GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals?
Re: WTO Saturday 9/16
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: Lots of things
R/R: *TW baby mentioned*
CS/Q: A general question about ovulation - do women typically alternate left and right ovary, or is it completely random?
GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals?
There is a position in the local government here that I very much would like to move into within the next 5 years...it is my dream job.
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, green tea, acupuncture
R/R: There's a chance of thunderstorms today, so we're going to the Ren Fair tomorrow instead. Oh well! Today gets to be frantic prep day instead. My cd 3 bw came back and the doc said everything looked normal, so that's good! MH and I are going to head over to a coffee shop for the day to get out of the house and get our work done there, but I'll have more time to bump today. Yesterday ended up being ridiculously busy.
CS/Q: Not much to see yet, but chart is in spoiler.
GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals?
The goal of all academics: tenure! Also, I'd love to be able to buy a home.
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: All the things except opks
R/R: Rave- It is so nice to have DH back....no rants today! All we've done today is grocery shop, and now DH is cooking a fabulous dinner for us.
CS/Q: How early in a cycle have y'all ovulated? I'm seriously cramping on my left side, I also had EWCM this morning. Not a ton, but it was definitely there. My temp as dipped a little...So weird
GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals? Career wise, I would love to have a management position with the VA....or work in patient advocacy in some way within the next five years. Personally, I'd love to start running again and train for another half marathon.
@canucklehead123 I also think that you will randomly ovulate from both ovaries, but I could be wrong. Hope y'all get an adorable, and happy update soon! Exciting!
@darkstar42 So happy that your labs are normal so far. I know that doesn't give you any answers, but it's definitely a good start to your testing phase. Sorry your fair plans got cancelled today. Hope you guys make it tomorrow!
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm
R/R: On a work trip and probably going to O tomorrow (I thought it would be today, but only "high" OPK). Will be home tomorrow so hopefully we can squeeze in another BD!
CS/Q: [spoiler]
[/spoiler]
GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals? I guess just doing well at my job and travel. Shorter term goals are always reading more. I also want to teach my dog more tricks!

@JennyColada Fx you get another chance to bd before you O! What tricks does your dog already know?
For Chart Stalking, Click Here!
@canucklehead123 yes its random, but of course as there are only two then you can get a pattern of alternating sides for a few months, so it might seem like that. Also that is assuming both ovaries function the same - if one has had some damage then you might get more ovulation from the "normal" side
@darkstar42 when I hear tenure I always think Ross from friends lol
@josie12367 and @jennycolada fx you have good timing this weekend
Also thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday
Month/cycle 30/29
CD 9
(though it feels like day 109!)
WAYDTGKU PNV CoQ10 BBT CM CP OPK CBAD no caffeine no alcohol no gluten (semi-paleo) limited sugar (other than in my birthday cake yesterday ;-))
Plus for IVF cycle 1 day 7 of 225 every night of Pergoveris (Stimulant) and day 2 of Orgalutran (Ganirelix - every 18 hours to prevent early ovulation)
R/R
Rant - I hope none of you end up doing IVF but omg the Ganirelix is making me feel terrible - migraine, very strong nausea, dizziness
Rave - DH is treating me like a princess and serving my every whim whilst I lay on the sofa with the logs burning on the fire, watching the birds and the squirrels running around all our feeders in the garden. Sometimes it's the small things :-)
CS/Q Not sure what's going on with temps with the drugs, but omg I literally need to wear a liner I have that much watery CM!!!
Chart in spoiler
GTKY
Great question (thanks @izza2 ) as it made me look back at my new year goals from the last few years and be thankful for what I have
However my main NBR goal right now is to finish the Executive MBA that I'm doing - two more on-site weeks coming up before Xmas and then have to write my dissertation by end of March.
Other than that it is to do the work on our house that we want to do to really make it the way we want - this will be a 5+ year project!

Fav Quote: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return
@darkstar42 Glad your cd3 bloodwork all came back good. Will you meet with the RE before your next cycle? Also are you in the twin cities? What area do you want to buy a house in?
@josie12367 The EWCM and temp dip are both often cause by estrogen surge. That's typically before ovulation. I usually O between CD 13 and 17 and getting EWCM starting around 4 days
or so prior.
@JennyColada Is this your first work trip with the new job??? How is it??
Month/Cycle: 9/10
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, HIO, still bugging DH to make his appointment (just realized I forgot to take my OPK with FMU - oops!)
R/R: It's so cold here this weekend! I am not prepared! We are still going to venture out if the rain holds out. First we have to pick up a wheelchair so I can push DH around the street fair. Our friends are taking bets on how many people I take out...
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals?
I need to focus on my health/weight so starting Monday I am going all in. Gym, running, and healthy eating! Im thinking about setting a distance running goal/time. My town has a Turkey Trot on thanksgiving that's really popular so I might try to do the 5k. Hopefully that type of goal would be some motivation. I have totally slacked on my health this year because I keep thinking I'll be KU soon and it won't matter.

@emmasemm I'm sorry the ivf drugs are having so many side effects, but that's so sweet that YH is taking care of you so well. What kind of birthday cake did you get yesterday?
@JennyColada I have cats, so I'm very familiar with that blank stare. Haha. But it sounds like your dog knows a lot so far!
[TW]One of the other managers just found out she's KU. -_- Funny coincidence though. Thanks cosmos, really enjoying that one.[/TW]
Good luck with your training! Just take it one step at a time! I try to "run" when I can, but it's usually 80% walk and 20% jog. But as long as you get the activity it's all good!

@JennyColada How exciting!! Sorry about your coworker... I'm pretty sure the cosmos are playing a joke on me too. *TW* my S and SIL and KU, my supervisor is on mat leave, another coworker is KU, and two of my best friends had babies this week... /TW I feel like instead of waiting until Monday maybe I should put shoes on and start now! Or I could stay on my couch and read a book....

R/R: Took our dog to the vet and they pretty much told us he is very sick. But we brought him home and have been giving him meds and he seems to be getting better eating more and walking around.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals?
Being able to work from home.
@emmasemm Happy late Birthday! So sorry you feel like poo, but I'm glad your DH is taking care of you so well. I'm also in an MBA program...congrats for the end being in sight! So exciting!
@JennyColada Hold on little eggy! Hope you can get more timing in! Your pooch is seriously impressive. Mine only know how to sit, and stay. Better than nothing I guess!
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: "Well I guess it would be nice, If I could touch your body, I know not everybody, Has got a body like you, uhh"
R/R: I've been MIA the last few days, sorry, it's been so busy! Game Night went great, I went out with my friend and his fiancé to a drag show for his birthday last night, and tonight is the Air Force Ball. So no rant today, just yay for pretty dresses!
CS/Q: I temped 1 day 2 hours early, and now FF made that the only solid dot with a bunch of open circles.
GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals? I'm not sure that I have any that I am currently working towards or are short term. I would eventually like to go back to school for an MSN, but I'm not in the head space to do it yet.
@canucklehead123 for the most part I believe it is random, though some women recognized a pattern. My sister goes left, left, right.
@darkstar42 do you teach? At U of M? My youngest BIL just started his freshman year there.
@josie12367 I think my earliest O was cd 12
@JennyColada GL squeezing in one last BD session, hopefully it does it for you.
@emmasemm oh to be treated like princess. I love when MH is so helpful if I'm not feeling well.
@MrsMiller8588 where in ND are you from? My dad was stationed at Grand Forks when I was little.

CS/Q:
GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals?
To hold a high profile job. I would like to be the Secretary of Education.
@darkstar42 good luck with tenure! It's such a relief when you get it! Although I gave up my job 2 yrs after tenure ha!
@emmasemm sorry you're not feeling well!
@Stargazer1lily sorry about your dog. I hate when my pup gets sick. She's old and I always worry that her time is coming.

------------------
@canucklehead123 yay to yh's cousin! I know i alternate, or at least I seem to. If my cycle is 30-32 days thos month than my hypothesis seems correct. One side is 30-32 days. Thw other side is 36-42 days.
@darkstar42 oooo have fun at ren fair!! Glad tp hear your bw came back good
@josie12367 im so glad yh is home

@mrsbunz. Hi
@Stargazer1lily. Hope the pup feels better super soon!!
@JennyColada. FX you get home from the trip in time to bump dirties again!!
@josie12367. What's YH making?! Is he a good cook?
@darkstar42. So glad your be came back well. FX it is only taking a little longer &you won't have your RE appt in Oct. ((hugs)) have fun at the ren fest!
@canucklehead123 I pattern. This month is righty. I have a sneaking suspicion that this side has a shorter LP than lefty.
@emmasemm. ((hugs)) FX so hard for you. Hope you get to feeling better & your H continues to pamper you. Looks like,you've had a lot of joint pain. I sincerely hope it hasn't been worse than usual. ((hugs))
Sorry if I missed anyone!!
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD: uhhh, 10?
WAYDTGKU: just GDTPT. Woot! OPKs & PNV. I'm not doing much else, just in case all the teas & seeds & what not are having an impact. I want my bw this cycle to be my body as a solo show.
R/R: I went grocery shopping by myself today!! The last 2 years I have missed out on Halloween Oreos. I bought myself a nice big family pack
CS/Q: Nope. Did not sleep well, so I did not temp this morning!
GTKY: See the Northern Lights. Ride in a hot air balloon. Sit in seats RIGHT behind home plate of a MH & my's teams playing each other. Have abs. Travel Europe w/ MH (I've been...I want him to go with me!)
Eta I know what you mean about having an H that cooks. I'm no slouch in the kitchen myself, but DH is a fantastic cook and it's awesome!
@jrm_14 I hope you get to put your "buckets of fertile CM" to good use

R/R: I've had a great day hanging out with the family.
CS/Q: Just waiting. Waiting. I had some EWCM today so I'm hoping O is tomorrow. We would have decent timing if it was. Regardless, probably be HIO the next few days.
GTKY: *stolen from TWW* What are your NBR (Non-baby related) goals? I've kind of "made it" in the scheme of what I do. I'm a social worker for a hospital, which is a good job, especially for my field.
My passion is with animals. I want to foster animals eventually. But my dream would be to open my own animal shelter on 10 acres of land. Let senior dogs live happily and find homes for as many of them as I can.
We just got them yeaterday, so I'm sure there will be forgotten days. He's taking fertilaid--bought it from Amazon. It's worth a shot!
Thanks all for answering my question!! You've given me lots to think about - especially that both sides won't necessarily be the same timing-wise. This is making a whole lotta sense for my bod!!!
