Good morning and happy Saturday to all!! Also why am I up so early on a Saturday? Also...September is over, where did it go!?!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 23
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opk, pnv, pre-seed, seed-cycling, hio... all the things
R/R: Went to a friend's last night and he was giving me so much flack about overpopulation and how having children is so bad for the environment - he was relentless (I was also sober and he was drunk which made it so much worse)...it was terrible. Now I don't feel I can talk to him at all about anything without being supremely judged.
CS/Q: Very slight temp increase today. I temped at 3am and temp was 97.8 (huge leap) then I went back to sleep and temped at 6:30 and temp was back to 96.94.. wtf. Anyway I took the lesser because it made more sense to me, but I will hang around another day to confirm anther high temp.
GTKY: Finish this sentence: My SO is hungover because I woke up and found the evidence of his *by himself* party last night... McDonalds, crackers and cheese, cashews, empties...dear lord.
@canucklehead123 Ya his 86 Suzuki Samurai needs some TLC. He got a bunch of parts to tune up the engine but this morning he realized some of the parts were wrong, so now he has to reorder the right ones.
@canucklehead123 Yes, I cannot believe how September just flew by! Do you typically have a late O? Sorry for the temping frustrations. . Also, I can commiserate with you on your SO...MH will stay up late and leave wrappers from all kinds of snacks!
@Stargazer1lily. That's a great find! What are you all up to this weekend?
month/cycle: 6/6 CD: 12 waydtgku: charting, green tea, PNVs r/r: Beautiful morning with a cool breeze! I really need to do some house cleaning...but dragging my feet and enjoying my coffee. cs/q: gtky: My SO is super tired because he stays up so late watching movies.
@dukestar5 guess it's a man thing!! lol! And yes, I do typically O late, last cycle was CD20 or 21 and the cycle before that was in the CD30's... But, you know how logic and reason kind of flies out the door and impatience prevails
Month/Cycle: 3/3 CD: 15 WAYDTGKU: Things R/R: Temp spiked super high this morning, but it's also inaccurate because of morning sex. But, so far my CM has been dry, so all signs point to yesterday as O day. Just waiting for CHs. CS/Q: GTKY: Finish this sentence: My SO is awesome because he takes the time to make/get gifts that mean something. Case in point: he's working on making a custom picture frame for his cousin's wedding next weekend.
@canucklehead123 Ugg. Don't get me wrong, everyone should be able to have or not have children according to their preference, but I find the overpopulation and environmental argument for not having kids odd. Some parts of the world are overpopulated but a drastic reduction of the population is also not healthy for society. I worry about about the segment of people I know who are (allegedly) not having kids because of the environment- they tend to be highly educated intelligent people who would be good parents (if they wanted to be). I wonder sometimes if they maybe don't want kids and find it easier to pin it on social consciousness, idk. Sorry he made you feel crappy. @Stargazer1lily you are so sweet! What a great find for your dad! @dukestar5 Glad you had a relaxing morning! @izza2 Fx your temp keeps going up!
Month/Cycle: 7/6 (4/4 and 2/2 AL)
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Ubiquinol, vit D, baby aspirin, acupuncture, BBT, HIO
R/R: DH and I had a nice date night last night and he cleaned the kitchen this morning while I went grocery shopping. Currently have a headache which is why I haven't done any work yet... great excuse to be lazy.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Finish this sentence: My SO is doing nerd things today because he is so adorable and nerdy!
@canucklehead123 seriously where did September go?? i feel you on confusing temps. i hope you get your shift soon. @Stargazer1lily nice find at the flea market. @dukestar5 yes, i'm the same i need to clean this house but i'm catching up on all the new shows and don't want to get off the couch.
Month/Cycle: 18/15
CD:11
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT
R/R: weekend laziness
CS/Q: it's ugly because i missed so many days while sick
GTKY: Finish this sentence: My SO is working because he's a work-a-holic but I love it because it's my first weekend alone in the house in months.
On mobile so I’m reading and love-itting all the posts
Month/Cycle: 5/5 (2/2 after losses)
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: pnv, hio, cm, OPKs, Ute juice.
R/R: Rave: my cold is almost over and tonight we are having our first thanksgiving dinner! The in-laws will be out of town next week and they wanted to see everyone before they left. No rant today.
CS/Q: No question, but this is the first month I’ve tried pomegranate juice and it’s definitely changed my cm. I thought it was for making the lining thicker.
GTKY: Finish this sentence: My SO is awesome because he finished 10th overall in a race!
@canucklehead123 It’s an increase, almost double the amount. I just replaced my evening sparkling water with pomegranate juice, so I’m not drinking more than I usually do.
@canucklehead123 I'm sorry about your friend. That's really not ok. Not everyone has the same path in life and that's why it works. I'm sorry you can't be completely true around him now.
Month/Cycle: 2/2 ntnp
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: pnv, start opks in a couple days, sex when we feel like it
R/R: Last minute pot luck at work today and we actually pulled it off. Woohoo us!
CS/Q: Nothing
GTKY: Finish this sentence: My SO is great because he deals with my exhausted/hormonal mood swings and doesn't hold it against me.
R/R: Had a lovely day today...went to a saturday market here, and then spent the rest of the afternoon walking around a local garden. I also got a long nap in, so no complaints from me today! Had a bit of a temp spike also this morning, but it's still not in my usual LP range, so i'm going to stick around for a bit till it rises more. I don't trust my body enough after last cycle, and do NOT wish to join the TWW earlier than necessary like last time.
CS/Q: What do y'all chart when you have a strong positive in the am for an OPK, but it's negative by that afternoon? I read that the positive am ones are residual LH from the day prior, so I would think I would need to chart it as negative for the day, but I just wanted your thoughts...
GTKY: My SO is truly my best friend because I feel like I can tell him the ugly things about myself and he still loves me, and accepts me as is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- @canucklehead123 Ugh, some people...so sorry about your friend. That royally sucks that you feel like you can't talk openly to him anymore. But YEA for the temp rise! Looks like we're chart buddies! @Dukestar5 I've been dragging my feet today too...It's 10pm here and I'm just now starting my homework. Ugh. NO motivation! Hope you just enjoy your day! @stargazer1lily Enjoy your relaxing weekend! @izza2 Looks like we're also chart buddies! I also had a temp spike this am. @zamora_spin Ah! A man that cleans! Be still my heart! Glad you guys had a great date night last night! @blackhottamales What are your plans since you have the house all to yourself? @ChloandCoco I also thought it was just for making a lining thicker....but maybe a healthier llining=better CM? @Mylitta YAS for potlucks! Ugh...I miss that about working as we always had the best potlucks. What all did y'all have?
@josie12367 Mmmmm. We had smoked beef ribs, shredded bbq chicken (with rolls,) pulled pork/turkey sandwhiches, baked beans, chips, salad, fruit and veggies, etc, and cheesecake, little debbies, cupcakes, cookies, and donuts. It was great! Eta: was you're positive opk with fmu? Because yes ice heard that and you wouldn't necessarily count it as positive. If out was smu or later, then I'd still count it today?
R/R: Had such an awesome day today. Ate the doughnuts, bought some clothes, had a delicious beer, had fun with the fam.
CS/Q: too soon still for me
GTKY: Finish this sentence: My SO is amazing because he does it all. Love that dude.
___ @canucklehead123 That is so rude!!! Ugh, sorry you had to deal with that. Also, is this right - your temp increases at the end of your cycle but would decrease again with AF?
@mygoodlucycat yes - so your temp would increase right after ovulation and generally remain elevated for your entire luteal phase until AF (my temp drops a few days before AF). If you are KU, your temp would remain elevated, and you might even see a second temp spike (which is referred to as a triphasic chart), but this doesn't happen in every pregnancy. @josie12367 yeeah chart buddies!!!!!! @ChloandCoco well well, that's awesome! Seems there may be more to pomegranate juice than we thought! I only have small amounts of cm so if there is a next cycle, might try to add the pomegranate juice as well!
Thanks all for the kind words re my friend - we are really close so I'll get over it soon, but I'll probably make sure I don't bring up TTC anymore. I kind of hope he woke up this morning, remembered his rant, and has felt really bad about it all day.
