GTKY: Waht would you be doing if you weren't at your current job?
Re: Monday WTO
CD: 10
WARDTGKU: everything
R/R: I forgot to temp again this morning...
CS/Q:
GTKY- Something in fitness. I've thought about going back to school to get an exercise is physiology degree.
CD:14
WAYDTGKU?: PNV, OPK, BBT, EOD, Preseed
R/R: Positive OPK yesterday and Saturday but I still had some EWCM this morning so I'm hoping to O tomorrow or Wednesday.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What would you be doing if you weren't at your current job? I'd love to go back to school to become a nurse. I didn't like my job before I was a SAHM which made the transition easier. Hoping to go back with I'm done having kids and they are older.
3yrs, 2nd month with RE
CD:

WAYDTGKU?:
Clomid 50mg for now, trigger shot later, pineapples
R/R:
I've got 12 hour shifts for the next 3 days
CS/Q:
GTKY: What would you be doing if you weren't at your current job?
Right now I'm an EMT for a security company. I plan on going back to school this year to become an RN. I would like to work in ICU or NICU. Originally I went to school for teaching. I would have loved to work with kids, but teaching just doesn't make enough money.
Month/Cycle: 8/10
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: CM, OPKS, abbreviated version of temping. PNVs, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc, avoiding soy and BPA. This is our IF testing cycle so bloodwork and an HSG too.
R/R: DH found two frozen lobster tails in the freezer so I think we're going to have lobster tonight! Yum!
CS/Q: @loveindc Were you the one recently asking about oral temping with mouth guard? Last night I got my mouth guard back out and temped this morning with it. I didn't see a difference in my temps, though I had serious dry mouth so I imagine it could impact it. (This reminded me why I stopped using it -- my mouth doesn't fully close so it gets super dry.)
GTKY: Super cliche, but I'd try to write a novel.

WAYDTGKU?: all the normal vitamins, coq10 etc. plus maca... and waiting to get our next round of bw drawn
R/R: DH is stalling on getting his labs drawn, so I'm trying to cut him some slack, because this ish is definitely getting hella old! Lol but I'll probably have to push back our next f/u from Feb 14th, too, bc the doctor said it can take 3-4 weeks to come back...
CS/Q: nah
<span>GTKY: maybe teaching, since thats what my Master's is in, Education
@canonmom413. Are you temping? Most of us like to wait till three days after suspected O before moving over, since O can only be confirmed in hindsight. That's why it takes 3 days for FF to give you CH, gives you time to see cm "dry up" post-O, sustained elevated temp shift, etc. Of course you can feel free to do what you want, but the typical ttgp thing is to wait for the third day before moving over. Up to you though! Like sometimes ladies have triggered just move bc they trust the drugs to have done their job, have total confidence in their timing bc of trigger + iui, doctor's supervision etc.
Edited redundancy </span>
Yes. I am I will post later when my phones charged
Oct. '17 June S.C. "You Had 1 Job"
Month/Cycle: 2/2 after break
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, PNV, etc etc etc
Honestly, I love my jobs. I would be a full time photographer if I could though. That's the only thing I would change. I have also thought about teaching. But I don't see me actually doing it.
Oct. '17 June S.C. "You Had 1 Job"
@BlackRose -Ugh.. 12 hour shifts are no fun. I hope you're getting overtime? Hoping the next 3 days go by fast!
Got cross-hairs this morning! Heading over to TWW!
BFP #2 3/18/19 * EDD 11/25/19* DS born 11/30/19
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU?: PNV, BBT (once my thermometer arrives), CM
R/R: Some political content ahead.
I was a nanny for the same family for eight years. Yesterday, my now 13-year-old "little sister" attended a protest against our president's latest order and stated,
"We're looking at the faces of the directive and grandchildren of immigrants that were welcomed into this country. We will not stand by as others are not granted the same right."
I'm so proud of her
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU?: everything. Now that last night was my last I'm thinking of starting temping tomorrow, but now sure since I'll be taking progesterone and don't want to get too hopeful
R/R: just happy to finally be off for a while and curious to see what my midcycle scan shows on wednesday
CS/Q:
GTKY: What would you be doing if you weren't at your current job? Only going to be in my job for a few more years anyway until I go and finish school then I'll do that. I'm so over health care

<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/ng/4dduh8yb5yyq.gif" alt="">
CS/Q: nothin' today
GTKY: I was a printmaker and painter (as well as a nanny) before I became an RN. Some days I really miss that version of my life, but I love my job in the emergency department. That said, I can't imagine doing it forever, and plan to get a Master's as a psychiatric NP in a couple of years.
@mispanda, @BlackRose — the nursing profession wants you! Join us! What makes you lean toward ICU, Rose?
@adirat — sounds great! start with a short story!
Happy birthday @canonmom413
@adirat - That was me! I think someone else was in the conversation too. I also suffer from year-round allergies, so it's really a toss-up if I'm going to be a mouth breather or not each night. I ended up temping vaginally for my chart just to make it easier. Good to know that if I need to jump to oral temps, it could still work out alright
---
M/C: 3/3
CD: 13 - I think I'm seeing an O dip today. Going to give it until Wednesday or so before I jump to the TWW.
WAYDTGKU?: HIO EOD, PNV, CM, BBT, symptoms
R/R: I'm sure I'll have one once I get back from the appointment. It'll either be a hit or miss. Wish me luck!
CS/Q: I read an article yesterday that said O dips are very rare (15% of women). But nearly every O chart I see on FF shows one. What's the deal? What does TCOYF say?
GTKY: I sort of have my dream job already. I suppose if I couldn't stay in it, my pipe dream would be to write and teach poetry at the collegiate level?

R/R: It snowed last night and the roads were absolute crap this morning; it took me twice as long to get to work. It’s supposed to slow down today although I may still leave just a little early to try and avoid traffic on the way home. We’ll have to see.
I wanted to make sure to say thank you to all of you for your thoughts and comments on my family’s situation. You all are more than just internet strangers to me and I consider you all friends; I am lucky to have found such a supportive community full of so many amazing women!
CS/Q: no…?
GTKY: I originally went to school for early childhood education so if I hadn’t started in insurance, I probably would be a teacher right now.

@orbmaker Well I am a combat medic for the military and I think that has a lot of influence on the decision. I like knowing that in an emergency situation I can help make a difference. Since I'm in the guard I don't get to do it and I feel like I'm not being of any use. So I would like to do something like that every day. I leaned towards NICU sometimes because of two of my friends. **TW loss mentioned** One friend was pregnant with a little boy the found out his heart had a hole in it and would need surgery right after birth. Sadly his lungs weren't fully developed and they couldn't preform the surgery he needed. My other friend struggled with infertility and ended up pregnant with twins after using clomid. The babies were born at 22 weeks so they were in NICU for months. unfortunately one of them didn't make it. The little girl however is a little over a year old now.
@lulu1180: Boo for snow! I think it's pretty, but prefer it stays in the mountains. Continuing to send positive thoughts for your family.
@LoveinDC: FX O is coming soon! No idea on the O dip thing.
kaitlink33 Hope your appointment goes well!
mispanda FX O is soon!
@orbmaker: That's awesome that a young child/teen is so active given the current situation in our country!
canonmom413 Happy Birthday!
BusinessWife Sorry your DH is stalling on tests...and hopefully you can get your tests done soon.
adirat @LoveinDC: I sleep with a nightly mouth/grind guard and temp with it in. I guess I never thought about it affecting temps. The only time I haven't temped with it in was on vacation when I forgot it. My temps were a bit erratic, but I think it was more due to the change in time zone.

CS/Q:
GTKY: Waht would you be doing if you weren't at your current job?
I job hate DF so probably something in law enforcement. He always has the best stories. My skin is so thin though I would probably take everything so personally.

Babybis totally healthy and I snuggled the heck out of him. I'm still a little baffled as to why she induced early, and I wonder if it contributed to her bleeding. End TW**

I always thought the NICU would be an amazing place to work. When I went back to school to be a nurse, I was convinced I wanted to work in pediatrics, and in palliative (end-of-life/chronic illness) care specifically. One of my brothers passed away after living with a childhood cancer and I felt a pull to pay it forward to those facing similar challenges. I don't know if it's my hormonal proximity to child-rearing, but when I did my school rotations in Labor & Delivery and Peds Oncology, I could not plug up the waterworks. It was secretly-sobbing-in-the-bathroom bad.
Working the ED is really interesting. You see everything! One minute you're doing diabetes education, then you're doing a physical exam on a 5 year old, the next you're pushing epi in a code. You might like it!

TTC #3 5/2016
Restarted Fertility tx
IUI 2 rounds, baby girl 12/17
I’m back from the new OBGYN and I have questions! She was super sweet. Very chill. Overall, I think our attitudes mesh very well. She gave me a bunch of PNV samples and even some morning sickness pills in case I needed them soon (FX). One thing struck me very odd though.
I told her I was charting BBT. I also told her that my first cycle off BCP was 46 days. She told me if my BBT doesn’t spike tomorrow, or I had another cycle less than 25 or greater than 35 days, she wanted to start me on Clomid. Is that normal? She was very nonchalant and cavalier about it and said if I could prove I didn’t ovulate one cycle, that’s all she needed before we started.
She did mention that after 6 months of Clomid, she would at most do an HSG before referring me to an RE. So I don’t think she is trying to treat IF, just try and give healthy women the best odds. But is there any danger jumping on Clomid so early? Or taking too much of it? Red flag? I haven't even considered discussing it so early, so I'm a bit behind the ball here.

@mispanda – Congrats on positive OPK! FX for O.
