R/R: Rant: I took home my laptop from work last night and accidentally left it at home this morning. I had to do an hour round trip to go grab it... now I have to stay late to make up the hours.
CS/Q: Just an observation, have decided that I started a new cycle and last cycle was anovulatory. I think my body is still adjusting itself since the MC and coming off BC.
GTKY: What is your favorite song from a movie? Bonus points for links and videos! I am pretty much in love with all the music from the Guardians of the Galaxy sound track.
@mispanda So sorry for your loss! Take some time for you and YH and come join us again when you are ready. @ag90 Have fun on your trip in Hawaii!! @cbobell2009 Love Dirty Dancing and it's sound track!
@slaven I hope that this one does the trick but if not, I hope the other gyno is able to figure it out and finally get it fixed.
@cdnrunning I actually went to a raclette party that my Canadian friend threw. You just have to help it catch on around here.
@JulesDP I hope you have something fun planned for your awesome hair night Friday!
@Pinky917 I would just ignore the question and say IDK when they're done talking. As for the treats, one thing I do is to try to be really honest about what I do like and what I don't like and make choices based on that. Have a little bit of one thing that you really do like and convince yourself that the rest isn't up to par or came from nasty kitchens. For example, if something isn't my favorite version of that thing (cake, brownies) etc, I just don't even give it another thought and tell myself I'll hold out for my favorite version. If I'm still thinking about it in a few days, I'll go procure my favorite version and have a little bit.
@JJMNO1616 That movie did have a really good soundtrack. And the gif reminded me of 10 Things when she was blasting Bad Reputation.
@jess0211 So glad to hear that he's feeling better. FX for continued healing!
@mispanda I am so very sorry. If you want to talk about any of it, I'm happy to or there are others who would also be happy to. Please take care of yourself.
@purplg8r *TW* I am so sorry that you're going through this and it's anything but a linear process for you. I don't know for sure but if I were to hazard a guess, I think you should prepare yourself for your doctor suggesting a D & C or trying the Cytotec to help your body along. My guess would be that there is some retained tissue and that's also why you're still bleeding. Like I said, I don't know but that's what I would guess. I'm so sorry.
@MTgirlCOworld You might look into their leave policies. If you have a couple companies, it might be worth it to put your cards on the table with the plan b company and ask for protections outside of FMLA in the form of a signed contract. It is so stressful to try to balance career and FMLA and all of it.
@darkrose88 Gah! That is such a terrible feeling when you walk into your office and for a second you can't figure out what is missing and then you realize. Ugh. The one thing that has helped me with that trick is that I keep my keys on a carabiner and when I bring my computer home, I clip them to the handle of the bag so I can't leave without it. It's also really handy because I keep them grouped into office keys, house keys, and my car key so I can separate them when I want/need to. When I leave my car at the valet lot by the airport, I can just leave them the car key and keep my house/office keys so if something weird happens, I still have those keys.

@Kiki75 I actually made it through today doing something just like that. I told myself I would allow myself to have one thing, so the anticipation of waiting for something really good helped to just avoid all of it. I was really proud for making it through the day without having any of it!
@Kiki75 that is such a great idea! I've been having to bring my laptop home more often, and this is the third time I've realized I left it. Although, the last time two times, I realized half way to work so was able to immediately turn around and go get it. I really need to figure out a solution for bringing it home with me and NOT forgetting it.
@cdnrunning There is an alternative to the train (which is like $50 round trip). There's a free bus that goes from our base up there and takes like 5 hours and leaves at 5am. blehhhh. If I could get the appointment for a Friday or Monday DH could potentially get leave and we could go to Seoul for the weekend.
@jess0211 If I have to go to a gyno I'll ask about boric acid suppositories. Not something I think I'll try without consulting a dr first.
@Sailing_Mama It's not even traveling to a good gyno. There are Korean ones in our city but they like to keep all medical care at military facilities if possible. Makes sense because they can keep records that are in English to send on when you move. We move soon so that may be the reason.
TW Oh and when I was waiting for my appointment a lady came in (with an infant in her arms) for a pregnancy test. And here I am, with an antibiotic that says not to take while pregnant and my mindset is "well probably not, as usual" (plus I just O'd so no baby will be implanted by the time I'm done with the antibiotic) /TW
@Pinky917@ag90@Avrilmai@purplg8r@KariAnn323 - Thanks for the well-wishes! The RE appointment went really well. I was super pleased with all of the staff that I interacted with, they definitely go above and beyond there. Definitely more confident with their clinic than my OB's office.
@slaven - Sorry to hear you're having troubles. I know some people who swear by international healthcare, but others who avoid it like the plague. FX your round of treatment works so you don't have to go that far to see another doc.
@KariAnn323 - Glad your enjoyed your massage. Too bad it's not closer to you!
@cdnrunning - That sounds awesome! I went to a few restaurants in Thailand that had table grills and always thought they were so neat. Didn't know you could buy one for at home!
@mispanda - So sorry to hear that. Take all the you time you need.
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, Diet, Exercise, BBT, OPKs, HIO, etc. I should get CH tomorrow so at that point I'll jump over to TWW.
R/R: Rave: I had my RE appointment Monday I loved it! Everyone in the office from the desk staff, the office manager, the nurse and of course the Dr. herself were all amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I was fully educated on everything and that I was well taken care of. Doc thinks my OB/Gyn missed me having PCOS when she did my earlier bloodwork and SIS, so she put me on a strict diet and ordered more bloodwork, which I plan on doing on my day off Monday.
Rant: I had totally given up on O'ing this month. I legit thought it was going to be anovulatory. I gave up and broke down and cried Sunday because I was just feeling so frustrated about this whole process. I was so bummed I didn't even want to reciprocate when DH was trying to get me in the mood. Low and behold, O 2 days later. WTF body.
Also speaking of, the pasts 3 cycles now I've had the most *horrible* O-pain accompanied by vomiting. The first two I was lucky because they happened on my off-day, but I had to leave work after an hour and a half on Tuesday and was pretty much miserable the rest of the morning & early afternoon. Luckily H was home and took good care of me. We even managed to HIO later that day and the next, but with us skipping the weekend that only puts us at a 0, -1 and it's totally my fault. As bad as it sounds I'll be so happy when he gets back to a normal work schedule again so we can more efficiently DTD.
I officially hate grocery stores now. The diet she gave me has so many factors to consider I'm just at a near loss as to what is acceptable to eat. I'm slowly starting to come into it, but the past few days have been super frustrating.
CS/Q: For those of you with severe O pain, what do you do to manage it? My nurse recommended ginger or saltines, but I was wondering what others used. I don't have enough sick time on the books to constantly take off 2/3 of my work day once a cycle.
GTKY: And I couldn't pick just one, so I'm just going to drop this here. It's the song my best friend and I randomly break into song the most. I enjoyed the original Broadway filmed version, but Chris Pine overacting in the Hollywood release a few years back just makes my day every time.
@heatherdubrow - I don't know if there's a name for it, but apparently its one she puts all of her clients on. The paperwork the nurse gave me looked like it was maybe geared towards IVF patients. The general premise is high fluids, high protein, limited carbs, and anything with carbs has to be on the lower end of low (under 40) in the Glycemic Index. I tried to relate it to current fad diets I know of that could equate, but she'd say "well no, because of _________". I've never done a diet where I couldn't just quick-search something or look at a nutritional label before (I'm in accounting, so numbers/calculations speak to me fairly easily). I have to look everything up, but the databases and lists I've found are far from complete so there's no easy answer to most products. So far I'm learning lots of things I like to eat that I can't anymore like bananas, popcorn, juice, and my favorite low-fat yogurt.
WAYDTGKU: BD, CM, CP, BBT, OPK, can't take vitamins again until Monday night
R/R: MFM moved my appointment to a day later and it's a good thing because I didn't realize it was originally scheduled for a day I have parent teacher conferences and won't be home until 9 at the earliest.
CS/Q: Had a huge drop to 96.87 two days ago and discarded it. Not sure what caused it, but I did fall asleep on the couch before waking up at 11ish. Didn't temp until 5, so it's weird.
GTKY: What is your favorite song from a movie? Bonus points for links and videos!
I'm pretty partial to the songs from Grease and thought I'd like LaLa Land, but some parts felt too Broadway and out of place. I remember loving the Goo Goo Dolls song "Iris" from City of Angels.
@jess0211 My sister was obsessed with Devon Sawa! Such a memorable song!! @Kiki75 That is such a great and terrible movie! @MTgirlCOworld I hope the answer on what to do becomes easy for you. @mispanda I'm sorry. You are not alone! @purplg8r Did they do an ultrasound?
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@Kiki75 thanks for the advice! I think I am going to try to mentally prepare for that
@NYTino24 *tw * they did an ultrasound last Tuesday and there was nothing to indicate there was still a pregnancy because my lining was too thin. On Wednesday the dr said the good new is that it wasn't ectopic either. Because that ones still in my mind too**

@NYTino24 that just came back yesterday. The nurse said she wasn't sure what the rising hcg meant. But the spotting has turned to red flow again with clots.
