Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing: Trying to hold out til Monday

R/R: First snow of the year today! And apparently cold weather makes our crazy kitty want to snuggle. This is the first time he's voluntarily climbed into my lap and gone to sleep. Clearly I can't get up from the couch until he does.

CS/Q: Just continually telling myself that this is not a triphasic chart - it just took me a few days post-O to figure out that I should warm up my thermometer before using it.

You know you're ttgp when you start noticing car license plates that have accidental ttgp acronyms on them (bbt, ttc, pnv).

R/R: It's Friday! We have absolutely nothing planned for this weekend for the first time since JULY! I'm so excited. We'll probably binge Stranger Things. I'll be picking up Eggos and colored string lights to set the mood.

CS/Q:

GTKY: You can take your temp in your sleep.

SkilledSailor · October 2017

@darkstar42 I’m glad you shared the warm it up tip yesterday! I had been wondering why my post-O temps were so low! Also, love your FTKY answer. I haven’t noticed those yet but probably will now.

millpe · October 2017

Month/Cycle: 10/11

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: good

Testing: nope

R/R: Today is the day! DHs urology appointment! I am suddenly so nervous. Hoping we get some answers and a plan to move forward. I would love to be able to do something next cycle, but I am not holding my breath either. I know DH is nervous too. Last night he said "so I'm just supposed to go there and say what? Apparently I don't make enough sperm?". I said well hopefully he already knows that because he should have your results.. I am getting off early today to go with!

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Inspired by the "You're not pregnant" thread, finish this sentence: You know you're ttgp when... checking your CM is a daily occurrence.

I remember when one of my friends was getting married in the Catholic Church and had to take a class on natural family planning. She told me all about how to tell when your most fertile based on your CM - I thought she was crazy! I also thought it was crazy that you would actually touch it to check how stretchy it was. Look how's laughing now...

nitnat007 · October 2017

@darkstar42 Oh no snow already! I really need to get my tires switched. And nope, definitely cant get up until kitty moves.

@SkilledSailor Sounds like fabulous weekend plans.

@MrsMiller8588 Will be thinking of you guys today! FX that you get some answers and a plan! Let us know how it goes. (hugs)

R/R: It is Friday! I am going in for a mobility session at lunch with my trainer to try and get some decent stretching in. So looking forward to it.

CS/Q: Contemplating stopping temping for the rest of the cycle so I don't drive myself crazy.

GTKY: Inspired by the "You're not pregnant" thread, finish this sentence: You know you're ttgp when...you read every label, you know, just in case.

millpe · October 2017

@darkstar42 Now I am going to have to look at license plates!! We had flurries here yesterday, but nothing that stuck. How much snow are you getting?

@SkilledSailor Enjoy your relaxing weekend! I've still never watched stranger things...

darkstar42 · October 2017

@SkilledSailor I'm so excited for Stranger Things! We're holding out to watch it on Halloween with friends though, so no spoilers! License plates here are three numbers, a space, and then three letters, so it makes noticing the acronyms easy.

@MrsMiller8588 Fx YH's appointment goes well today! I'm glad you get to go with him. Make sure to ask them how you can contact them to ask more questions after the appointment! We're supposed to get between 1 and 3 inches of snow, but it's too warm for the snow to stick.
@nitnat007 Yep, I have to buy snow tires still. Hopefully we won't get any serious snow for another few weeks, but it's probably time to get the tires! Enjoy your mobility session! That sounds great.

millpe · October 2017

@darkstar42 and @nitnat007 Add me to the list that needs new tires! I've never gotten actual snow tires, but mine are practically bald now and one is leaking

@MrsMiller8588 - FX for good news at the urology appt!

@nitnat007 - Guilty for label reading

shortstack930 · October 2017

@darkstar42 I miss snow!!!
@SkilledSailor yesss Stranger Things!!
@MrsMiller8588 good luck with the appointment today!
@nitnat007 hope you have a good session!

Month/Cycle: 23/23

CD/DPO: 21/9

Timing: -3, -1, IUI on O

Testing: 14 dpo

R/R: I seriously cannot get warm today. It's not even that cold outside (55 degrees) but I am layered up and drinking hot coffee and still freezing. Also, I'm exhausted because I've worked two extra shifts this week and I have to go back in tonight for my normal shift. Although the extra money will be nice...

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Inspired by the "You're not pregnant" thread, finish this sentence: You know you're ttgp when...
you could stock a Walgreens with the amount of OPKs you have on hand.

SkilledSailor · October 2017

@mrsmiller8588 Please update us when you get back from the urologist! Do you have a busy work day to make the time go by faster?

@nitnat007 That sounds like a great way to spend the lunch break. Are you focusing on any area in particular?

@darkstar42 Haha ok, no spoilers. Are you the one that recommended Mindhunter? We finished that season in less than 48 hours. LOVED it.

@luckypandas Haha I do know my CD days pretty darn well these days. When do you leave for camping?

@shortstack930 It was super cold (to me) this morning as well. I actually turned the heat on for a bit. Are you a nurse?

mrs_drc_rn · October 2017

@darkstar42 I’m jealous, I can’t wait for some snow! Our weather is still all screwy with it being cold in the morning but warm in the afternoon.

@SkilledSailor haha awesome idea to have eggos and string lights!

@MrsMiller8588 hoping YH’s appointment goes well today!

@nitnat007 enjoy the mobility session! Stretching is something I need to take the time to start doing every week.

@shortstack930 ugh, I hope you get a day off soon! I can’t get myself motivated to do OT lately. I’m holding out a little bit because I know we’ll be slammed once flu season really kicks in.

Month/Cycle: 13/5 (benched with an open myomectomy in February)

CD/DPO: 19/3

Timing: -4, -3, -1, +1

Testing: Long ways to go.

R/R: Excited to be having friends over to watch Stranger Things tonight but not thrilled at having to clean the house by myself today! Whatever, I’m treating myself to sushi for lunch!

CS/Q: I got nothin’

GTKY: Inspired by the "You're not pregnant" thread, finish this sentence: You know you're ttgp when...
When it seems like you’re constantly buying vitamins, tea and OPKs.

ETA: forgot my GTKY!

shortstack930 · October 2017

@SkilledSailor I'm a wimp and I've had the heat on for weeks now lol. I'm not a nurse, I'm a medical technologist (so I work in the lab) but I'm actually going back to school for nursing soon!

mrs_drc_rn · October 2017

@shortstack930 good luck! I went back to school for nursing after working in a different field. There’s so much BS you have to deal with but it really is worth it!

GTKY: Inspired by the "You're not pregnant" thread, finish this sentence: You know you're ttgp when...
You poke yourself directly in the nipples and when it hurts you tell yourself it means you're pregnant.

darkstar42 · October 2017

@SkilledSailor I did recommend Mindhunter! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

@mrs_drc_rn Enjoy your sushi!

@coco2787 Totally snort laughed at your GTKY! I may have done that this morning…

shortstack930 · October 2017

@mrs_drc_rn thanks!! It'll be a long road but it'll definitely be worth it in the end!

nitnat007 · October 2017

@MrsmIller8588 @darkstar42 I fortunately have studs on mine, but I can't put them on until November sometime. As soon as the first snow flies here, the place is going to be a mad house. I should probably make that appointment now.

@luckypandas Agreed! I was never so aware of my cycle and where I was in it before.

@shortstack930 It was a great session, thanks! That is a lot of extra work. FX that it is smooth sailing tonight.

@skilledsailor We worked on my quads, glutes and hip flexors. I am extremely tight in that area and have been struggling with movement and pain. I was able to get an a$$ to grass squat with little effort, when she was done, which has been unheard of for me. Granted I will likely tighten up again, but I will just have to keep working on it.

@mrs_drc_rn I am terribly at stretching and it is so important. Enjoy your evening with your friends! Boo to cleaning the house alone though.

@coco2787 Definitely done that before!

millpe · October 2017

@SkilledSailor My day at work actually turned into a work from home day - I got to work and out network was down! So home now and will probably quit for the day when DH gets home...

kindbytealikat · October 2017

@darkstar42 aww the kitty cuddles

, also you are supposed to warm your BBT thermometer ?
@MrsMiller8588 Good Luck for YH today!
@mrs_drc_rn I’ve had sushi twice the past two days, shhh don’t tell me doc
@coco2787 add my to nipple club except I generally do a good pinch

Month/Cycle: 3/3 (1/1 AL)

CD/DPO: CD 17 not temping but off CM I believe DPO 1

Timing: -3,-2, 0

Testing: I'll just be waiting out AF 11/10 at the earliest

R/R: RANT: *TW Kids* It's been descent in the 60's-low 70's all week. Today its 45 and cloudy, and windy, I wanted to take ds to this Halloween activity downtown this evening but ti's so cold and he is just over being sick. Darn the midwest we went from high 80's to 50's in under a week! *END TW*
Rave: I had cinnamon rolls for breakfast they were amazing.

CS/Q: Nothing to see here

GTKY: Inspired by the "You're not pregnant" thread, finish this sentence: You know you're ttgp when...
You check your panties and TP ritualistically and doesn't strike you that it might be strange.

darkstar42 · October 2017

@kindbytealikat You don't have to warm your bbt, it's just that my bedroom is super cold, and I figured out that my post-O temps looked low because the thermometer was cooling down the skin it was touching while it was taking my temp. So I've been either warming it up first or taking two temps and using the second one.

quiltandknit · October 2017

@darkstar42 I can’t handle snow right now.

@SkilledSailor @mrs_drc_rn @coco2787 Enjoy Stranger Things! I know so many people who are bingeing that this weekend!

@MrsMiller8588 Hope DH’s urology appointment went well.

@nitnat007 Your mobility session sounds fun.

@luckypandas Fri-yay indeed!

@shortstack930 I’m with you. Always cold!

@stargazer1lily Your GTKY is me today.

@kindbytealikat OMG cinnamon rolls are the best! Might have to make some this weekend…hmmm….now you got me thinking….

AFM: nothing exciting

Month/Cycle: 3/2 (1 benched)

CD/DPO: 27/8

Timing: -2, O, +1 (not sure if exactly when I O'd, could have been a day later than I think)

Testing: Must hold out until 14 dpo...

R/R: Raves: It's Friday!!!! So excited for the weekend, we have no plans and it's going to be amazing! I love weekends like this, I'll be able to relax, do some fun things, and be prepared for next week by the time Monday comes around. And we're supposed to have some lovely fall NE weather. Rants: DH and are having a battle over the thermostat. He turned the heat off and it's freezing in here tonight...only 60 in my house when I got home from work. I'm all for saving money on oil but dude...that's too cold!

CS/Q: no questions

suzycupcake · October 2017

@darkstar42 It is my understanding that as long as your room temp is consistent, it doesn’t matter if it’s cold.

Month/Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 11/24dpiui

Timing: y’all know my sex life by now

Testing: 10/29

R/R: My Dad has been saying that he’s gonna be around when I have a baby and he’s gonna spoil my kids

He talked about all of the things he would do with them. I’ve been recording his stories since last night. I’m so glad I bought a recorder. He thinks he only has a few days. I think it will go a little longer than that but I don’t think he has a month.

CS/Q: Nah

GTKY: Inspired by the "You're not pregnant" thread, finish this sentence: You know you're ttgp when... you start sneezing and fear it’ll disrupt implantation on 4dpo

millpe · October 2017

Okay guys just because a couple people asked here is my appointment update. It's in a spoiler in case it's long.

Overall it was a good appointment. DH was very uncomfortable and does not want to do the tests and appointments, but is doing it since we need to figure out what's going on. The Dr said he didn't feel anything wrong with the anatomy. He ordered a second SA as well as an US and bw. We scheduled a follow-up for results but the next available appointment was Dec 15. I feel like this is all going to take forever. As we were leaving the hospital DH said "I hope you are KU so I can cancel all these appointments". I feel awful that he is having to go through this and I wish it was me.

Also on a funny note, the appointment was at a catholic hospital, but the Dr ordered the SA for my main clinic. He said people have had problems and the nurse mentioned we would "have to poke holes in condoms" if we did it there.

darkstar42 · October 2017

@suzycupcake Generally speaking, you're right about temps. But when I say cold I mean it was around 52 degrees in the house last night, so my poor thermometer is trying it's best, but generally recording my temp around .4 degrees lower than it should be. And the temp in my room has changed a lot this month, so things are all over the place.
@quiltandknit Enjoy your weekend! Our snow isn't sticking, so it'll just be chilly this weekend with no snow on the ground.
@kindbytealikat Now I want cinnamon rolls. Did you make them from scratch?
@Stargazer1lily Regarding your GTKY answer... that's me, every frickin month.

darkstar42 · October 2017

@MrsMiller8588 I was about to PM you to ask how it went! Thanks for updating us. I'm glad the doctor didn't notice any anatomy issues. Can I ask what bw the doctor ordered? It sucks that YH has to go through these tests, but hopefully they will be able to figure out what is happening and treat it!

suzycupcake · October 2017

@MrsMiller8588 It does feel like forever with testing but before you know it, you’ll have a better plan of action. I’m glad YH went and got it done.

nitnat007 · October 2017

@MrsMiller8588 Thanks for updating us. Was wondering how it all went. Glad that they feel there is nothing wrong ananomy wise. Your poor husband. He is being a trooper! That is quite the wait for the next appointment, but you’ll have a plan and that is big.

millpe · October 2017

@darkstar42 I think it was testosterone, FSH, LH, and prolactin. They said next step will be genetic testing to look for a genetic issue. He also mentioned having him go on clomid, but those would both be after the follow-up.

kindbytealikat · October 2017

@quiltandknit THAT IS SO TRUE, I am tired of HIO!!
@MrsMiller8588 I've been thinking about you. Glad everything went well and that you have such a willing husband, I'm not sure MH would do it but if we have issues the issues isn't likely him anyway.
