@ajsanders-2 ((Hugs)) Sorry you have all the feels too. Which new diet are you trying?
@dragonette505 Loved that gif. Definitely made me smile.
@jrm_14 Thanks, friend As far as plans, nothing too exciting. Maybe a night out with the girls.
@darkstar42 Thanks! So glad you got good sleep last night. It does wonders!
@canucklehead123 Jealous of your lake swim. So fun! My DH has a new dream of buying a lake house...we took a look at one this weekend (definitely a big fixer up project) and you can swim in the lake...I was thinking...this is a win!
@izza2 ((Hugs friend)) I seriously think right before AF as well as CDs 1 & 2 are emotionally the hardest.
@MrsBunz So jealous of your cricut! What are you planning to make today?
@blackhottamales Steamy! Now you just need to re-enact that dream with your DH tonight...I'd bet he would be all over that!
@emmasemm Exciting! And it sounds like the people working with you from insurance are really thoughtful. If you don't mind me asking, will you all decide to freeze or not? Is there a benefit of doing a fresh transfer versus the frozen-thawed one? (Also, possibly TMI, but are you taking any supplements to help with EWCM or do you normally have that much? I've not had much the past few cycles, so trying to figure out what might help).
@Stargazer1lily How did the appointment go? What are they looking for with the ultrasound? An follicle count?
@MrsMiller8588 Good luck being productive today! And safe travels on your work trip.
@emmasemm I'm going to have to check that podcast out now. Thanks! Also on the gif front, use the little pic of the mountain, that should give you the option to copy a link into it or choose a file. On mobile I use the "GIPHY" app and save image to my phone and then insert it with the mountain icon. GL!
@dukestar5 They were looking at my ovaries and uterus because I have really wonky periods. I have to make a follow up appointment with my doctor for results.
@darkstar42 - H bought wine and is taking a really long time to cook dinner, but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. I also bought myself a kit Kat at work today.
I'm pretending he's being super awesome because it's CD 1, but really it's because tomorrow is our anniversary and hes tired of "boring normal food".
I also watched clams spit out dirt and stick their tongues (bodies?) out, so that was fun. I named one Sam the Clam but he's now in the pot steaming with the others.
@izza2 Happy anniversary in advance, and that sounds like a lovely dinner! I googled pics of clams sticking out their tongues, and that looks SO COOL! Hope Sam the Clam is super tasty!
@dukestar5 no not TMI at all, well not for me on here (diff story IRL!).
I generally don't have a problem with CM volumes - but I drink a LOT of water every day (4 liters plus!), but on the days I don't (e.g. Traveling or visiting with people) then I can get hardly any. In general my body only works in extremes, so when others notice subtle differences I get big ones, so I'm typically a great barometer.
But the other thing I started this month was the Ubiquinol at 100mg morning and evening and it could be coincidence but I've seen a really big increase the whole month of all CM. I've also been feeling my ovaries for the first time and definitely feeling some O pain yesterday and today. Whether this is a good thing or not we have to see. And as I wrote I also feel like a freaking super hero energy wise...
Of course I also take pnvs (Femibion at the suggestion of my doctor which contains a good high dose of Methlyfolat amongst all the other recommendations). I have been on this for more than 2 years now so not sure if there are further benefits from general vitamin increase as before I was really bad at taking regular vitamins. I take CAT A meds for my Rheumatoid Arthritis and Auto-immune issues too, but these are not supposed to have general positive impacts - just keep my overreactive immune system dampened down.
I drink no caffeine - never have drunk tea or coffee and removed other sources also more than a year ago. And no alcohol. I didn't drink at all for 9 years due to extensive pain meds I was on, but then the last ten years did enjoy the odd glass of wine, but stopped that completely since the wedding in December. Regular fertility massages also. Oh and a super sexy DH ;-)
Not sure if any of that is helpful but even if there's one thing you didn't try already then maybe that's the missing piece of the puzzle for you, but I know our bodies are all so wonderfully different

@nitnat007 - Your warning label suits me as well. @jrm_14 - I have the cleaning service come every four weeks.

Good job on the spoiler box. @MrsMiller8588 - The world needs more people like you to make talking about TTC less taboo. It's literally something humans have been doing for thousands of years and should not be so weird to talk about! I just don't like talking to people in general, especially about personal things (but I'm not strictly avoiding TTC). @izza2 - I hope today is better than yesterday. Sorry for CD1.
