CS/Q:
GTKY, Halloween is Coming Edition: If you had to choose, would you rather be a vampire or a werewolf?
Re: WTO Tuesday 10/24
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: About to start OPKs, BBT, CM, PNVs, CoQ10 when I remember, pomegranate juice
R/R: Finally got my RE consult scheduled! It's November 30th, so we have a while to wait...but I'm glad to at least have it on the calendar. My rant is that I went to the dentist this morning and my mouth is still numb. Hoping it wears off before I have to work the public service desk at work!
CS/Q: Nope!
GTKY: At first I was going to say vampire because they're so much more suave, but actually I think being a werewolf would be less disruptive to my life. One day a month versus every day...Hmm. Also if I were a vampire I would never be awake when the library was open, which would be horrible for my reading habits.
@SkilledSailor Damn that latte sounds good! Enjoy that beautiful weather. GL with your appt today. Let us know how it goes!

Hmmm Vampire. Totes team Edward.
@SkilledSailor good luck this afternoon!! I also hope your appointment is productive and you get some answers. Also, care to share the apple pie spice latte recipe?! Sounds so delicious!
@offtoneverland nom pizza and garlic bread sounds so good.
@therealbitts that happened to me last cycle - and then sure enough a few days later I got a true positive. Stick with it. I think your LH can 'surge' or at least rise multiple times in a cycle, but perhaps not enough to trigger ovulation. I also think the amount of water you're drinking prior to testing can change the intensity of the line, and it could even be the test strip itself. Can somebody who knows more than me about LH surges and OPKs weigh in?
@Sarafuss good for you!! It's so great to hear ovulation success stories with healthy lifestyle changes!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CS/Q: had a whoosh of watery cm this morning - took me aback as I usually don't O until around CD20. Gunna break out the OPKs and start HIO just in case...
I think a werewolf, because you can lead a normal life for most of the month... plus Prof. Lupin is great.
@SkilledSailor Let us know how the appointment goes.
@nitnat007 I'm sorry you aren't going on the NY trip, also can werewolves be cute and cuddly?
@offtoneverland I love reading the books True Blood is based on...oh Sookie.
@therealbitts due you have date nights often with YH? when we were dating we scheduled every wednesday once we moved in together but i think it's a good idea to reinstate that ritual.
@Sarafuss way to go on the exercising and eating health for regular ovulation. That's awesome!!
@nimmle yeppers, Team Edward for sure
@canucklehead123 love the picture --so cute!
CD: 12 WAYDTGKU: IUI tomorrow!!! LH was 35.6 this morning. R/R: So much raving!!! Tomorrow is insemination day!! I'm excited, I'm terrified, I'm anxious, I'm trying to remain zen. It's my 4th IUI ever and 2nd this chunk of time we are trying.
CS/Q: Is this chart stalk and/or questions? If so... what do you suggest to take after O (or IUI in our case) to help implantation?
GTKY, Halloween is Coming Edition: If you had to choose, would you rather be a vampire or a werewolf?: Vampire all the way
@SkilledSailor & @Augusta108 -- so excited for your RE consults! My one piece of advice is ASK QUESTIONS. I have found that those who work in an RE office don't know if you're BRAND new to TTC with RE help or an old hat, so sometimes they don't give a ton of info. So ask! Say hey, when can I expect these results? What happens next? I've read this...what are your thoughts. Be your own advocate!
@nitnat007 -- LOL at cute and cuddly werewolf
@offtoneverland -- So sorry for your loss **creepy internet hugs**
@therealbitts -- I never turn strip OPKs, but when doing LH blood work my first month my levels were up and down like crazy until I actually surged. The doctor wasn't concerned and said it can fluctuate drastically until go time. FX that you get your +
@Sarafuss -- yay for O on your own!
@nimmle -- Ragtime the musical? How exciting!
@canucklehead123 -- Is that a unicorn tape dispenser? Amazing!!
@SkilledSailor & @nitnat007 -- see you ladies at TWW tomorrow!!

@offtoneverland I am so sorry about your loss. Be kind to yourself.
@Sarafuss fingers crossed it's O time! I agree with you on True Blood! I miss that show!
@nimmle what is Ragtime? I'm curious.
@Canucklehead123 thanks! Glad it's not just me! Congrats on your new house - we just moved a few months ago. That is such an exciting/stressful process. Champagne is my go-to beverage of choice - enjoy!
@blackhottamales yes, we try to make date nights a regular thing. I'd say we get about once per month. It's really good us since we get so busy with work/life. We are big foodies too, so it gives us the chance to get our food and drink on.
@luckypandas good luck with your IUI!!!!
@SkilledSailor hope your consult goes well!
@nitnat007 sorry about your NY trip! I can't remember if you mentioned it but was it just a random trip for funsies.
@offtoneverland sending you hugs!
@Sarafuss amazing that healthy eating and working out has done that for you!
@luckypandas HOLLA! for insemination day!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
@luckypandas good luck tomorrow! Fingers crossed this one is it!
@SmashJam I'm sorry you're sick! I hope you're feeling better soon!

@Augusta108 @SkilledSailor GL with your RE appointments!
@nitnat007 sorry about having to cancel your trip! When were you planning on going?
@offtoneverland sending hugs!
@therealbitts I’m so jealous you’re getting sushi, I can never convince DH to get it! Enjoy!
@Sarafuss keeping my FX for you!
@blackhottamales I’m with you on the reasoning for being a vampire!
@luckypandas GL and keeping FX for you!
@SmashJam ugh, that’s the worst! Hope the household feels better ASAP!
@blackhottamales Thanks for the log in work around that you posted in yesterday's WTO. It worked, halleujah!
@Augusta108 Are you also a librarian? Have we talked about this before? Sorry if we have, but waving hi to my fellow library worker.
@SkilledSailor Hope the RE consult goes well!
@nitnat007 Sorry to hear that you're cancelling your trip. That's a bummer!
@offtoneverland Sorry to hear about the loss. Thinking of you.
@therealbitts Sorry to hear about the weird cycle stuff. I've been experiencing some confusing stuff too recently. Enjoy your sushi date, that sounds awesome!
@Sarafuss Glad to hear that you are seeing such positive results from the healthy eating and exercise!
@nimmle That's cool about the Ragtime auditions coming up. I've never been drama talented but admire people who are.
@canucklehead123 Congrats on the house closing! Enjoy that champagne, girl!
@luckypandas GL with the IUI tomorrow!
@Hope you stay well! The amount of sleep you got last night sounds pretty awesome.
@luckypandas Yaaaaaay for your IUI tomorrow! Good luck! I've got everything crossed for you.
@Sarafuss That's great news that your body reacted so positively to the dietary and exercise changes. Did you make any specific changes or just some overall healthier choices?
@nimmle Hooray for Ragtime! I'm so glad you were able to sign up for it. Do you have to prepare to try out for a specific part, or will they just stick you in whatever role fits you best?
@canucklehead123 Congratulations on your new house! I don't think a glass or two of champagne will hurt in the long run. Mix it with your ute juice to make it a healthy cocktail!
@blackhottamales I've read a couple of the Sookie Stackhouse books and have been wanting to read them again! I'll have to see if they're available at my library.

@offtoneverland We had that same dinner on Sunday. So bad yet so good.
@therealbitts Sorry your OPKs/Ovaries are not cooperating with you. That can be super frustrating!
@canucklehead123 Apple Spice Latte: 1/2 cup warmed vanilla soy milk (milk of choice), 1/2 coffee, dash of apple pie spice (I get it from a spice shop downtown). Not as fancy as it sounds.
@luckypandas Pom juice is suppose to help strengthen the uterine lining. GL with your IUI!
@jaylii Yay for H getting back!
AFM and the RE: She was super nice but I completely blanked on our reasons for being there. Doctors make me nervous. Luckily our new patient forms had those questions so we did talk a bit about cysts and H's chem lab. TW Loss* She seemed optimistic about the CP I had in July *END TW So she doesn't think there's an issue with sperm but H has an SA scheduled for Monday JIC. We went ahead and did an ultrasound today and didn't find any cysts (and confirmed that I ovulated) so for now she's not worried about PCOS being a possible issue. I'm suppose to call on CD1 to schedule an HSG to check my tubes since I have had surgery in that vicinity. She's optimistic that nothing is wrong and we'll be pregnant before the year mark but these are the tests she wants to do for now to confirm that. Overall, I feel good about the clinic and her confidence that everything is fine makes me feel better for now.
@Sarafuss Great job making all of those changes to your diet and exercise. It sounds like it's really paying off. Also, thanks for the YT channel recommendation. I do most of my workouts via YT so I always love discovering more to try out!

Anyone else's BB's hurt leading up to, during, and after ovulation? Wtf beebs, can you figure yourselves out?!
@SmashJam @mrs_drc_rn @SkilledSailor it was just a fun trip as MH was going to be making a stop there mid-November on the boat. So we were going to make a trip out it. We will however be planning a trip to Italy for his HLTA next spring instead, so I’m ok with it.
@SkilledSailor so glad that you had a positive appointment with the RE. FX that she is right and you get that BFP before the year mark!
*TRIGGER WARNING
DH has a 9 year old son from a previous relationship and is now wondering if he is even his. Baby making is going to be likely be on hold while we deal with this difficult information and await the appt with urology (that's who handles male infertility at Kaiser).
