R/R Happy Saturday! Just hanging around the house today and I'm totally OK with that
CSQ
GTKY I think if lunch meat or milk or anything perishable isn't consumed within a week it gets thrown out. I throw out a lot of food that I probably shouldn't!
@SkilledSailor Iceland sounds amazing - Hope you get your plans in order!

WAYDTGKU: OPK, charting
R/R: I haven't slept well all week, have been crampy everyday, and am grumpyAF.
CS/Q: I had a big temp dip this morning. Its an open circle because I marked as sleep deprived. I only got about 2 hours of sleep before my normal temp time. So far, what should be my post O temps are low and unremarkable.

WAYDTGKU: bbt, opk, preseed, EOD sex
R/R: Slept like 10 hours last night and feel so good. I hadn't been getting good sleep all week and work was hell.
CS/Q: 2nd day of raised temp so tomorrow I'll probably move over to TWW.
@lurvleybunchococonuts Glad your SD is doing better today! Is your SD the one who was kept out late a few days ago?
@notthefather Sorry about your temping troubles. That sounds frustrating. And yes to the cabinets! It didn't bother me too much before until I nannied for a family who would leave all of their cabinet doors open in their tiny kitchen. Drove me insane.
@charlestonchew Yay for O! And I'm the same way about things being fair. Did you have lots of siblings as well? I always wondered if my need for fairness stems from the feeling of "competing" with siblings.
Edited to include a tag.
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: clomid, pnv, opks/temping
R/R: Rant: Tried making croissants. I don't think they rose enough because they are kind of flat. But I had to bake them because the butter was starting to melt. So finicky - it need to be warm enough to proof but not too warm for the butter. I left my second tray out to proof longer so hopefully they look better than the first tray. Second Rant: It is Strawberry Fest in my town today and it is crazy. Like busses of tourists and everything. Rave: Getting strawberry everything at Strawberry Fest. Strawberries are my favorite.
CS/Q: I need to figure out when to schedule my follie scan. My RE recommended CD14, but last time I didn't ovulate until like day 20 and had to go in multiple times. I guess this isn't really a question anybody can answer.
@notthefather I am 100% guilty of leaving everything open. It drives DH mad. And hopefully crampy means O soon!
@SkilledSailor I'd love to see pics of your hair. And Iceland sounds amazing - our wedding photog has shared pics from her trips there and it is beautiful. Also I feel like I heard flights were fairly cheap.
@RVAmom315 I'm with you on lunch meat. And milk I'll keep a week or so past its sell by date. But yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, and eggs I'll use a few weeks past the sell by date with a passing sniff test.

@RVAmom315 I agree about that food tossing. I can't handle that. If it's not consumed in a week, you outta there!
@lurvleybunchococonuts Kids right?!? My niece once tried it on me and my DH.... like we just sat and stared till she got her stuff together... I'm grown! Lol trust me that I'm not giving in.
@notthefather I feel I can never properly temp when I actually need to. I'm on an off cycle and I'm temping perfectly! Next cycle I'll be a hot mess!
@charlestonchew yay for possible O!!
@becausescience croissants are hard... it's been a while since I made them, but I feel like I remember keeping the butter cool (and cutting back a bit on the butter in general because I prefer it a bit more flaky) and adding the proofing yeast towards the end... it's been a long time tho!

@charlestonchew Man 10 hrs of sleep sounds amazing.
@becausescience Mmmm, now I want strawberries.
@dragonette505 Ha, I feel you on that answer. Being in the medical field, it makes me laugh how medical terms are translated sometimes. Not the person's fault, they're not medical how would they know? For instance, there's a scan of your gallbladder called a HIDA scan. I saw it written down one day as a "hide-a-scan".
@JennyColada Waiting for everyone to get food to eat is just good manners!

Month/Cycle: 4/2

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Preseed, HIO, CM charting, temping (badly)
R/R:
Rant - This chick cannot hold her hard liquor anymore. I gave up wine trying to lose weight but gave in to a horseshoe mule last night while watching TV with hubbie. This morning, woke up nauseated, headache, run down and so emotional. I cried at the recycling episode of Sesame Street. No joke.
CS/Q: I think I figured this out by searching and rereading TCOYF, but yesterday I had a scant amount of CM which was cloudy, but stretchy to about 1.5". I charted it as EWCM. This morning it was gone but there was a small amount of creamy, definitely not stretchy CM. Is that why you guys would have done?
Also, anyone who takes folate instead of folic acid, does it make you nauseated? I've taken with and without food and doesn't seem to make a difference.

DD: Dec 2015
BFP 8/14/17 --> Due 4/27/2018
@fishsticks-n-custard my PNVs have folate (instead of acid), but they also have everything else with it so I'm not sure if that is what affects it. But I take it at night after dinner and I feel ok with it. I want to say that I've read somewhere that iron in vitamins can sometimes lead to a nauseated feeling. andplusalso my stomach seems to be pretty good and rarely leaves me feeling icky regardless of what I eat.
tl;dr I'm no help.
@charlestonchew only child here too!

Month/Cycle: 3/2 (1AL)
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: PNV, HIO, and preseed
R/R: Lots of running around today, but tonight it should be fairly relaxing.
CS/Q: Nope
@fishsticks-n-custard I totally laughed at the thought of you hungover and crying at sesame street. I have often felt your pain, but LMFAO!
RE SD, we got to the bottom of the issue we think. BM has been telling her not to listen to me. M has been great when it's just DH & her. But all week has been a constant battle when I'm home or if I ask her to do something which is really abnormal. Usually she's my little buddy! Finally she talked to DH and apparently BM told her she does not have to listen to me. Ugh.
And everyone else, *wave* hai! On mobile so hard to comment on everything. Hope ya'll have a fabulously wonderful day!

@becausescience--I love strawberry everything too...the strawberry fest sounds amazing!
CD: 3 (I ovulate late...around day 20...so the wait feels like forever!)
WAYDTGKU: opks, charting, (planning to try preseed this cycle too)
R/R: I am waiting for DH to come home so we can take the kids to swim...it should be a relaxing evening with the family.
CS/Q: Have you all had cycles where you did not have EWCM? This past cycle I did not notice any and that is unusual...wondering if it means I did not ovulate. (I did get a positive OPK, but I know that only detects the surge in the hormone).
I really appreciate handwritten thank you notes.
@RVAmom515 I am the same way! I live and die by "Best By" dates, even though DH says they're "suggestions". No, the milk jug says it's only safe before this date; if it's not gone by this date, it's going in the trash.
@SkilledSailor I'm so jealous! Grey/silver is where I'd looooove to take my hair! It is such a process though, and I have really dark hair... Oh well. My grandmothers both had really pretty gray, I'll get there naturally at some point.
Month/Cycle: 0/0
CD: 21
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, temping. Trying to find time to call my actual doctor.
R/R: Rant: DH needs a break something fierce. He was "late" for work for the first time in the entire time I've known him this morning. We both woke up to his phone ringing because his line crew needed let into the restaurant. I cannot wait for our vacation next month. Rave: We're buying tickets tonight for the Cubs game in Atlanta on the 18th to kick off the week vacation! We're going to Nashville, but driving to Nashville requires driving to Atlanta anyway, so we're gonna watch his favorite team play my favorite sport!
CS/Q: I have all of the questions, but they're useless because my chart is wackadoo this month. Maybe I'll stick it in the CS/Q thread, although I doubt I'll get any answers.
VACATIONS ARE IMPORTANT. Your brain and your body both need a chance to unwind and not deal with the crap that you have to deal with in real life.
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: I'll finish my first round of clomid tomorrow and then it's on to BBTs, OPKs, and all the sex until the TWW.
R/R: These side effects are no joke. I have woken up with hot flashes for 3 nights in a row and it is making me really dread menopause.
CS/Q: nothing today
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: OPK, PVN, Pre-seed this month
R/R: I'm excited about two back to back BBQs tomorrow, that means little to no cooking for me and free entertainment with friends.
CS/Q: is it possible to have two LH surges in one month? I typically get a positive dark line on OPK on CD 15-17. Yesterday I noticed EWCM so I checked OPK and it was a dark line on CD9!! Today it's faint, I haven't started temping yet, so I may have completely missed my window. I'm so confused!!
@dukestar5: I second what was said about EWCM. You may not get any some cycles but that does not necessarily mean you didn't ovulate.
@LazyCrane: You have all my sympathies for your hot flashes. I had them while on a Lupron cycle and the internal fire is inescapable. I would literally put my head in the freezer. It's awful and I hope it subsides for you soon.
@JennyColada: BBQ to get pregnant? I'm cool with that
@fishsticks-n-custard: I switched to prenatals with folate this week and they do seem to mess with my stomach if I take them without eating, but if your prenatal has iron I would suspect that's the bigger culprit.
