R/R: Rant: I was tired and grumpy yesterday after work so DH said not to worry about anything he would take care of it. He didn't do any dishes or anything. Rave: Doing a 30 day Get Out challenge with some friends. Today's challenge is to spend at least 5 minutes barefoot outside.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?
You'd think I'd have an answer to my own question. Probably travel somewhere that is culturally different from where you live.

@LadyMillil sorry you're having a hard time with the progesterone. Good luck on the testing tomorrow!
Month/Cycle: 5
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing: Attempting to wait til 12 dpo on 6/9
R/R: Today is my birthday! I actually forgot for the first few hours I was awake lol.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?
This is a great question. I don't have a specific answer because everyone is different but I think everyone should do something spontaneous and take a risk at least once. Like take an unplanned trip somewhere you've always wanted to go, quit a job that you've hated for a long time, etc.
@LadyMillil OMG testing tomorrow!!! Fx for you!!!!
CD/DPO: 31/14
Timing: all the days
Testing: Saturday morning probably if af doesn't show (I have a 15-16 day LP)
R/R: spotting last night so who knows! TW, last time I spotted on 13 dpo when KU, and didn't turn a pos hpt until 16 dpo so I don't know. I guess I'm symptom stalking.
Mom and dog leave tomorrow - whomp. Yesterday was a bust because I got craaaazy vertigo for like 8 hours.
CS/Q: no
GTKY: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives? Leave the country.
Eta: clarity
@LadyMillil fx so hard for you tomorrow!!!!
@charlestonchew happy birthday!!! Hope you have a great day today!!
@doxiemoxie212 do you mean dpo instead of cd 13 and cd 16? Sorry for the vertigo!!
Month/Cycle: 17/17
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -4,-2, IUI
Testing: doc wants me to test tomorrow, idk we'll see
R/R: blah busy week! Woof!! Been super emotional and moody lately I'm sure it's from my meds for treatment I just hate feeling this way
CS/Q: none
GTKY: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?
studying abroad in college! Such a good experience!
@beachbunnyxo123 Crossing fingers and toes for you if you decide to test tomorrow!
Month/Cycle: 14/9
CD/DPO: 18/3
Timing: -4, -1,+1
Testing: Probably on 6/10, I'll be 12dpo. I'm going to try to refrain from touching a pee stick before then, but I start getting antsy around 9-10dpo.
R/R: I tested several times a day, starting at CD 10. I didn't actually get a *positive* OPK, but I think maybe it was the timing of when I did my tests. They got dark, but not as dark as the control. I continued testing for a few days, and each have been light- so now I'm wondering if I need a higher dose of letrozole and if I *actually* O'ed. I felt cramps on my left side a little bit before so, maybeeee?
I go in for a progesterone test on the 8th, maybe they'll be able to tell me something. It's just frustrating and I feel like TTC is testing my sanity.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?
Aerial yoga.
It is seriously the coolest thing ever.
CD/DPO: 16/4dpiui
Timing: iui
Testing: supposed to test 15 dpiui, but might do it one day before because it will be a Sunday.
R/R: I am not getting my usual temp shift, I think because of the trigger, going on progesterone tonight though so it will shift. I moved over here from wto because my mind has already shifted into tww mode.
CS/Q: googling ovidrel preventing temp shift, if you have had experience with it,
would love to hear. Does it matter?
GTKY: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives? I am with doxiemoxie212 on this one, travel abroad!
@beachbunnyxo123 are you opposed to testing tomorrow? Or just trying not to get hopes up?
@doxiemoxie212 SS is hard to avoid that late in LP. I have 15-16 day LPs too, I feel like it is extra days of mind torture.
@charlestonchew Happy Birthday!
@KariAnn323 that sounds like a great challenge!
@LadyMillil I hate taking progesterone even once a day, I can't imagine doing it every 8 hours. Fx it is all worth it when you test tomorrow!
CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: we boned around O, so there's that
Testing: tomorrow or Saturday
R/R:
Only when TTC do you have dreams about EWCM.
Sorry, total DD ahead.
DH decided to rearrange furniture yesterday evening. We have one big open living area/dining/kitchen space, so the living and dining spaces are interchangeable. DH likes to change up our living spaces once in while, I guess he gets bored.
Anywho, I was coloring my hair while he moved stuff around (point being he knew I had to do this and couldn't help him), and I come out of the bathroom and he's got the living area stuff all set up, and the dining room stuff just kinda heaped on the other side of the room in a big mess. And he's sitting on the couch watching TV. So I go about my business assuming that he would get back up and finish arranging the dining room.
He's pretty notorious for finishing projects to about 85% and then stopping. So, I mention the dining room to him, and he gets all huffy saying "what, were you going to sit at the dining table or something?"..... Um, not right this second but it'd be cool if half of our living space wasn't a mess and dining chairs weren't blocking our stairs. Anywho, apparently this was enough to put him in a pissy mood for the rest of the night. Male PMS is real, y'all!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives? Definitely travel out of the country and live in a different state than where you grew up.
_____________________________________
@KariAnn323 ugh, I think we need to clunk our DH's heads together.
@LadyMillil OMG SO EXCITED FOR TOMORROW. Sorry about the progesterone, though. This might be a dumb question, but is it a vaginal suppository, injection, or oral?
@charlestonchew Happy Birthday!!!
@doxiemoxie212 do you normally get vertigo?
@beachbunnyxo123 FX all the moodiness and emotions are for a very, very good reason!!!
@ramzlau I totally get the mental shift to TWW. Is this your first IUI???

@beachbunnyxo123 GL testing tomorrow!
@yayglitter I'm the same way about testing, and have even started on 8 DPO before
@ramzlau Sorry for the frustrating chart. I hope you get your temp shift soon.
CD/DPO: 23/4
Timing: -4,-2,O
Testing: I said I'm not going to, but I might cave and test on 6/11. DH was asking about it last night.
R/R: I have absolutely no motivation to be productive at work. It's not good. Also I need to find something to occupy my mind/time in this TWW or I'm going to drive myself crazy.
apologies to Tom Petty
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?
Leave their home country/state/city and experience a different culture.
-------------------------------------------------
@KariAnn323 that get out challenge sounds awesome. What other kinds of things have you done?
@LadyMillil AHHH, testing tomorrow- FX for you!
@charlestonchew happy birthday to you! (and i completely agree with your GTKY) What is something spontaneous you've done?
@doxiemoxie212 FX for you. Should we assume that if you ghost it is for a good reason?
@beachbunnyxo123 hoping the moodiness and being emotional is for the best reason. FX so hard for you.
@yayglitter hoping you get some answers soon. I really want to try aerial yoga.
@ramzlau I don't have answers, but I am sending you all of the positive vibes and well wishes. I think the mental shift to the TWW is a totally legit reason to start posting over here.
@lund seriously! to the male PMS. Why would it be okay to just leave half of the living space in disarray.

@beachbunnyxo123
@yayglitter What is aerial yoga?
@ramzlau Yes join us! Party in TWW!
@lund lol at "we boned around O, so there's that"
@Avrilmai Yeah, I make a lot of testing negotiations with myself before the TWW and then never stick to it.
Month/Cycle: 15/12
CD/DPO: 52/10
Timing: abstained then ED
Testing: I am now enjoying daily check-ins with Mr. Noperson because I'm no longer emotionally invested in each pee stick and can handle the daily disappointment in stride.
R/R: I finally have a phone date today/ free consult with a potential acupuncturist! I have been meaning to do this for awhile, so I'm excited.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives? I agree @KariAnn323, going to a place where you feel unfamiliar and don't understand the culture is super important, BUT in the end I'm siding with @lunds version about living in another state from where you grew up. It isn't convenient or even possible for some people, and I get that, but if it is possible, I think you learn a lot doing it and it's not the same as taking a vacation in another country.
I'll see your dream about ewcm and raise you several dreams about temping and entering data into ff lol
But who effing knows right? Like, sure, (tw) I spotted at 13dpo the time I was KU, but also every other cycle ever LOL. And my temps don't drop until day 2 of AF so it's anyone's guess!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 23/10
Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1, +1
Testing: Starting to get antsy but not until at least this weekend
R/R: Struggled so hard to get out of bed this morning… Even though it’s been a short week it feels effing long. Like how is it only Thursday? I’m so exhausted from the last two days that I’m seriously considering cancelling my Thursday afternoon with my nephew. Need a rave (trying to be more positive and grateful)… It looks like a nice day outside, I should go outside today.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Definitely on the travel abroad bandwagon. Like @beachbunnyxo123, I studied abroad in college and would highly recommend it. I would probably require it for my own children.
@kariann323 – ugh YH! That sux! MH will do similar things. This 30 day get out challenge sounds fun.
@ladymillil – FX so hard for you tomorrow!
@Charlestonchew – Happy Birthday!
@doxiemoxie212 – wow 15 -16 day LP is rough. FX that the spotting was a good sign!
@beachbunnyxo123 – FX for you tomorrow if you end up testing. Sorry about being emotional and moody, hopefully everything will work itself out soon.
@yayglitter – ugh sorry about your confusing OPKs. FX that you actually O’d. I’ll have to try ariel yoga. It does look fun!
@ramzlau – I got no advice on the temp shift dilemma but I hope that it’s just because of the medicine.
@lund – FX for you if you test tomorrow! Haha your dream about EWCM. Sorry about YH, that’s really frustrating.
@avrilmai – sorry about the lack of motivation but I am right there with you. TWW is just awful for that.
@vflux33 – so sorry about your BFNs. 10dpo is still super early! GL with your phone date today.Married: August 2014

It's basically yoga done in silk hammocks attached to the ceiling.
Being off the ground, it makes some yoga poses easier to do. It kinda gives off a Cirque du Soleil vibe and just makes the motions feel more graceful.
@yayglitter I'm not a huge yoga person, but that looks super cool!

IUI #2: May 2018
CD/DPO: 36/14
Timing: -1, 0
Testing: Yesterday, and BFN. So Idk.
R/R: I'm a little concerned I didn't ovulate when I thought I did. I did the trigger shot and put in my O day on FF the next day like I was told to. My temperature didn't rise until 3 days after that. I thought that it probably wasn't strange because I did a little research and it said temperatures mean nothing after the shot, it messes with them.
It's 14dpo and no AF, I took a test yesterday and it was negative. I know it's early for most people but I usually start 10 dpo. Or... well, "usually" isn't accurate. The only 2 times I ovulate it was that short. Anyways. I'm cramping like AF is supposed to be here, but usually right after I feel those cramps I got to the restroom and find her. If I didn't ovulate until CD 24 like my chart looks like then my timing was off and it's only 12 dpo.
I guess there's nothing to do but wait for her to show or not. But I'm frustrated with all this confusing stuff! XD

Besides pulling yourself up with the hammock into positions, there isn't really too much pressure on wrists. Definitely think it's worth a shot!
It's supposed to be easier on joints and people with various physical conditions are able to do aerial yoga instead of traditional yoga.
@elisek
I wouldn't say that you necessarily need a ton of core strength to do it.
The hammock gives a lot of support, the only thing I can relate it to is like if you're exercising in a pool- there's an effortless, weightless thing about it.

@Avrilmai that's the worst when the motivation is so low! Hope the rest of the work week goes by quick!
@charlestonchew Happy Birthday!
@lund Man, do I feel you. I get so annoyed when my house is out of place and it doesn't both hubbie at all. We've literally had a box in our dining room for three months that he has yet to find a home for. Drives me nuts.
@yayglitter I'm so uncoordinated that looks like a good way for me to give myself a concussion
@elisek I really like your idea. I'm definitely going to make this a life goal. I like doing little things for people that they don't expect (gave a large grocery store giftcard to our daycare teacher who is a single mom and struggling).

@beachbunnyxo123 sorry your temps were messed up too, but helps to hear that it has happened to others. I totally get being nervous about testing and having a love hate relationship with it. I am sending calm vibes your way. Are you on progesterone? It would be my only argument for testing tomorrow if your doctor was thinking about putting you on it, otherwise I would say wait it out until you are ready?
@KariAnn323 would love to do the challenge! It will help pass the time this tww!
@Mythril I feel you on the horrible temping after trigger. Sorry it is putting you in this unknown dpo. I hope you find some ways to relax while you are in this waiting time for the next few days.
@elisek yay for the $4700 in the bank!
@justkeepswimming8 way to go holding out on POAS! You can do it! Hope you get some rest and feel refreshed today!
@vflux33
@lund yes first iui! sorry about the H leaving the house in disarray. That would be annoying.
@avrilmai hey dpo buddy! I hear you on having no motivation and needing to find distractions. I am planning a beach day next week, and thinking about scheduling a mani/pedi one day...have 12 more days to fill up.
Me and Mr. Noperson in about 4.5 weeks?
