@RVAmom515 Bit jealous at how much you've exercised. My fiance has been subtly suggesting I get back into doing my yoga. I always seem to stop when I get sick and never get back to it.
@Sailing_Mama Not much of a vision, thinking something fantasy themed. The only thing I have settled really is the colors (a nice lavender and turquoise), and everything else is pretty much changing on a whim.
@beachbunnyxo123 Sorry you haven't been feeling well, but I'm glad the RE figured out what it was. Hoping the antibiotics aren't too harsh!
@EmilyLove25 Hi partner! I've been putting in requests to the universe too, maybe this month the universe will give us the answer we want
@BertieMeetsGertie Thank you, I'll do my best, right now excitement is overriding any anxiety I might have though. I'm rather happy my best friend from high school is getting married first (September) so I can ask her all sorts of questions while I'm planning mine.
@zamora_spin Yes, cervical position is something you can track, but CM/CF gives more cycle insight. If the other ladies haven't suggested it, the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" is the best resource on trying to conceive. It is very insightful, and should have the majority of answers to any questions you might have.
@LoveInDC Good to hear from you! I went back to read your IF update, and I'm so happy your OBGYN is supportive. Sending positive vibes your way!
Also a shout out to all those who are wishing me well with the wedding planning, I kinda lost track of everyone writing this post in between work meetings.

@zamora_spin welcome! Yes, when you are close to O, your CP will be high, soft, open, and wet. I will tell you that it took me a couple of months to really figure out my CP stages. If you haven't already, I would suggest reading taking charge of your fertility. I learned so much from that book. GL!
@FLAshley hugs, friend. I would maybe try finding a therapist that could treat your phobia with desensitization. Basically working little by little to address the issue. Best of luck to you!
Me: 31 DH: 32 Dating since: 11/17/2001 Married: 9/26/2009 TTC: June 2016
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Melatonin, EPO, fish oil, CoQ10, baby aspirin, pineapple core days 1-5 after O, pom juice, RRL tea, green tea, super nasty Chinese herbal tea twice a day, BBT, OPKs, preseed, GDTPT, acupuncture
R/R: Acupuncture yesterday was pretty good. I like the body as a whole approach and I'm looking forward to working with her. For now, we're going to do weekly. She thinks she can help move O up and lengthen my LP. She was happy that I came prepared with copies of all of my test results for her as well as a copy of 12 months of FF charting. She did ask me to temp out an entire cycle so she can better see the full pattern. Usually I give myself the first eight or so days off. And she sent me home with that foul tea. I think that when I run out I might ask to switch to the tincture option. At least you can just plain gulp something that's cool/room temp. Yesterday or today should be O.
Things you guys might be interested in:
She said zero coffee. Not even decaf. I don't remember the reasoning, though, and I don't have a picture of that info sheet in my phone.
She said that the way you can adjust temps for waking up at the wrong time is to add or subtract one tenth of a degree for every hour you were off. If you wake up early, add. If you wake up late, subtract.
She recommends Thorne's Basic Prenatal with methylated B-vitamins.
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.) Definitely sleepy. H was supposed to get home at about 10:30 last night and we were going to HIO (he left Tuesday). But he diverted to another city and then was way delayed due to weather problems. I tried to stay up for him/to at least find out if he was coming home at all (I was worried. He said the wind was crazy and that another plane landing there had ended up touching a wingtip on landing due to the wind) and stayed up until 12. He didn't end up rolling in until 3:00 or so and we did it then. I am wiped out.
Back for comments later!

@BertieMeetsGertie and @SoraLk - I have an ecopy of tcoyf and have started reading but am only about 25% of the way through and so far she is very focused on CF as the main indicator but it is a little tricky getting started to know if your CF is what she describes. I did a search and she says not to rely on cervical position/softness so I guess I will just see what happens, which is all any of us can do. I am sure I will improve my confidence with practice on these indicators. Thank you both for your help!
@cdnrunning yes to new running shoes!!! Do you have a certain pair you like? If so, checkout shoekicker.com. They'll show you the lowest price for them and set alerts for when prices drop.
@purplg8r That's so nice of your husband to bring you lunch! @cdnrunning I was going to ask what brands you like but then saw someone else beat me to it. I've never heard of any of the brands you mentioned! I always tend to buy Nike but I'm not much of a runner. I just buy shoes to wear to the gym. @Augusta108 Doing things like that during the week is always rough but luckily you just had to power through today! @bertiemeetsgertie Yay for vacations! @starla! The weekend plans with your friend sound awesome! Hope you have a ton of fun. @dilynne Sorry to hear you still are not feeling well. @soralk I'm so excited for you and your wedding planning! Try to enjoy it because it goes by so fast. @rvamom315 Wow good job on the fitness this week! I've been a lazy bum and only made it to the gym once this week. @hartmich Ugh! Sorry to hear about the bad timing. I'm going to have the same issue the very first month my DH and I start TTC. He is going out of town for a bachelor party at the exact time I should be Oing. @hoosiermama1 So what time did you make it until today? @wabash15 Hope your appointment went well today!! @beachbunnyxo123 Oh no, so sorry to hear about your infection. @EmilyLove25 The closer I get to TTC the slower the CDs go! I was so impatient for AF to finally show this month. I can only imagine how it will feel when I'm really in the TTW for the first time. Ek. @MJDsquared Sorry to hear that you are coming up on a difficult "anniversary". My grandma died on April first so that's a shitty day for me too. I'll drink all the wine with you from afar. @zamora_spin Sounds like a great start to a Friday! @loveinDC I read your update and I'm so happy to hear you are working towards a plan! @shortstack930 Hope you had a great lunch today! I love Ihop. @KatieEl What are the two of you disagreeing on? You want to move right? @BreezyBee Garlic fries @kiki75 No coffee?! Luckily I have cut down to mostly only weekends. I drink tea M-F. Also, way to go for 3AM HIO!
Haha I looked at that list! The one from this morning was my own.

@JJMNO1616 yeah, I'm ready to move (I think) and he thinks the issues we're having with our current house can be worked through. Part of me hopes he's right, I LOVE our neighborhood, and part of me is ready for a giant new house.

Just want to say I have been lurking again the last few days because I find it so encouraging! So wanted to take some time today to contribute.
Month/Cycle: 18/18
CD: 12 see R/R
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, PNV, CM, preseed, pineapple
R/R: Solid happy face showed up super early this month, (usually is CD 14-16) but RE had been saying an earlier O day might be good for us. Fingers crossed it is a good sign although we didn't get to bd as much as we planned up to O day. Will hang out here another day then head over to TWW
CS/Q: None
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, my H always says I could sleep anywhere, even in a noisy cafe.
