R/R: DH got in my nerves last night. And my throat hurts so much right now and I don't know if it's allergies or another friggin cold.
CS/Q: maybe tomorrow
GTKY: No lucky ones that I'm aware of, but my favorite ones are a blush pink pair of Jockey briefs. They are so soft and and comfy and they are seamless so I can wear them under anything!
Me: 29 | DH: 29
Married 12/2016 DSS born 01/2016 TTC since 01/2017 Letrozole + TI = BFP 01/30/2018 | EDD 10/11/2018
R/R: **TW** I'm in the waiting room right now. My Bff is about to have her baby in 15 mins so we're about to go in the viewing room!! I'm so excited!! (But here's the selfish sad part--the last time I was here was for my methotrexate shot so bad memories. Plus we were supposed to be pregnant together and I'm struggling some). But I can't wait to snuggle the baby!!
CS/Q: opks are looking closer but I had a huge temp drop today. I don't think it's an O dip because I usually have a few days of + OPK before I O so who knows.
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? Nope
*TW** I baked some lactation cookies for her. I had her goodie bag on the floor. Just looked and ants got all in them!! There's a line of ants on the lobby floor. I'm so pissed!! My bag was covered in them!!! Lucky I froze half a batch of dough but I'm so upset. * end TW**
P&G real quick this morning, ladies. I am meeting with the doc later this morning to go over my BW and map out a way forward. FX for me!
Month/Cycle: 6/4

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for AF to leave (which, despite the 82 day cycle seems to be on her way out), hopefully I'll have more to put here after my appointment!
R/R: So I didn't have a voice all weekend. I'm someone who was always sick as a child, so now I am immune to nearly all strands of the common cold. I never get sick unless it's an infection, and never from anything I caught from someone else (even DH). DH and I call me Typhoid Mary because I carry a lot of things without it affecting me. Anywho, I guess I grabbed something from bunco night on Thursday. I felt physically fine, but my voice just disappeared. Lo and behold DH now has a full on cold and is completely helpless. Sigh.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Hm, I do like my cheeksters more than my other styles. And I guess mentally I always referred to my green pair as "lucky"? Never really thought about it before...
@morado23 does it help if you load up on vitamin c? My boss swears by that stuff @RVAmom315 terrible timing for CD1, that really stinks! I flew home on CD2 so I know your pain! @purplg8r Have fun today, that sounds really awesome minus the part about the ants eating your cookies. Thank goodness you have some in the freezer. I'd be pissed too!

all my different varieties of "beige and skin colored" panties are my favorites. It's damn hard to find stuff you can wear under white shorts/pants etc.
@purplg8r That sucks about the ants but so glad you have more dough. How exciting about the new baby, but I understand the emotions surrounding it. All the hugs!
@morado23 hope you feel better soon... both alergies and being sick suck

CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? My fav is totally black hip huggers from Vickies, with thick lace on the top. So freaking comfy, but also sexy! Double awesome!
Me: 29 DH: 33 Married April 1st 2017 DS #1: May 2009 DS #2: Jan 2012
@purplg8r Oh no! I'm so sorry about the cookies. Picturing a line of ants in the hospital did make me giggle though. @LoveinDC FX you get answers and a plan at your appt today @morado23 Sorry you're not feeling well.

#1: TW for murder
There is a
sicko running around the city of Cleveland that killed a man yesterday on
Facebook live. The fact that someone
like that not only exists, but is in my city, scares the hell out of me. I hope the police catch him soon!
Rant #2: When
I got to my parent’s yesterday, my oldest sister made sure to let me know that
it has been 3 months since I called her last (Jan 4th) and when I did, I needed
something. I made sure to remind her
that it works both ways and she could pick up the phone and call me too
Rave #1: DH
made lamb for Easter yesterday and it was AMAZING! Everyone loved it and even my nieces who are
notoriously picky eaters enjoyed it!
Thankfully he cooked it at our house after church then we took it over. Which leads me to…
Rave #2: While
we were waiting for the lamb to cook, we were able to do a little spelunking
and immediately before, I checked and found a nice, glorious glob of
EWCM!!!!!
CS/Q:
nope
GTKY: Do you
have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? Not a favorite pair but I
have a couple of extra sexy pairs that I’ll wear on occasion for DH

Yesterday it was AS dark as the control line, which made me super pumped, and today it was even darker! I've never had a "blaring" positive OPK!!! Haha who would have thought one could get so excited and happy about OPKs? Good job, little ovaries!

@RVAmom315 nope, not in the south, but Southern Wisconsin Digging posts for our blackberry trellis this weekend, we found that after about a foot of clay + soil, it's SOLID gray clay. I was joking to DH about digging some up and making my own pottery. Realizing now that I have taken for granted the decades of work that my dad put into his gardens soil!

@purplg8r bittersweet. I hope you're ok today...enjoy the baby snuggles. They're the best!! And WTF ants! We just had ants in our house yesterday. I'm not happy!
@LoveInDC good luck at your appt today! And I hope the hubs is feeling better. Nothing is worse than a man with a cold!
@lulu1180 I read about that last night on FB. Makes me effing sick!!! I hope they catch him, what an animal also, yay for good timing and what sounds like a delicious dinner!!
@starla yaaaaaaay for the positive OPK! And adult naptime is a good one!
Month/Cycle: 10/11
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: the typical shit
R/R: this weekend was amazing! We just had such a great time Saturday and easter with our family yesterday. Got the timing I wanted for this weekend as well. Had a positive OPK last night (took one in the morning and I knew it'd be positive at night so I took one to confirm) and another positive this morning. So hopefully the hubs is up for another round tonight so I can add another day to the timing I'd like to accomplish this month. Kind of a rant... I need to go for more bloodwork on Friday....apparently my progesterone levels were a bit low so my re-do will have to be Friday on CD21
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? hmmm I don't. Favorite is just my usual vicky's thong...the ones with the thick lace band. So comfy
@50Wife I would confirm if they want to check progesterone on CD21 or 7DPO. I'm guessing it's the latter because if it's CD21 then the levels may seem a little low if O was less than a week before

R/R: We had a really bad hail storm a few weeks ago and we finally got the insurance adjuster out to see if we qualify for a new roof before we left for our weekend trip on Friday. We do! Brand new roof for the cost of our deductible. If we end up selling in a few years (doubtful but always a possibility) the roof will be a huge feature.
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? Probably TMI but nope, don't wear any.
@morado23 - Boo for a sore throat! Hopefully it's not a cold. @RVAmom315 - Sorry for CD1 but congratulations on the weight loss! @purplg8r - That stinks about the ants! @lulu1180 - That is so freaking scary! People are crazy. @starla - yay for a +OPK!

Off to TWW after such a crazy cycle. This board helped so much. See you all there soon! starla YAY for a SERIOUSLY positive OPK. I totally know the feeling! It's great!
WAYDTGKU: HIO as much as possible, OPKs, PNV,
probably going to get some preseed in there too. Also, as a reminder from @RVAmom315
I need to start eating better and lose some weight.
R/R: In Texas seeing my family still. Today, one
sister went back to college, one has an all day interview and both parents are
working so on my own this morning. I get to hang out with my aunt and paddle board on the lake with her
today. Dad has strep the first couple of days I was here so now I don’t get to
see my nephew all week just in case he gave it to me.
CS/Q: Nah
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of
underwear? I have a favorite type of underwear. I don’t know the brand at the
moment but they are from Macy’s. They are very soft and comfortable.
@morado23 – sorry you are feeling sick. Seems like
the same things is going around in my family as well.
@RVAmom315 – sorry about CD 1 but good job at
losing weight!
@purplg8r – yay for baby! Boo about ants! Enjoy
the snuggles
@kariann323 – When I worked at an office job, I
hated the days in which it was really nice out and I was stuck inside all day.
Hopefully you’ll get to go outside after work.
@lulu1180 – yay for EWCM! My family does the
same thing about calling them. It’s like it’s my responsibility to contact them
when they are the more busy ones.
@lulu1180 I'll bring it up to them. She said she wanted to redo my cd21-23 work but I'll confirm when I call for the prescription and see if they should check at a different part of my cycle. Thank you!

Rant: *TW* I'm feeling pretty down this morning between some unexpected Easter facebook pregnancy announcements, and all the seriously messed up things that @lulu1180 mentioned that happened here (in Cleveland) yesterday. I taught two of the victim's sons, so the whole thing has been shocking for us, and absolutely horrible for those two boys. *End TW*
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? Not really, as long as they're cute and comfy.
@morado23 I hope you aren't coming down with a cold! @RVAmom315 Sorry for CD1, but congrats on your weight loss! @purplg8r FX for O soon! Enjoy your baby snuggles, even though there's probably a lot of mixed emotions happening for you today. @LoveInDC FX so hard for you! I hope you get some answers today! @cdnrunning That's something to look forward to! @lulu1180 That lamb sounds delicious! @starla Yay for the positive OPK!! @50Wife Glad you had a nice weekend! @gusgus14 Yay for your new roof!
@RVAmom315 - Ugh, sorry for the long drive in CD1! @purplg8r - I hope everything goes well with your BFF! So sorry that the ants attacked! @LoveInDC - Please keep us updated on what the doc says! I lol'd at you being Typhoid Mary... Sorry that YH has a man cold! @cdnrunning - I kinda slacked off on the vit C because it seemed like cold season was pretty much over. I'm definitely upping my intake now and taking all the OTC drugs. Have you ever been to Hawaii? @AliW220 - I grew up in So Missouri and we had lots of clay and rocks. Very hard to work with! @lulu1180 - That whole FB live thing is crazy! Stay safe, friend! Are you able to tell DH about the EWCM? Any time I mention CM of any sort, MH gets all weird and squirmy. @50Wife - I gave up on thongs long ago! I hate them! The only reason I ever wear them anymore is before GDTPT. @justkeepswimming8 - So glad your trip to visit family is going well! When will you be back?

WAYDTGKU: the usual. I have about 8 days of boring WTO before anything remotely interesting like peeing on sticks.
R/R: It's a very Mondayish Monday. I left the house this morning without finishing my makeup. Like I was driving to work and realized I'd forgotten mascara and blush, which makes me look half asleep and sickly, so I drove back to my house to remedy this. I wouldn't care except for I have two meetings today and don't want to look unkempt.
CS/Q: haha, no.
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? I have favorite pairs, but it's only because they're comfy. It's been a while since i whipped out a sexy pair for funsies.

CS/Q: nope
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? Not really... I have some favourite for comfort, but like @lund-3 it's been a while since I've pulled out any for sexy time
WAYDTGKU: night moves and other scientifically based things
R/R: ***TW: found out over the weekend that my SIL is pregnant. It is such a bag of mixed emotions. My first reaction was anxiety for them, they've had several losses, she's never made it out of the first tri, so they are struggling to even be excited. Then I'm over here crying bc I'm jealous and then I feel like a jerk for feeling jealous because I know how stressful this is for them, but I want it so badly. DH texted me while I was at work and told me. I managed to hold myself together until I got home and then I just cried. Poor guy, he was so confused, so then I had to explain why I was crying. Then I start all of the "what if" thinking- what if it happens for us and they have another loss, I will feel terrible. It's a big emotional mess. end TW***
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? not really. I have several that I prefer over others, I've actually been trying to find some new ones, but at this point I haven't found anything I really like so I have a bunch of random ones that I don't really like and wear when i'm behind on laundry.

@Avrilmai haha, I probably should've mentioned that I was only about 1/2 mile from my house when I realized it an turned around. Also, my work is only about 3 miles from my house. And, sorry for the tough TTC day *hugs* This whole TTC journey can be so rough.
OMG! Okay, too many comments to follow up on. I am reading through and LTing as I can. Thank you all for the support and love. Hugs to the few of you having a rough go today.
I had a good appointment! I'm starting a medicated cycle next go-around, and I'm allowed to use Provera starting any CD35, so goodbye 3 month cycles. On the negative side, my testosterone levels are so out of control, I'll have to be on BCP for the rest of my childbearing years when not TTC. My BW also showed a fatty liver enzyme that foreshadows IR later in my life, so I'll have to alter my diet and physical activity now to get ahead of it the best I can. I posted more in the IF/Testing thread, but I wanted to fill you all in real quick. Thanks again for being the most awesome bunch of girls I know
@Avrilmai I know how tough TTC can be. It sounds like you're going through a lot of emotions with your own journey and being a bit envious and worried about your SIL at the same time. For me, I have found that it helps to remind myself that this journey is your and DH's alone. Someone else getting PG will not affect your own abilities to get PG. There are enough babies to go around. You can't control whether she has another loss or what happens... All you can do is be healthy and do everything in your power (time BD in your FW, etc.) to get KTFU yourself. I really hope that this all ends well and that you both end up with happy healthy babies.

Rave #1: DH made lamb for Easter yesterday and it was AMAZING! Everyone loved it and even my nieces who are notoriously picky eaters enjoyed it! Thankfully he cooked it at our house after church then we took it over. Which leads me to…
Rave #2: While we were waiting for the lamb to cook, we were able to do a little spelunking and immediately before, I checked and found a nice, glorious glob of EWCM!!!!!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? Not a favorite pair but I have a couple of extra sexy pairs that I’ll wear on occasion for DH

@LoveInDC good luck at your appt today! And I hope the hubs is feeling better. Nothing is worse than a man with a cold!

R/R: this weekend was amazing! We just had such a great time Saturday and easter with our family yesterday.
Got the timing I wanted for this weekend as well. Had a positive OPK last night (took one in the morning and I knew it'd be positive at night so I took one to confirm) and another positive this morning. So hopefully the hubs is up for another round tonight so I can add another day to the timing I'd like to accomplish this month.
Kind of a rant... I need to go for more bloodwork on Friday....apparently my progesterone levels were a bit low so my re-do will have to be Friday on CD21
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear?
hmmm I don't. Favorite is just my usual vicky's thong...the ones with the thick lace band. So comfy

Brand new roof for the cost of our deductible. If we end up selling in a few years (doubtful but always a possibility) the roof will be a huge feature.

R/R: In Texas seeing my family still. Today, one sister went back to college, one has an all day interview and both parents are working so on my own this morning. I get to hang out with my aunt and paddle board on the lake with her today. Dad has strep the first couple of days I was here so now I don’t get to see my nephew all week just in case he gave it to me.
CS/Q: Nah
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? I have a favorite type of underwear. I don’t know the brand at the moment but they are from Macy’s. They are very soft and comfortable.
@morado23 – sorry you are feeling sick. Seems like the same things is going around in my family as well.
@RVAmom315 – sorry about CD 1 but good job at losing weight!
@purplg8r – yay for baby! Boo about ants! Enjoy the snuggles
@loveindc – FX for a good Dr. Appointment.
@cdnrunning – fun for Hawaii! I loved it when I went the one time and I’d love to go again.
@AliW220 – comfy AND sexy? Those are the best!
@kariann323 – When I worked at an office job, I hated the days in which it was really nice out and I was stuck inside all day. Hopefully you’ll get to go outside after work.
@lulu1180 – yay for EWCM! My family does the same thing about calling them. It’s like it’s my responsibility to contact them when they are the more busy ones.

I taught two of the victim's sons, so the whole thing has been shocking for us, and absolutely horrible for those two boys. *End TW*
CS/Q: Nope

@morado23 I hope you aren't coming down with a cold!

@purplg8r FX for O soon! Enjoy your baby snuggles, even though there's probably a lot of mixed emotions happening for you today.

@cdnrunning - I kinda slacked off on the vit C because it seemed like cold season was pretty much over. I'm definitely upping my intake now and taking all the OTC drugs. Have you ever been to Hawaii?
@AliW220 - I grew up in So Missouri and we had lots of clay and rocks. Very hard to work with!
@lulu1180 - That whole FB live thing is crazy! Stay safe, friend! Are you able to tell DH about the EWCM? Any time I mention CM of any sort, MH gets all weird and squirmy.
@50Wife - I gave up on thongs long ago! I hate them! The only reason I ever wear them anymore is before GDTPT.
@justkeepswimming8 - So glad your trip to visit family is going well! When will you be back?

R/R: It's a very Mondayish Monday. I left the house this morning without finishing my makeup. Like I was driving to work and realized I'd forgotten mascara and blush, which makes me look half asleep and sickly, so I drove back to my house to remedy this. I wouldn't care except for I have two meetings today and don't want to look unkempt.
CS/Q: haha, no.
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? I have favorite pairs, but it's only because they're comfy. It's been a while since i whipped out a sexy pair for funsies.
@purplg8r enjoy snuggling that babe!
@LoveInDC sorry for the cold and man-cold, but GL with the appointment!

R/R: ***TW: found out over the weekend that my SIL is pregnant. It is such a bag of mixed emotions. My first reaction was anxiety for them, they've had several losses, she's never made it out of the first tri, so they are struggling to even be excited. Then I'm over here crying bc I'm jealous and then I feel like a jerk for feeling jealous because I know how stressful this is for them, but I want it so badly. DH texted me while I was at work and told me. I managed to hold myself together until I got home and then I just cried. Poor guy, he was so confused, so then I had to explain why I was crying. Then I start all of the "what if" thinking- what if it happens for us and they have another loss, I will feel terrible. It's a big emotional mess. end TW***
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear? not really. I have several that I prefer over others, I've actually been trying to find some new ones, but at this point I haven't found anything I really like so I have a bunch of random ones that I don't really like and wear when i'm behind on laundry.

"Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks,
some doors are open, some roads are blocked"
I had a good appointment! I'm starting a medicated cycle next go-around, and I'm allowed to use Provera starting any CD35, so goodbye 3 month cycles. On the negative side, my testosterone levels are so out of control, I'll have to be on BCP for the rest of my childbearing years when not TTC. My BW also showed a fatty liver enzyme that foreshadows IR later in my life, so I'll have to alter my diet and physical activity now to get ahead of it the best I can. I posted more in the IF/Testing thread, but I wanted to fill you all in real quick. Thanks again for being the most awesome bunch of girls I know
