Happy Friday y'all! Hope you don't mind me spicing up the GTKY a bit
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: All the things starting TONIGHT!
R/R: Rant- OPKs are delayed...Just got notified by USPS that their new arrival date is in TWO weeks. Good thing I have long cycles cause I may still get them in time. Guess we shall see. Rave- DH comes home tonight. So excited to jump his bones....TMI? Oops!
CS/Q: Nothing to see still
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex... was probably in the parking lot of an insurance company at around 10pm. We just randomly pulled over after Def Leopard's Pour Some Sugar on Me came on the radio due to my karaoke performance being a bit arousing I guess...lol. Most embarrassing situation, not necessarily place, was while I was on hold with my bank. It was while we were still dating. DH initiated thinking I'd shoot him down, but I didn't! DH still says that he knew we were meant to be after that. I was embarrassingly out of breath once a representative FINALLY answered. *sighs* I miss those days of spontaneity!
Back after a crazy week where I could only love tit...
Month/Cycle 30/29
CD 8
WAYDTGKU everything including throwing in the kitchen sink...
R/R went for first monitoring appointment this morning after 5 days of stims for first IVF cycle, and how many follicles do you think I have of the right size? One. Yep, less than I get on average naturally! And now they are worried I might ovulate before it's mature. We're going to HIO all weekend just in case, but seriously pissed with my body today... Back on Monday to see where we are and what we do. oh and just to top it off it's my birthday...
CS/Q still temping but nothing to see yet and will start peeing on OPKs tomorrow just in case, though with the drugs I can't necessarily trust them.
GTKY Well I grew up a horsey girl, so stables, hay barns, fields all made it on my list fairly early (I had a bf for five years as a teenager). Though also on a beach at night (though on the east coast of the U.K. So a bit chilly!!!). In the living room downstairs at my parents house whilst they were upstairs asleep... Whilst on a telco for work, occasionally unmuting to add a point of view. DH loves to start things off whilst I'm on a work call, but also love that we can still be like teenagers at times. Oh and in an elevator at a work conference with around 400 senior managers in the same hotel, but again with a long term partner. I think I'm going to stop there before I give you totally the wrong impression!!!

*Visiting from TWW* @emmasemm Happy, happy birthday! Do you have any fun plans? Also, you have lots of exciting adventures there...I'm impressed by the elevator one...how do you keep it from opening on a certain floor?
WAYDTGKU: Tracking my cycle, tracking CF, OPK, Pre-Seed, legs in the air like I just don't care after baby dancing, going to start using Premama fertility supplement today, got a sample to try out.
R/R: Rant - I feel this past month was sabotaged by my brother in law. My peak fertile window was labor day weekend and he showed up to stay the entire weekend at our house and totally got in the way of our baby making. I was cramping the day he showed he showed up and pretty sure it was the day I ovulated, DH and I didn't get to dance till almost 24 hours after I felt the cramping, so likely lost that egg. Rave - Pumpkin spice coffee is here and it's getting colder out, I'm so basic this time of year.
CS/Q: Not sure what this means, didn't see it in the glossary.
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex... In a luxury box at a sporting event!
WAYDTGKU: right now hoping like hell that DH gets home so we can have sex in my FW.
R/R: It's Friday! I will leave it at that and pass on the rants.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex... Open field in the middle of the field on a farm in Guatemala? Not overly adventurous I guess.
@josie12367 Sorry about the delayed opks, but glad YH comes home tonight! Have fun! @pebbledam Hope you get more sleep tonight! I've been having terrible sleep this week too. It makes it so much harder to be productive. @emmasemm Happy birthday! So sorry that your body hasn't responded to the stimms as you hoped. Have you had a chance to talk about next steps with your doctor? Can he change up the protocol to try again? @dlynnb084 Sorry about cd 1, and fx for good timing this month! ************************
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, pnvs, green tea, acupuncture
R/R: I don't whether all of this is a rant or a rave, but I had my cd 3 bw yesterday, so I'm waiting on those results. My HSG is scheduled for Tuesday. MH can't take off work, so I have to go alone. I also scheduled an initial consult with an RE in mid-October. I'm a little bit freaked out by all of this, but also glad to have some next steps in place. I also have a busy day ahead at work, so I'll do my best to get on here and comment, but I may not reappear until evening. For sure a rave - MH and I are going to the renaissance faire tomorrow! We don't dress up or anything, but we enjoy the food and shows. It'll be great to truly take a day off.
CS/Q: Nothing to see yet.
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex... I'm pretty boring! Outside in our yard at our last house (we had high fences) is probably about as interesting as it gets.
@dukestar5 thanks! And with the elevator I have to say it was 3am (and we were maybe a touch inebriated;-)) and actually we selected all the buttons for the top half and hoped nobody would be wanting to go up from midway to the top at that time of the morning.... I don't remember the exact floor numbers but it was something like 9 to 30something... (his room was top floor) Sorry if it's TMI but he was more than capable of "regrouping" within a few minutes, so one "quickie" on the way up was then followed by a full session once we were in the room... fun but dangerous days...

@nitnat007 thanks! Off out for dinner later somewhere a bit fancy so looking forward to that!
@darkstar42 we talked today and as there are only two other follies and one he's not sure he can reach (as I have ovary that hides somewhere deep and high) then we're giving the second one til Monday to catch up and then if it looks like it will then delay ER til thurs - if not go ahead for the one Weds. All I have to do is not O before that!!! And in the last few hours I remembered I'm lucky to have an RE that will even think about going ahead with only 1 or 2 follies - most cancel ER with less than 4 mature follies it seems. So trying to focus on the positives for now.

@josie12367 that sucks your OPK's got delayed! But when in doubt, HIO! Have fun with YH being back. @pebbledam sorry about the lack of sleep that always makes for long, tough days. Hope you get some rest soon! @emmasemm Happy birthday! Treat yo self you deserve it. Sorry you body isn't cooperating! @dlynnb084 CS/Q: is Chart Stalk or Questions. If you are charting with FF (fertility friend) then you can post your chart to get a second opinion. Or if you just have a general question. And a luxury box? That sounds fun! How do you manage to get that all to yourself? @darkstar42 its good to have a plan and just be able to focus on the next steps. Have fun at the Renaissance Festival! @MrsMiller8588 we gotta enjoy the drinks while we still can! Have fun!
AFM Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: all the acronyms
R/R: no rants. Our friends from WI are visiting this weekend!
CS/Q: FF is saying my FW will be next M-Th (CD 9-12) but Ovia is saying next F-W (CD 13-18) I don't have enough history with either or with my cycle in general so I think I will just start the OPK's next Wed and HIO all the days!
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex... At a historical marker site off the highway. Most embarrassing was probably when MH was living with his parents after college so we went to a park at night and did it in the car.

@krashke, ahh, thanks! I don't use Fertility Friend, I've been using Ovia.
My boyfriend at the time had won tickets from some contest and we ended up being the only ones in the suite, but snuck into the private bathroom since the suite is full view glass on three sides.
@emmasemm happy birthday! FX for you. @darkstar42 have fun at the renaissance fair -- never been to one, can we get a recap on Monday?! @dlynnb084 I just recently made the switch from Ovia to FF...I highly recommend!!

WAYDTGKU: Lots
R/R: DH and I had a bit of a spat this morning - not a nice way to start the day. He was wearing these really tight briefs and I told him they weren't good for his sperm and he should change. He just shrugged it off, said it was fine. That really got me going, I just feel like I'm the one doing all the research, making changes, etc. and he is like *oh it's fine, I can take hot baths, wear tight underwear, and have a drink every night*... Yet he is so excited and really wants this. So anyway, I think he finally heard my point this morning...he promised he would start doing some of his own reading into sperm health so that I wasn't always having to convince him all the time.
CS/Q: Nothing interesting
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex... Ah, back in uni I may have drunkenly performed oral sex on DH on public transit...I can't even believe it now.
@canucklehead123 sorry about the spat with YH but on the topic of men's underwear is it just regular briefs like tighty whities or are boxer briefs a no no too? At this point I have no reason to be concerned about DH swimmers but anything to help right?

@krashke I don't really know - he wears boxer-briefs all the time, and his regular sized ones are fine IMO. But, he has this one pair that are just TOO small for him LOL (they honestly can't be comfortable), but he likes the fabric so he wears them still... Maybe I should just throw them out... see if he notices? #sorrynotsorry
@emmasemm Happy Birthday!!! bummer you didn't respond well to the stims it sounds like you have a good Dr though. Will you do another retrieval cycle?
@darkstar42 Glad you have steps in place to move forward! My HSG was really no big deal so I am hoping yours is the same. I did take Advil about an hour beforehand on my Dr recommendation. Will you get to see your results when they come in? Or will you just find out at your consult?
@krashke Do you have cheapie OPKs? I started today (on CD 8) since I have Od as early as CD13. I also use the CBAD so not cheap, but I like that it also picks up the estrogen surge. Remind me- are you temping? If you are it's probably not a big deal to start early if you are still consistent with HIO but if you are only relying on OPKs to pinpoint O I would start a little earlier. Just my opinion

@canucklehead123 I texted him right after I replied to you and asked if he feels like his boxer briefs are too tight and if his junk gets hot and sweaty. He said he thinks its fine and they don't feel too hot. I personally like the boxer briefs best and if we gotta HIO all the time I will need something to get me in the mood.
@MrsMiller8588 I have wandfo's OPK's so I can POAS to my hearts content! Follow up Q: the directions on them say to pee in a cup and dip it in for 3 secs but that seems like more work then just sticking it in the stream. Will it still work if I just hold it under there for 3 secs? Also I started temping with a reg dig and it is giving me weird numbers so I just bought a BBT today.

@krashke I find it best to dip my cheapie OPK's in the cup because I will pee all over the strip otherwise... and I'm fairly certain if you get the test area wet it won't work properly.
@krashke I would switch to the bbt tomorrow. I think you are early enough in your cycle and I think will be more accurate. I always pee in a cup and dip because I think it's less messy. I swear I have a strong stream and if I always splash on my hand if I put a pee stick in the stream it should still work, but it's not a very big area to pee on and they recommend not getting any on the test portion. I would just dip it. I know some ladies use the wrapper as the "cup".

@canucklehead123 and @MrsMiller8588 thanks for the advice, ladies! Have you ever used the Target Up & Up BBT? That's the one I got because it was easy and cheap but now I'm reading reviews that its not very accurate and has favorite temps. Although those were kind of old so idk if they have improved it. I guess I want to know if I should return it and order one on Amazon?

Re: WTO Friday 9/15
Month/Cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU: All the things starting TONIGHT!
R/R: Rant- OPKs are delayed...Just got notified by USPS that their new arrival date is in TWO weeks. Good thing I have long cycles cause I may still get them in time. Guess we shall see. Rave- DH comes home tonight. So excited to jump his bones....TMI? Oops!
CS/Q: Nothing to see still
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex... was probably in the parking lot of an insurance company at around 10pm. We just randomly pulled over after Def Leopard's Pour Some Sugar on Me came on the radio due to my karaoke performance being a bit arousing I guess...lol. Most embarrassing situation, not necessarily place, was while I was on hold with my bank. It was while we were still dating. DH initiated thinking I'd shoot him down, but I didn't! DH still says that he knew we were meant to be after that. I was embarrassingly out of breath once a representative FINALLY answered. *sighs* I miss those days of spontaneity!
CD: 40
WAYDTGKU: a lot of waiting
R/R: I haven'gilept well the past two days and won't get any sleep today.
CS/Q: Sure.
GTKY: Elementary school parking lot (at night). Thank God we didn't get caught or we would probably be on a sex offender registry.

WAYDTGKU everything including throwing in the kitchen sink...
R/R went for first monitoring appointment this morning after 5 days of stims for first IVF cycle, and how many follicles do you think I have of the right size? One. Yep, less than I get on average naturally! And now they are worried I might ovulate before it's mature. We're going to HIO all weekend just in case, but seriously pissed with my body today... Back on Monday to see where we are and what we do.
oh and just to top it off it's my birthday...
CS/Q still temping but nothing to see yet and will start peeing on OPKs tomorrow just in case, though with the drugs I can't necessarily trust them.
GTKY Well I grew up a horsey girl, so stables, hay barns, fields all made it on my list fairly early (I had a bf for five years as a teenager). Though also on a beach at night (though on the east coast of the U.K. So a bit chilly!!!). In the living room downstairs at my parents house whilst they were upstairs asleep... Whilst on a telco for work, occasionally unmuting to add a point of view. DH loves to start things off whilst I'm on a work call, but also love that we can still be like teenagers at times.
Oh and in an elevator at a work conference with around 400 senior managers in the same hotel, but again with a long term partner.
I think I'm going to stop there before I give you totally the wrong impression!!!

@emmasemm Happy, happy birthday! Do you have any fun plans? Also, you have lots of exciting adventures there...I'm impressed by the elevator one...how do you keep it from opening on a certain floor?
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Tracking my cycle, tracking CF, OPK, Pre-Seed, legs in the air like I just don't care after baby dancing, going to start using Premama fertility supplement today, got a sample to try out.
R/R: Rant - I feel this past month was sabotaged by my brother in law. My peak fertile window was labor day weekend and he showed up to stay the entire weekend at our house and totally got in the way of our baby making. I was cramping the day he showed he showed up and pretty sure it was the day I ovulated, DH and I didn't get to dance till almost 24 hours after I felt the cramping, so likely lost that egg. Rave - Pumpkin spice coffee is here and it's getting colder out, I'm so basic this time of year.
CS/Q: Not sure what this means, didn't see it in the glossary.
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex... In a luxury box at a sporting event!

R/R: It's Friday! I will leave it at that and pass on the rants.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex... Open field in the middle of the field on a farm in Guatemala? Not overly adventurous I guess.
@pebbledam Hope you get more sleep tonight! I've been having terrible sleep this week too. It makes it so much harder to be productive.
@emmasemm Happy birthday! So sorry that your body hasn't responded to the stimms as you hoped. Have you had a chance to talk about next steps with your doctor? Can he change up the protocol to try again?
@dlynnb084 Sorry about cd 1, and fx for good timing this month!

R/R: I don't whether all of this is a rant or a rave, but I had my cd 3 bw yesterday, so I'm waiting on those results. My HSG is scheduled for Tuesday. MH can't take off work, so I have to go alone. I also scheduled an initial consult with an RE in mid-October. I'm a little bit freaked out by all of this, but also glad to have some next steps in place. I also have a busy day ahead at work, so I'll do my best to get on here and comment, but I may not reappear until evening. For sure a rave - MH and I are going to the renaissance faire tomorrow! We don't dress up or anything, but we enjoy the food and shows. It'll be great to truly take a day off.
CS/Q: Nothing to see yet.
GTKY: Most interesting, or embarrassing, place you've ever had sex...
I'm pretty boring! Outside in our yard at our last house (we had high fences) is probably about as interesting as it gets.
And with the elevator I have to say it was 3am (and we were maybe a touch inebriated;-)) and actually we selected all the buttons for the top half and hoped nobody would be wanting to go up from midway to the top at that time of the morning.... I don't remember the exact floor numbers but it was something like 9 to 30something... (his room was top floor)
Sorry if it's TMI but he was more than capable of "regrouping" within a few minutes, so one "quickie" on the way up was then followed by a full session once we were in the room... fun but dangerous days...

@darkstar42 we talked today and as there are only two other follies and one he's not sure he can reach (as I have ovary that hides somewhere deep and high) then we're giving the second one til Monday to catch up and then if it looks like it will then delay ER til thurs - if not go ahead for the one Weds. All I have to do is not O before that!!! And in the last few hours I remembered I'm lucky to have an RE that will even think about going ahead with only 1 or 2 follies - most cancel ER with less than 4 mature follies it seems. So trying to focus on the positives for now.

@dlynnb084 CS/Q: is Chart Stalk or Questions. If you are charting with FF (fertility friend) then you can post your chart to get a second opinion. Or if you just have a general question. And a luxury box? That sounds fun! How do you manage to get that all to yourself?

R/R: DH and I had a bit of a spat this morning - not a nice way to start the day. He was wearing these really tight briefs and I told him they weren't good for his sperm and he should change. He just shrugged it off, said it was fine. That really got me going, I just feel like I'm the one doing all the research, making changes, etc. and he is like *oh it's fine, I can take hot baths, wear tight underwear, and have a drink every night*... Yet he is so excited and really wants this. So anyway, I think he finally heard my point this morning...he promised he would start doing some of his own reading into sperm health so that I wasn't always having to convince him all the time.

@darkstar42 Glad you have steps in place to move forward! My HSG was really no big deal so I am hoping yours is the same. I did take Advil about an hour beforehand on my Dr recommendation. Will you get to see your results when they come in? Or will you just find out at your consult?
@krashke Do you have cheapie OPKs? I started today (on CD 8) since I have Od as early as CD13. I also use the CBAD so not cheap, but I like that it also picks up the estrogen surge. Remind me- are you temping? If you are it's probably not a big deal to start early if you are still consistent with HIO but if you are only relying on OPKs to pinpoint O I would start a little earlier. Just my opinion

Follow up Q: the directions on them say to pee in a cup and dip it in for 3 secs but that seems like more work then just sticking it in the stream. Will it still work if I just hold it under there for 3 secs? Also I started temping with a reg dig and it is giving me weird numbers so I just bought a BBT today.
