Re: WTO Wed 5/3
CD: 41
WAYDTGKU: benched, PNVs, CoQ10
R/R: I got a temp spike!! Now let's hope it stays up!!
CS/Q: if I finally get CH in a few days, does anyone mind if I move over to TWW even if I'm not truly waiting to see if anything happened? (I'be been in WTO for 101 days!).
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time? I'm all three. If it's for an appt, event, or meeting someone I'm not close to then I'm early. Close friends & family, I'm right on time. If I'm with H, we're usually about 5 mins late
CD: -1ish
WAYDTGKU: WFAF right now
R/R: Even though I was pretty sure this was coming, it still sucked this morning seeing my temp drop below my coverline. I threw myself a little pity party yesterday after the temp dropped to the coverline (hence why I didn't post cuz I was a bit of a downer) so now I'm just waiting for AF to show up, which should be tomorrow. I'll decide then exactly how much I want to do this cycle.
Also, something that made me giggle a little on my drive in. One of the other cars had a vanity plate that read "CATBERT." I'm assuming the woman that was driving is in HR. If you get this reference, you're awesome!
CS/Q: no
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time? It depends on what it is. For work, I'm almost always early. For family events, I usually run just a bit late but I like to blame that on DH because he tends to take his time getting ready

@lulu1180 ugh sorry to see you on this side. I had a pity party this month for like 3 days. This shit sucks.
Month/Cycle: 11/12
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: temping, pnv, OPKs. All the usual stuff. Going to do green tea and pineapple a bit later in my cycle
R/R: hump daaayyyyyyy. The weather is gorgeous out. And I'll be at my desk all day. Womp womp
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time?
If I'm by myself: early/on time.
If I'm with my husband: late. Even though he gets himself ready and I get myself and a 2 year old ready. I still manage to have to wait for him every time.
@lulu1180, that license plate would have made me smile too. Sorry about CD1, though!

R/R: We're doing an International Fiction Genre Study at work today where we all report on a book we've read in that category. The idea is to be better able to make recommendations to library patrons. We get snacks too, so it's a pretty good day to start the workday!
CS/Q: No.
GTKY: Definitely early. I've had to train myself to stop leaving so early for parties because I used to always be the first one there while the host was still rushing around getting ready! I also hate getting to the movies any later than about 5 minutes before the previews start.
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Meh, probably nothing this month. We are going on vacation and banging when we want and I am monitoring nothing
R/R: I have my RE consult today to go over results!
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time? 5 minutes early, always.
@lulu1180 so many hugs for being back here

WAYDTGKU: everything minus temping
R/R: I brought back a few small bags of coffee from Kona, Hawaii. Unfortunately, the two times I've used it in my fill-your-own kcup for my keurig, it was very watery and grounds got in my coffee. I'm thinking I overfilled the kcup and it's causing it to come out the top. Considering buying a small fence press. Anyone have experience with those??
CS/Q: moving over to TWW tomorrow!
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time?

As far as the k-cups...depending on how fine (or not fine?) the coffee is ground, sometimes it does that. In my experience, you'd be best off buying a French press bc that brand will never brew right in your keurig.
What kind of coffee is it? My brother and sister in law brought me coffee from Hawaii. Can't remember the name except it had the word Ass in it.

R/R: Feeling good so far today. Only two more days of work, and then I am heading to VA to spend the weekend with my family. Also, I really do just want to say thank you to everyone for your kind words over the past few days. No one IRL knows about what happened, so it has been such a relief to have somewhere to go where I do not have to try to put on a happy face like everything is fine. Thank you again for all the love and support you have given me
CS/Q: --
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time? I am usually always early, with the exception being if I am going to some sort of social occasion on my own. In that case I have to get there early, and then sit and creepily wait in my car, stalking the parking lot until I see someone that I know show up. Hooray anxiety!!

Andplusalso after almost 8 months with no work H has an interview today!! Hopefully it goes well
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time? Also early. Like... almost too early. I was always late as a kid and it was embarrassing so I made the decision when I was like, 9 that when I had a car and was responsible for getting myself places I would be early.

GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time?
I am so early it drives my DH crazy. Being late is one of my pet peeves so I'm always super early and end up spending a lot of time in my car on my phone waiting lol.
@lulu1180 all the sorries for CD1. Wine and chocolate for you.

WAYDTGKU: HIO, BBT, PNV, tracking CM, teas, pomegranate juice, progesterone after O.
R/R: picking up my SIL land niece at the airport today! I'm actually pretty excited to see them.
CS/Q: my temps took a nose dive this morning. Not sure what it means, although in some of my earlier cycles I would see my temp lowering about a week out before O, which kind of sounds right based in when I usually O. But I also broke down and took a Benadryl last night because I couldn't handle my itchy throat anymore. Anyone know if that can affect temps? I imagine lowering my immune response would lower temps, but want sure if that was observable in BBTs.
GTKY: I used to always be early. Now I still usually am, but an getting better at being right on time.

R/R: Sorry I was out for a few days, my household all had strep. I had my HSG on Monday and everything looks good. I am glad my Dr. let me do it before the one year mark as that was always in the back of mind that there was something wrong. So, now we just keep doing what we are doing. **TW** Also, when I went in to get tested for strep the nurse saw I had been in for a pregnancy test as it was required before my HSG, and she go excited and said congrats. When I told her I wasn't but TTC, she said well hopefully you have my luck where my DH just had to look at me...........I am surprised I was able to just smile through that. She was so nice and I know she didn't mean anything by it, but it was still not something I really wanted to hear that day. **TW**
Rant - I was talking with my director and deciding next steps of what I wanted to do with my career and was thinking about getting my PMP certification or my masters certificate in PM. Well when he found out the cost of the classes he instantly poo-pooed on my parade. I know it is expensive, but was someething I was looking forward to. He just doesn't understand why I would spend money on something when I can already do my job.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time? Depends on what it is.
@purplg8r FX your temp stays up.
@lulu1180 Sorry for the temp drop.
@rvamom315 yay for good timing.
@50wife My husband is the one that is always waiting on me and usually ends up having to get our 2 year old ready. though I still have to check he is truly ready because he tends to forget things like diapers or coats.
@augusta108 Enjoy your snacks.
@kiwi2628 Good luck at your appointment today.
@bertiemeetsgertie While I dont drink coffee, I still remember how amazing the coffee smelt in Hawaii when we were there.
@pinky917 Hope these next two days go by fast for you.
@kariann323 Yay temp spike! I know how you feel about being done HIO, we haven't even started yet this month and I am having to rev myself up for it.
@dilynne Good luck to you DH at his interview.
@cricket648 Good luck at your appt. tomorrow. I hope you get the Provera
@mispanda Looking at Insurance benefits doesn't sound that fun. At least to me since I find them quite confusing on what is covered. Hope you find what you are looking for.
@mschanandlerbong1214 Yay for your positive OPK. Have fun tonight.

WAYDTGKU: Just finished my letrozole this morning. Temping and checking cm. Monday I have an ultrasound. Then it's trigger shot time.
R/R: I've been short of breath and wheezing for awhile now. It's weird. I had asthma as a kid, but I haven't had any since I was like 9. So it's weird. Thinking I may need to make a doctor appointment and see what's up.
CS/Q: My chart is doing something weird (for me.) It's such a downward curve. Wanna see? <a href="https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/60e8fc">My Ovulation Chart</a>
GTKY: I am usually early. I like to leave with enough time that if something happens I still won't be late. However, I'm late nowadays since I spend so much time yelling at my husband to get ready. I swear it's like I already have a toddler.

@RVAmom315, theoretically one is all it takes!
@50wife, that's impressive that you can still manage to be early with a little one!
@augusta108, that sounds like a fun day at work!
@kiwi2628, good luck at the consult! And doing nothing but DTD sounds like a welcome change with you're vacation coming up.
@Pinky917, hope you have fun with your family! I'm glad you also found comfort here lately. I know what you mean about being able to let your hair down for once around here.
@KariAnn323, yay for temp spike, hope it stays up so you are if the hook!
@dilynne, glad you are starting to feel better. Good luck to YH!
@mispanda, ugh you just reminded me that last week I calculated that we could have saved $2000-3000 if we had split our insurance and just gone with our own employers. Somehow that thought never occurred to us, and the sad thing is that it isn't even a matter of hindsight is 20/20. Now we have to wait until open enrollment at the end of the year. Good thing we've already got our deductible this year
@heatherdubrow, congrats on the weight loss!

@Augusta108 That sounds like a great way to start the day! Enjoy!
@kiwi2628 GL at the appointment - keep us posted!
@BertieMeetsGertie French press is the best coffee, and it's super easy to make. The trick is knowing that there will always be a bit of grounds, so let it sit for a couple minutes after pressing it to let them settle, then pour slowly. The odd time I'd still get some in my cup, but it was never proper grounds, more like a bit of sediment, if that makes sense?
@Pinky917 Aww, big hugs girl! Have a great weekend with your family, and we're always here if you need us!
@KariAnn323 Yay for a temp spike! If you can, I'd give it one more go to get in the +1, or just in case it's a fake out
@Dilynne So glad you are making every effort to feel better! We've been watching Outlander, which is pretty good. So is the Blacklist, if you haven't watched that yet

WAYDTGKU: likely benched, but still... PNV, herbal tincture, myo-inositol, teas (green and raspberry leaf), EPO, CoQ10, essential oils, acupuncture, BBT/CM/CP charting, OPKs
R/R: My BM dress came in for my best friend's wedding this summer. She knew we were TTC, so picked an empire waist dress with straps (yay bra!). The other girls got theirs in Nov, but I waited until the beginning of Feb. I was really hoping I'd have a big baby bump by August, and wanted to wait until I was KU before getting sized. Obviously that didn't work, but when I went in, they got me to try it on with the fake bump, and I was able to wear the same size regardless. I'm so glad that I didn't have to size up, since even if I get KU next cycle I won't have much of a bump. I would have been devastated to have to get the dress altered because I'd bought it thinking I'd be KU and then am not. It's still a bit of a mind f*ck though.
CS/Q: Nope - heaps of creamy CM the past two days, but no O in sight
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time? I'm always early. It's almost a bit OCD. My best friend is always late, and even when I'd try to adjust to her time and be late when we would meet, I'd still end up early and then have to wait 15 minutes (5 for me being early, 10 for her being late)

R/R: My mom and step-father are almost certainly moving to my state later this year. They'll be living about 2.5 hours away, as opposed to a plane ride. TW ** The only downside is that they are moving only a few months after my sister has her first baby, which sucks for my sister as she assumed my mom would be there to help.** End TW
CS/Q: No questions, had positive OPKs last night and this morning. The unfortunate thing is that DH picked this week to start his new exercise regime and he's so tired and sore. We've BD'd 3 days in a row as of yesterday, and really ought to do it again tonight...
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time? I'm usually on time. If it's something like a party DH and I will try to get there about 10-15 minutes after the start time on purpose and we're still the first ones there in our friend group.

I'm happy but also feel guilty about it at the same time.
CS/Q: What do the acronyms FTM and STM stand for?
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time?
I'm always early... I hate being just on time and especially late for anything. I have two friends that are always late for everything and it drives me crazy. Growing up I had a band teacher that always said "To be early is to be on time and to be on time is to be late". I've always lived by that!
@purplg8r YAY for your temp spike! As someone who hung out in the dailies for 4 months while TTA I don't think anyone has a problem with you going over to TWW.
@lulu1180 So sorry to hear about your temp drop. Also, your siggy picture is sooo bad... as in just no.

@mschanandlerbong1214 YAY for +OPK!!
@labgrand2012 Glad to hear your results came back good! Sorry about that nurse though, that was certainly not helpful for you to hear.

@lulu1180 Sorry for your temp drop
@Augusta108 Your work's fiction genre study sounds really cool!
@kiwi2628 GL with your appointment!
@BertieMeetsGertie@mschanandlerbong1214 Yay for Oing!
@Pinky917 So sorry to see you back here
@Dilynne GL to YH!
@Cricket648 GL with your appointment!
@heatherdubrow Yay weight loss! I'm working toward that myself.
@labgrand2012 I'm sorry you had to deal with that. You'd think people who work in medicine would know not to make those kinds of hurtful assumptions...
@icecubeinthedesert Don't know about its effect on temps, but in my RE's sheet of restrictions it says to avoid Benadryl around O
@Sailing_Mama I had that same thing happen to me. My sister got married in December and because we started TTC in April 2016 I avoided getting the BM dress as long as possible because we were "sure" I'd be showing by then. Uh, nope! I ended up wearing the same dress I wore to her first wedding (she approved), which was kind of funny.
@zamora_spin That's so cool your family is moving closer! I hate flying to see family.
Cautiously posting here because I didn't start charting this cycle until 2 days ago, but my temps appear to be in pre-O range judging from previous cycles.
Month/Cycle: 14/12
CD: 23
WAYDTGKU: CM (which I'm realizing is super inaccurate for me), temping despite MH's protests, looks like we'll have this one more unmedicated/natural cycle before getting started on our treatments.
R/R: Glad to be off the bench and glad we get another chance to HIO naturally, I guess, but also kind of annoyed because I thought I had maybe O'd already this cycle. Looks like I'm in for another long one, which will delay treatment, but oh well not a big deal I guess.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time? I'm like you @RVAmom315! I have a fear of being late and now have developed a fear of being too early so I shoot for 5-10 minutes and then wait in my car pretending I'm right on time like a loser
eta to fix cycle/month count as I had them in reverse
@vflux33, that was my worry (I've heard it can delay O?), But I'm trying to limit it as much as possible. I only took one, not two, and only when really necessary. Did it say anything about other allergy meds? I imagine it's a general antihistamine effect, and therefore probably had something to do with CM quality as well.
@JJMNO1616 leaving your phone at work is the worst!
@pebbledam, Wow! That's impressive at this time in the morning! How did you get them in?
@zamora_spin, that's exciting about your mom moving closer (right?)!
@Sailing_Mama, that dress situation does sound both good and depressing at the same time.

@icecubeinthedesert You just reminded me this may be why I'm on a long cycle right now too--I've been sick and taking Benadryl a lot the last 2-3 weeks and forgot it mattered because I was benched until 2 days ago. Oops!
Anyway, yes it does say more: "For allergy relief, we recommend medications that are non-drowsy in form. Avoid Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Sudafed around ovulation. Claritin, Zyrtec, Allegra, and Nasonex are all fine." Again, this is just my doctor and others may differ, but this was typed on a general instructional sheet that was not personalized to my situation. Hope that helps!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: All the things. HIO, Essential Oils, PNV, OPKs, Temping, CP/CM, Pineapple after O and probably some tea at some point
R/R: I’m grumpy today. But I’m having a lunch date with the FI so hopefully that’ll make me a happy camper. And one of my apps I track in says I’m fertile right now, but I’m thinking it’s wrong and is basing it on my wonky first cycle timing. Good thing I’m temping. And I should really just stick to one app. I bought the VIP for FF because I just like it a lot. But it doesn’t give me a general fertile timeframe right now because my last cycle was wonky.
CS/Q: None.
GTKY: Are you usually early, late, or right on time?
Myself… LATE. LATE. LATE. Usually like 5 minutes, not like people in my family who are hours and hours late though, so I don’t really consider myself late because of that. Haha
When I’m going anywhere with my Fiancé, always crazy early. He gets antsy when he thinks we’re going to be late, which usually turns into a fight. Ugh. Even when it’s to things that are my things, it’s quite stressful. Haha. So when it comes to my things that we are attending I’m starting to give times that are later than they really are, because my things usually aren’t set scheduled events. Keeps the peace.
It’s a P&G day again today. Ugh, I’ll be back to comment later.
