GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush?
Re: TWW Wednesday
Month/Cycle: 7
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: good
Testing: not until missed AF but who knows when that will be.
R/R: I'm so sick of feeling like a chicken with my head cut off. I can't wait for summer so I can just focus on one thing. I love being a teacher.
CS/Q: nada- my cycles are so weird due to b6 that who knows what is going to happen this month.
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush? Rachel McAdams. Love her.
Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 24/3
Timing: -2, -1, O, +1
Testing: 10 DPO (next Wednesday, which feels impossibly far away)
R/R: I woke up at 3:30 this morning, with a head cold, and couldn't go back to sleep. Going to be a long day.
CS/Q: I don't need a chart stalk today, but would someone mind pointing me in the direction of instructions on how to embed that for the future? Thank you!
GTKY: my always and forever girl crush is Rachel Maddow, just love her. My husband met her at a bar when we lived in DC and he's still in the doghouse for not calling me to come meet up.
@Brooklyngirl6 love Rachel McAdams, her films are such a delight. Do you mind my asking what is the b6 for?
DS2: Jan. 2016
DS3: Dec. 2017
Baby #4 on the way!
CD/DPO: 21/8 ish
Timing: good
Testing: Maybe on the 28th.
R/R: It was raining here today and I had a headache and I was subbing for art class. I felt bad when a first grader asked if I was mad at them but I have horrible rbf and I can't hide when I'm upset or in pain from the headache. They were coloring in a color wheel but there were only like 4 red crayons for the kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders (20-23 in each class, which I feel is over crowded at that age).
DH got me an oreo shake and we DTD so I feel better haha. Heading to bed in a minute.
TMI warning: While DTD, DH wanted a titty fuck (hate that term but don't know what else to call it) but asked if I needed a baby deposit. He's sweet haha /TMI
Most months my breasts hurt and swell during the TWW. Last month they didn't and I got my hopes up but this month they're achy again.
CS/Q:
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush? I love Adele but I wouldn't call it a girl crush, I just like her music. I don't think I'm super involved with celebrities enough to have a girl crush.
TTC since August 2018
CD/DPO: 22/4
Timing: good
Testing: meh.
R/R: Rant: It's going to be a long two days and my boobs hurt so badly again this cycle. Rave: DH is feeling so much better and able to help in a small way around the house again.
CS/Q: nothing
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush? This is a hard one....either Tina Fey or Miranda Lambert
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: almost ED during FW
Testing: Meh, maybe next monday, maybe not until AF is late.
R/R: The head cold has hit the julesdp household. I don't want to take nyquil or anything since I'm in the tww, so I didn't sleep very well. I also don't want to take dayquil, so I'm currently sneezing like a banshee and breathing with my mouth open (totes adorable).
CS/Q:
GTKY: Definitely a tie between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
@slaven mmmm oreo shake!! The cookies & cream shakes from Chick-fil-a are my kryptonite!
@jess0211 Glad to hear that YH is feeling better!
@adirat so sorry that your body is being such a troll. RUDE.

DD Born 10/20/17
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: -3, -2, -1, +1
Testing: nope
R/R: So apparently last night my body decided it was going to produce EWCM for the first time since coming off BC 10 months ago. That's cool, you know except for the fact that O already happened. WTF body, why can't you just get your shit together already?!?!
CS/Q: --
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush? Jennifer Lawrence

Clomid + Ovidrel + IUI 7/2017 - Cancelled (overstimulated)

Letrozole + Ovidrel + IUI#3 - BFP! EDD July 15 2018
Baby Girl H - July 22 2018
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: decent
Testing: tested twice even though I know better. I wouldn't get a positive until at least Friday/Saturday when AF is due.
R/R: DH was being super loud this morning (at 4am) because he was "running late", then couldn't find his wallet. I got up to help him and we eventually found it in a random place. I got snippy and told him he's dumb for always putting his stuff in random places every day. I couldn't really sleep after that
CS/Q:
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush?
Jennifer Lawrence. Her personality and sense of humor is amazing.

@jess0211 Glad to hear your H is starting to feel better!
@JulesDP Ugh. Sorry the head cold has hit your house. Major bummer.
Month/Cycle: 8/9
CD/DPO: 25/12
Timing: -3, -1
Testing: no point. Still spotting this morning and a temp drop. FML
R/R: Just talked with my Dr. about getting an AMH test because my FSH seemed pretty high for my age. She said that my FSH wasn't "abnormally" high, but I did get the impression that she thought it was high for my age. She said that it wouldn't necessarily keep me from getting pregnant. Regarding testing, she basically said that Kaiser won't start the testing until the year mark, pretty much what I figured. I believe my insurance covers testing at 50%. Kaiser doesn't have RE's on staff, so I guess they do the testing in-house and then refer to Shady Grove Fertility for treatment, etc. Good to know in case we end up needing it. I need to check my insurance again though because I thought that IUIs were covered at 75% or something but I know IVF isn't covered.
CS/Q: chart looked reallllllllyyyyyyyy good, until today.
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush?
Viola Davis! She is SOOOOO AMAZING in everything she does.

CD/DPO: 21/5
R/R: I left my phone at home today and I absolutely HATE the feeling of not having my phone. It's sad how attached to it I am but the addiction is strong. I also have to post a go today but I hope to be back on the grid later to chit chat. Hope everyone has a nice day.
CS/Q: My temp went up a smidge more today but not enough to really matter. At least they seem to be "holding" and I haven't had any random drops.
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush? Jennifer Lawrence all dayyyy. Love her.
CD/DPO: 25/5
Timing: -2, -1, +1
Testing: Waiting until next Friday, if I can stand the suspense.
R/R: Rave: Hump day! I feel ready for the weekend already. Rant: I suspected that I would O on Friday but the hubs and I both fell asleep after a stressful week for both of us. I ended up waking up at 1AM and trying to entice him, but he wasn't having it (which really is unusual, honestly) and I was so bummed about it... and kind of angry with him, even though I know I was being a bit unreasonable. I don't want to suck the fun out of baby making so early in the game, but c'mon Mr. Hubs! Anyway, when my temp didn't spike on Saturday I thought maybe O was delayed, but my crosshairs showed up today and FF thinks it was Friday. Oh well, hopefully our timing was decent even if we missed O day.
CS/Q: What do you ladies think? O on Friday? Sunday? Is the fact that my post-O temp is hovering about .3 degrees above the coverline normal/should I expect it to be higher? Thanks for your insight as this is my first cycle charting and had my IUD removed in December.
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush? I'm not majorly into following celebrities, but I do think Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous. I also love Rachel McAdams.
@KatieEl & @JulesDP Sorry you're sick, especially since you can't medicate. Hope it passes quickly.
@adirat hopefully you can get the show on the road soon! BFNs still suck though.
@ktcakes87 Ugh. I hate when DH is loud in the morning. Like, step OUT of the bedroom with your nonsense!

CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: decent
Testing: I impulsively took a cheap test this morning like a cool kid
R/R: I'm involved in fighting the development of a wetlands area in my town. Making a website, writing some letters today. Rant cos it's stupid we have to, rave cos I feel like we have a chance.
CS/Q: My temp was 98.2 > 97.8 > 98.3 these past three days, so voila: imaginary implantation dip of the mind.
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush? Elizabeth Warren
in culture-land: Joanna Newsom, Issa Rae, Evan Rachel Wood
@JulesDP @KatieEl I looked into it a little last month and I think it's OK to take benadryl tonight if you're still feeling it. It can dry up cervical mucus, but I don't think it would affect implantation or anything. I actually saw an article somewhere that it might actually help implantation?? And of course tylenol, if you're not already using it, might take the edge off. Totally your call, of course. Feel better!
@adirat @BertieMeetsGertie sorry for the negs/dips today
DPO: 4
Timing:Meh.
Testing:nope.
R/R: Crappy rainy day.

@KatieEL When I post pictures or my chart I typically just screen shot it from my phone and then upload it into the reply box. You just click on the little icon above the reply box that looks like a page with the corner bent and then click "choose file". You can upload gifs the same way. There may be a better way of doing it though that I'm not aware of.
@slaven LOL at your husband for "baby deposit".
@CandyApple2012 You may have just had a fallback rise? My pattern so far has been a slow rise so my O temp has not been particularly high above the CL. So I think Friday could still look good for O but there is probably someone here who has better insight then I do.
@ktcakes87 I totally know the feeling! I love temping because it makes me feel somewhat in control (and more excited about TTC with things being on hold right now) but I also obsess over every little thing.
@dilynne What do you mean you are not going to test? Like at all?? Do you think AF is on the way? I'm confused. lol
Edited for spelling
@slaven I have RBF too and it’s always like, I’m not mad! (Except I kind of am now, stop asking me what’s wrong! This is just my face.)
@Brooklyngirl6 Got it, thanks! I’ve historically had an LP on the shorter side, so I’m going to keep this in mind for the future.
@jess0211 @CandyApple2012 thank you!
@adirat Thank you and sorry about BFN and no AF, so frustrating when our bodies will not cooperate!
@JulesDP head colds suck! Sorry you’re not feeling well either.
@Pinky917 It took my body such a long time to regulate the first time I got off the pill, it’s so annoying. And everyone telling you you’re super fertile then (um, no) was not helpful either.
@ktcakes87 sorry your morning got off to such a rough start. My husband does the same thing, and it drives me bananas. You are a grown ass adult, keep track of your own stuff!
@JJMNO1616 I feel naked without my phone, I feel ya! (And Jennifer Lawrence is adorable, good pick!). And thanks so much for the chart embedding tips!
@orbmaker I always forget about Benadryl because I’m still breastfeeding, but now that he’s 13 months I’m less concerned if it makes my supply dip a little. Thanks for the reminder!
@Dilynne glad to hear your new job is going well!

Baby #4 on the way!
CD/DPO: I have to guess, since we decided to try on a whim, so I am not temping yet. I think I am between 7-9 DPO.
Timing: Timing was ok. Again, not sure how good.
Testing: I have no self control, I tested today. Will test in 2 more days.
R/R: my kids have not slept all week, good reminder of life with a new born.
CS/Q: none.
Gtky:. I don't really have a girl crush right now.
CD/DPO: 34/11
Timing: -2, +1
Testing: Maybe Saturday if af doesn't show up to ruin my positive mood
R/R: This Michigan weather has me dreaming of spring and warmer weather... but it will be cold again this weekend because, well, Michigan.
CS/Q: TMI:: Does anyone else experience EWCM after O? If I am correct, I should be taking O as the day that is favorable with both a temp and fertile CM, and not EWCM alone? Typically, I just get watery cm... second guessing my decent timing over here.
GTKY: who is your celebrity GIRL crush? I am in LOVE with Sophia Bush... I kind of stalk her on IG.
