WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPK, CM, CP, PNV, preseed (hopefully coming today), eating healthy and trying to lose some weight (haha that one’s going well…).
R/R: Well I expected a positive OPK this morning due to EWCM for the last two days but nope, maybe tomorrow. We watched Deadpool last night and it was awesome! I expected it to be this super hero movie but it’s not and it’s hilarious.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Stolen from TWW - How do you feel about astrology? Does your own astrological sign fit your personality? I don’t really follow astrology. Every once and awhile I’ll look at my horoscope for fun but that’s about it. I’m a Scorpio and I don’t think it fits me very well, there’s only a couple of the things that are like me. When I googled Scorpio, a website came up and the body parts related to the sign are the crotch and reproductive organs… interesting. Not sure what that means but hopefully it’s a good thing?

R/R: This last AF kicked my butt, my back still hurts hopefully it go`s away soon.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: Stolen from TWW - How do you feel about astrology? Does your own astrological sign fit your personality? Good question my birthday seems to fall in between so sometimes I`m a Libra and sometimes I`m a Scorpio they both seem pretty different so I`m probably more like a Libra
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: bbt, opk, preseed, EOD sex
R/R: My temperature takes a long time to go down for some reason which is why I normally start temping on CD 8. I took it today and it was still higher than usual pre-O temps so I won't put it in.
CS/Q: N/A
GTKY: Stolen from TWW - How do you feel about astrology? Does your own astrological sign fit your personality?
I actually love astrology and I think it applies to people very well. I also read a book in high school, I think it was called the dark side zodiac or something like that, and it explained the negative traits associated with each sign. I don't let astrology make decisions for me, though, and I don't follow it day-to-day.
@Stargazer1lily Sorry about your back. Hope it goes away!
@charlestonchew Yeah I don't temp during AF either. Any day I can justify not temping, I won't.
Month/Cycle: 14/12
CD: 40
WAYDTGKU: sex, bbt, cm, opks, folate, baby aspirin, waiting and waiting for this cycle to get going so I can start treatment
R/R: Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday! We had fancy wine and going on a hike on the coast today and not eating anything on my diet really until Monday.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Stolen from TWW - How do you feel about astrology? Does your own astrological sign fit your personality? I'm a Taurus. It's true that I am a bit earthy and stubborn, but I don't pay too much attention to astrology. My sister is super into it though. She's all like "Mercury Retrograde is finally over--now you'll definitely get KU!" Uh, yeah, whatever.
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Tracking cycle, vitamins
R/R: My business is picking up which is good because I lost yet another part-time nanny position due to the parents changing their mind about work.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Stolen from TWW - How do you feel about astrology? Does your own astrological sign fit your personality? I personally don't believe in it. My sign doesn't ever seem to suit me. I'm a much bigger believer in the 50/50 split of nature and nurture shaping who you become.
@justkeepswimming8 I actually really enjoyed Deadpool as well! It's super funny. Sorry about your negative OPK.
@Stargazer1lily Have you tried Clary Sage oil? I have killer AF symptoms and was skeptical of how effective it would be for aches but it really has helped me!
@vflux33 That sounds like a lovely birthday!
CD: 19
WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R: it's gloomy again here
CS/Q: temp still up today, so one more day hopefully before I move over to TWW
GTKY: Stolen from TWW - How do you feel about astrology? Does your own astrological sign fit your personality? Soooo confession: I do astrology charts. Not horoscopes! Horoscopes are legit bullshit. I know people have negative feelings about astrology, but I've literally done probably 500 charts, and they're always accurate. I think of it just as a way to impersonally evaluate your personality traits and identify things to improve upon. It's just another language to use to describe yourself. It won't predict how many kids you'll have or what your job will be or anything else. It will just say things like, "You feel most insecure about ___" etc. And it's impossible to do that from just looking at your sun sign. For me, based on my entire chart, aquarius plays a much larger role, but I am a leo.
ETA: if anyone wants a free astrology chart, PM me, but note I will need a lot of info about you
ETA pt2: I need your birthday (including year), exact birth time, birth city/state, and ideally your full name for some numerology stuff, but I can show you how it works and you can give me the totals if you're uncomfortable with sharing your full name with an internet stranger.
@vflux33 So glad to hear you are enjoying your Birthday weekend

R/R: I have a hangover from my enthusiastic wine drinking last night. Womp womp womp.
I'm cleaning today like mad because my mom, grandma, and sister are coming and staying the night tonight. I haven't seen them since Christmas. I'm nervous because my mom usually brings drama with her. I'm hoping it will just be chill.
I got another high temp today. Hoping same happens tomorrow and I get those CHs, even though I think timing was moot this cycle anyways.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Stolen from TWW - How do you feel about astrology? Does your own astrological sign fit your personality?
I don't know too much about it other than that cancers (me and DH both) are emotional and don't always work well together in a romantic relationship. I am certainly an emotional person, but I've found that second part to be false, at least for us.
working out.
@kbamomma33 I love the "enthusiastic wine drinking." Your my type of person!!
@doxiemoxie212 I'm also curious as to what information you would need.

WAYDTGKU: The normal stuff we always do and then we have been seeing an RE.
GTKY: I don't read my horoscope ever. But I am definitely all Libra!
@kbamomma33 I hope you get your CHs!
@Redpuma119 I saw your post in the IF thread--sorry you are on that path too
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: getting a pedicure and manicure and eating a coffee roll and drinking a latte. Because if I stay in my house I'll lose it. Then i wont have a husband and it will be extra hard to get KU. But also, first IUI this month, scary amounts of hope going into that
R/R: my husband and I were going to go to a winery because I was sure CD 1 would be tomorrow or Monday but between feeling yucky, his work and yucky weather we are postponing
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: Stolen from TWW - How do you feel about astrology? Does your own astrological sign fit your personality?
I'm a Pisces. I fit a lot of the water sign elements but am not super creative. I love reading horoscopes for fun though
@doxiemoxie212 I may take you up on a chart! That is a very sweet offer
@Redpuma119 echo what vflux33 says. Sorry to see you on the IF thread
@justkeepswimming8 hope the opk turns soon!
@kbamomma33 hope you are as drama free as possible this weekend. If not.. vigorously drinking with each sounds good
@Stargazer1lily sorry for the cramps and workout combo. That's the worst
@vflux33 happy belated birthday! Your night sounds lovely
@charlestonchew that book sounds fascinating, I have to look it up!
@SkilledSailor sorry about the nanny job but awesome about your business! Hope it continues to go well

@Stargazer1lily sorry AF was rough this cycle.
@charlestonchew that book sounds interesting!
@vflux33 happy belated birthday! Glad you had a great time!
@SkilledSailor sorry about your work situation. How many nanny jobs do you have?
@doxiemoxie212 that's so cool that you do charts!
@kbamomma33 hope your mom doesn't bring too much drama and the visit goes well!
@Redpuma119 sorry you're joining the IF thread but hopefully the RE will help.
@WillRunForWine21 so sorry for CD1. This is my first IUI cycle also, hopefully it goes well for both of us!
Month/Cycle: 18/18
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: Clomid + Ovidrel trigger + IUI
R/R: I'm starting the Clomid today and I'm a little nervous about possible side effects. I had to go for an estrogen draw at the RE yesterday at 7am which thoroughly ruined me for the rest of the day because I had to work 6:30pm-7am on almost no sleep (just a nap during the day) and I felt like crap by the time I got home this morning.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: Stolen from TWW - How do you feel about astrology? Does your own astrological sign fit your personality?
I like astrology! I don't follow it daily but I definitely fit most of the Libra descriptions--I totally play peacemaker all the time.

Good luck with your Clomid. I'll be honest, I don't know much about that process yet but I have my fingers crossed that you won't have bad side effects and that you get lots of rest today!
@WillRunForWine21 Sorry about your winery postponement. I would be super bummed about that. Do you have good wine on hand to enjoy from the comfort of your PJs?
Update! Preseed just arrived! Thank God because I’m having major O pains despite a negative OPK this morning.
@charlestonchew – Hopefully tomorrow your temps will be back to normal
@vflux33 – FX that you get your positive OPK soon! You deserve a diet free birthday weekend. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
@skilledsailor – sorry about work problems. FX you find another nannying job soon.
@doxiemoxie212 – FX for a high temp tomorrow!
@kbamomma33 – have a good time with your family. FX that there is no drama.
@redpuma119 – sorry to hear about you having to see an RE. FX that y’all get answers soon!
@willrunforwine21 – so sorry about CD1! Creepy internet hugs!
@shortstack930 – GL with Clomid and sorry you’re feeling like crap!

@shortstack930 I'm going to be starting Clomid for my IUI in a few weeks too... I'm worried too--I've heard such a variety of side effect issues. FWIW my mom took Clomid back in the 70s and she said her side effects only got bad after a few months and that her first month or 2 it wasn't significant. Hope yours aren't too bad!
AFM Guess who got to cancel her reservation at Cafe Noppolito's this evening!
You guys, I seriously forgot what a positive OPK looked like. I had to recheck the instructions and then screamed like a giddy child as I told MH. Anyway, will stick around till CHs!

CS/Q: I don't sleep through the night, ever. I have temped before, and it worked well and was accurate. I worry about temping now that my sleep is worse. Is it better to do a vaginal temp?

Ehhh, I just don't see how people all born in the same time frame are similar. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a way
