R/R: when I was kissing H goodbye this morning, he said "Lunch is at 11:15 right?" I thought he was confused and thought it was the weekend but he said "no---at school". He's going to bring me lunch again!! Sounds silly but when he first got this job, they had to work so much overtime that I wouldn't see him at all during the week and since I hated his job, I told him he had to bring me lunch once a week so I could at least see him. He got scheduled overtime tonight which would make it so I didn't see him this week and he realized that and decided to have a lunch date all on his own!!
CS/Q:

CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: Probably a mixture of Bashful and Happy, with a little bit of Sneezy currently thanks to spring allergies!
R/R: I caved yesterday and did an opk. It was positive but of course my DH had a bad day at work and I was super tired so BD wasn't successful. We might try tonight but honestly, I don't even care right now. I'm looking forward to our vacation in two weeks and if I'm no KU for it, that's fine with me. We will have at least one BD during FW. I'm just kinda over it this month.

I'm thinking of running on Sunday. @Augusta108 Sounds like a fun night. @BertieMeetsGertie Hopefully you get some good timing in still. If not, there's always vacation sex!

CS/Q: What the hell is going on with my chart? My temp has been the same (within 0.2 of a degree) since CD12 except for one high temp. Argh!!!
GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) Id like to think Doc, but DH would probably say Grumpy.

CSQ
GTKY As of late definitely Sleepy. I can't get enough!
@rvamom315 Plus it's Friday, it should be illegal to work out on Fridays! Take that break!
@bertiemeetsgertie Once still counts. Plus, it can be a good thing you did an OPK so you know when AF is coming/don't get freaked out if it's early/late, etc.

R/R: follie check this afternoon!! so FIL spent the night at our house last night (planned) but then SIL also came over for the night (not planned)... Thankfully we were able to put together an impromtu dinner and desert and it all worked out OK but I was not expecting a house full of guests..

@purplg8r that is so sweet of your DH, enjoy your lunch date! @BertieMeetsGertie sorry spelunking didn't work out last night. hugs @starla unfortunatally your going to have delayed O... but at least you have pretty steady temps so any shift should be super clear. @dilynne feel better soon @hartmich hayyyy lady!

R/R: It's Friday! And I am up early for the gym, even though I thought it was going to kill me haha
CS/Q: I'll post this in the CS thread too, but... did I miss my surge? Yesterday's high temp was from only sleeping for three hours (I thought), but then today's is highish too for no reason (the open circle is because I temped a half hour early because of the gym). If I put in another 97.71, I get dotted CH for CD18. I've only been doing OPKs once a day, and would normally start twice a day today.
GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) Oooh... hard one... probably Happy, but I have been awfully Sleepy the past while
@wabash15 I'm super impressed you were able to throw together a full dinner with dessert on such short notice! I knew it was a real possibility that O would be delayed.. but I'm still frustrated and impatient about it. I'm worried it won't happen and then starting to get freaked out about the days ticking by and me getting older (turning 34 in a couple months). On the plus side, DH has been super awesome about the whole thing. We BD'd last night and he said "are you getting close to O yet? we might as well keep doing it!" And I told him that it wasn't close yet, but we could still have sex just for the fun of it. He seems pretty relaxed about it, but like he he's eager to keep trying so that's good.

R/R: has a really busy morning today. Had to see my RE because of pain I've been having, looks like I have a bladder infection from my hsg. I'm so thankful it's not a pelvic infection! He said sometimes the dye leaking out can irritate the bladder. Cheers to more antibiotics! Hopefully these ones are easier on the stomach!
CS/Q: had a high temp today even though I took it 2 hours early. I knew I wasn't going back to sleep. Looks like with a high temp tomorrow I will have CHs for Monday.

@sailing_mama I'm not convinced you've O'd...there is a super subtle temp shift but I think its still pre-O. fx and keep HIO @starla I totally get wanting to get the show on the road and move on. I was the same way. I was the same age you are when I was last trying, it can be hard to not feel pressure from that stupid clock ticking away. Hugs. Its good DH is excited about the process.

cdnrunning LOL
drank your face off… did that make the next day’s temp higher or lower? I’m a
marathon runner! What brand shoe are you getting? I’m on a two year Saucony mid-lightweight
obsession.
BertieMeetsGertie That is a great attitude
re: doing it during FW. I stressed way too much about it last month and want to
be more laid back this month.
starla Sorry about the CD. Ugh. But your
friend’s visit sounds really fun!
Dilynne
I hope you feel better. I was sick this week too—and went to work regardless.
Totally hate just sitting at home ALL day.
SoraLk Hello,
CD3 partner! Yay for one year to go until the wedding!
hoosiermama1 Who is not grumpy on CD1? Hugs! I was
not nice on CD1 this week!
Sailing_Mama Nothing beats an early workout! I
have to go at night tonight (late!), ugh. Thanks, DH’s work’s happy hour! That’s
a tough call re: if you missed your surge… your temps do seem to be trending up…
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, trying to have sex,
requesting a baby from the universe, temping, Ovia, etc.
R/R: Rant: Sometimes it feels like CDs go
so quickly, but sometimes it feels like every day/week/month is slow. Rave: I
like Dateline and it is new tonight… Yup, that’s my Friday night! And AF is
tapering off, which is nice.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven
Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy,
Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) I wouldn’t be any of them without
qualifiers, so I’ll go with the “Selectively Happy” dwarf.
R/R: Ugh been putting off laundry because I`ve been feeling lazy this week.

GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) Bashful I`m shy and don`t say much till I GTKY.
@SoraLk I admit that I struggled a bit with our wedding because I don't like being the center of attention. It's not really avoidable when you're the bride, however! My advice is just to relax as much as possible. I loved the planning piece!
@wabash15 yay for your follie check this afternoon!! Sorry you had to deal with semi-unexpected house guests last night.
@beachbunnyxo123 ugh. Sorry about the bladder infection. At least it's better than a pelvic infection!
Me: 31 DH: 32 Dating since: 11/17/2001 Married: 9/26/2009 TTC: June 2016
@purplg8r How sweet of YH! @cdnrunning I hope you get to relax this weekend! @Augusta108 Glad you had a good time at the concert! @BertieMeetsGertie Sorry about the 'blah' cycle. I know the feeling. Glad you have vacation to look forward to. @starla "Hiding the one eyed monster" made my morning hahaha. @Dilynne Hope you feel better soon! @SoraLk Ahh wedding planning can be so fun! How exciting! @RVAmom315 Great job with the workouts! I only went to the gym twice and I half-assed it yesterday...oops. @hartmich Boo to missing FW @hoosiermama1 Sorry about CD 1 @wabash15 GL today!!! @Sailing_Mama I suck at charts, but at least you have good timing if you O'd earlier than expected! @beachbunnyxo123 Sorry about the infection. Glad you've got treatment so you won't be in pain too much longer! @EmilyLove25 I feel the same! The beginning of this cycle was so slow, and now I'm on CD 16 and I'm like, how did that happen?!
@beachbunnyxo123 Sorry for the infection! Hope it clears up soon @EmilyLove25 I love Dateline too! The ID Channel is my favorite. I'm way too obsessed with stuff like that
R/R: Rant: I went off BCP in late March last year, so I just count April 1st as when we started...which means tomorrow I officially roll over into more than one year. Rave: Friday! Also, DH told me that he told his mom more about our struggles to get KU yesterday, which I know would bother some people, but I'm kind of happy about it. I'm really nervous for the next time we go visit and see DH's cousin's new baby so I'm glad there's more than just DH who will understand my feelings.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) Bashful 100%. Major introvert. Also people at work constantly are telling me how quiet I am (or making hilarious (yeah, right) jokes about how loud I am) and I want to punch them.
@purplg8r That is so sweet! Enjoy your lunch date!
@BertieMeetsGertie Sorry you are feeling over it. Hugs, I know the feeling.
@starla I think this has been my favorite euphemism yet! I almost spit up my tea. Sounds like you have a really nice day lined up for tomorrow, have fun!
@Dilynne Hope you are feeling better soon!
@SoraLk Good luck with the wedding planning!
@RVAmom315 Nice job with the work outs! You earned that break!!
@hartmich Sorry DH will be away for FW.
Sorry for CD1 @hoosiermama1
Good luck today @wabash15!!! I applaud your ability to put together dinner and desert on such short notice. I probably would have gone into panic mode ha ha!

GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) If I know you well, Dopey. If I don't know you well, Bashful.
Month/Cycle: 1/1 (still just learning the TTC ropes)
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: Prenatals, charting and temping, and have just been prescribed Metformin after results of my most recent blood work.
R/R: It's Friday which is a day I don't work out and get to sleep just a little later so I had some great puppy cuddles with one of our dogs this morning.
CS/Q: tl;dr - Anyone on here experience cervix softness as a sign of impending O? Background - I am not confident I will O this month as I had Mirena out 10 days ago - I was told I would get period and immediately regain cycle but I have read that is not true for everyone. I don't totally trust my own observations on CF yet - it feels slippery right now but I am second guessing myself because paying attention to it is new. What I am more confident about is that my cervix feels softer than it did a few days ago and also just a little more difficult to reach. I understand this to be a possible sign of impending O but don't see it mentioned as much as CF changes.
GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) I think this time of year I'd be Sneezy because its allergy season and I live in one of the worst cities in the world for pollen.
R/R: I am so friggen mad at myself. Took another day off work and chickened out on my bloodwork again. I give up. Why even try to get KU if I can't do this. This is such a frustrating phobia.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) Grumpy right now.

@EmilyLove25 I've been running in Altra's (Intuition) for the last few years. I'm not sure what's next. I need something that's fairly stiff (moderate cushioning) to prevent too much flexion of my right toe. I'm going to look at Altra's, Hoka's and at least one other brand. I've been running in zero drop shoes for a long time now.
@wabash15 ugh unplanned guests can be rough! Glad you were able to whip something up and not get too stressed. Good luck with the follie check today!!
@beachbunnyxo123 I'm so sorry about the bladder infection!! I didn't even realize that could happen after an HSG. Hope it clears up quickly and you feel better soon!

GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) Probably a cross between Happy and Sleepy.

GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.)
Sneezy for sure. I've always got an allergy attack happening - I'm allergic to my cats, but I love them so much, so I just suffer through the hives and runny nose and sneezing. I'm a glutton for punishment
R/R: Today has been a crazy day. I've been tied up all morning with patient stuff and I have appointments the rest of the day. Just stopping by to check in and say hi! Hopefully I can comment more a little later.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) Sleepy or Grumpy sadly
@FLAshley This really does sound like a severe phobia! You should consider talking to a therapist. Someone who knows Exposure Response Treatment would be able to help you.
@JJMNO1616 You are very right. It is severe. I am worried if something serious were to happen to me I would avoid treatment due to this fear. I have contacted a therapist - hoping I can get help.

CS/Q: What the hell is going on with my chart? My temp has been the same (within 0.2 of a degree) since CD12 except for one high temp. Argh!!!
GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.)
Id like to think Doc, but DH would probably say Grumpy.
Edit: 0.2 of a degree, not a whole degree.

@Augusta108 Sounds like a nice date night - definitely worth being tired today!
@BertieMeetsGertie Sorry that you're not that into everything this cycle - but I'm still keeping my FX that you'll get KTFU from that one time!
@starla! Have fun with your friend! Sorry that your cycle is still being weird - hopefully tomorrow will take your mind off it
@Dilynne Glad you're a bit better - but make sure you take it easy, so you can fight this off and enjoy the weekend!
@SoraLk Have fun with the wedding planning! Do you have much of a vision yet?
@RVAmom315 Way to go! That's a great week - and a day off from the gym is a good thing
@hartmich Sorry you might miss out on timing this month - any chance you can go meet him for a rendezvous?

R/R: It's Friday! And I am up early for the gym, even though I thought it was going to kill me haha
CS/Q: I'll post this in the CS thread too, but... did I miss my surge? Yesterday's high temp was from only sleeping for three hours (I thought), but then today's is highish too for no reason (the open circle is because I temped a half hour early because of the gym). If I put in another 97.71, I get dotted CH for CD18. I've only been doing OPKs once a day, and would normally start twice a day today.

I knew it was a real possibility that O would be delayed.. but I'm still frustrated and impatient about it. I'm worried it won't happen and then starting to get freaked out about the days ticking by and me getting older (turning 34 in a couple months). On the plus side, DH has been super awesome about the whole thing. We BD'd last night and he said "are you getting close to O yet? we might as well keep doing it!" And I told him that it wasn't close yet, but we could still have sex just for the fun of it. He seems pretty relaxed about it, but like he he's eager to keep trying so that's good.

He said sometimes the dye leaking out can irritate the bladder. Cheers to more antibiotics! Hopefully these ones are easier on the stomach!

cdnrunning LOL drank your face off… did that make the next day’s temp higher or lower? I’m a marathon runner! What brand shoe are you getting? I’m on a two year Saucony mid-lightweight obsession.
BertieMeetsGertie That is a great attitude re: doing it during FW. I stressed way too much about it last month and want to be more laid back this month.
starla Sorry about the CD. Ugh. But your friend’s visit sounds really fun!
Dilynne I hope you feel better. I was sick this week too—and went to work regardless. Totally hate just sitting at home ALL day.

R/R: It's Friday which is a day I don't work out and get to sleep just a little later so I had some great puppy cuddles with one of our dogs this morning.
CS/Q: tl;dr - Anyone on here experience cervix softness as a sign of impending O? Background - I am not confident I will O this month as I had Mirena out 10 days ago - I was told I would get period and immediately regain cycle but I have read that is not true for everyone. I don't totally trust my own observations on CF yet - it feels slippery right now but I am second guessing myself because paying attention to it is new. What I am more confident about is that my cervix feels softer than it did a few days ago and also just a little more difficult to reach. I understand this to be a possible sign of impending O but don't see it mentioned as much as CF changes.
GTKY: If you were one of the (already named) Seven Dwarfs which one would you be? (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.) I think this time of year I'd be Sneezy because its allergy season and I live in one of the worst cities in the world for pollen.
