WAYDTGKU: Benched.
R/R: Big temp spike today so pretty sure I Oed yesterday finally. Hooray! Lazy day here full of laundry and packing for my work trip tomorrow. I made crepes for breakfast and they were delicious!
GTKY: I would choose never having to pay for food at restaurants. With our jobs, we wouldn't be able to travel a ton, but we go out to eat pretty often and it would be awesome to save money on that!

WAYDTGKU: Realistically, waiting for our first RE appointment on 11/30.
R/R: AF is here with a vengeance this morning...I may spend the entire day on our couch with a heat pack and a book. We have mulling spices to make spiced cider with, too!
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: I would love to travel more, so the ticket is really tempting...but I’d want DH to come along and it would be kind of sad if he always had to fly coach while I was in First Class. Let’s say the restaurant one and I can put the money we’d save towards our travel fund!
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: The usual things. Started POAS again.
R/R: Rant: The weekend is halfway over. Second rant, we're still waiting on the SA results for H. I've been trying really hard not to spin into a spiral of what if H has poor motility and I only have one tube. Would really just like those results at this point. Rave:...It's sunny out right now.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: The unlimited first class tickets, hands down! We always find money to eat out for some reason but would love to travel more (and in style). I can take off whenever I want and H has a pretty decent PTO accumulation so it'd be great to go all the places we want. We just got one of those push pin maps, we could start checking stuff off.
@offtoneverland Congrats on O! One step closer to being back in the game! Doing anything fun while away on your work trip?
I’ll likely be switching between a few different books today: I’m rereading a nonfiction book about Thurgood Marshall after seeing the movie Marshall yesterday (so good!) and am also in the middle of Righteous by Joe Ide, a mystery set in LA featuring a Sherlock Holmes-inspired African-American sleuth. I loved the first one in the series!
@SkilledSailor I hope you hear something soon!
@offtoneverland will you be off the bench after this cycle? Either way, hooray for O!
Month/Cycle: 3/1
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: The usual
R/R: Got an early start this morning so my busy day doesn't seem quite as stressful, but when I saw the email for children's church curriculum she made mention of people having trouble in class. (I'm subbing for someone). My guess is that some people just aren't experienced with rowdy children (and I am) so I hope they aren't too much trouble for me!
I don't work tonight, so sex will happen!
CS/Q: Does anyone have a lot of days of dark OPKs before getting a true positive? This is my first cycle using them, so I have no idea what to expect.
GTKY: Would you rather have an unlimited international first class ticket or never have to pay for food at restaurants?
Food! I like traveling, but it's too stressful to do all the time. But I always eat. I would eat so much lobster.
@Augusta108 So sorry for cd 1. Snuggling on the couch all day sounds like the perfect way to cope.
@SkilledSailor Sorry you're still waiting on the SA results! Will they post the results to a patient portal, or are you waiting for a phone call?
@lalala2004 Yay for sexytime tonight!
----------------------------
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: letrozole + ovidrel trigger + IUI
R/R: Monitoring appointment in an hour! I have no idea what to expect, so I'm feeling a little anxious. MH and I are going to the gym after the appointment, and then probably trying to get more work done. We're trying to bribe ourselves to get work done with a movie tonight. Thinking of seeing Murder on the Orient Express.
CS/Q: Nothing much happening.
GTKY: Would you rather have an unlimited international first class ticket or never have to pay for food at restaurants?
First class ticket, as long as MH could have one too! We both teach, so we'd have plenty of time to travel in the summer and over winter and spring breaks.
@darkstar42, I hope the monitoring appointment goes well! Let us know how the movie is if you go...I was initially really interested in seeing Murder on the Orient Express but the reviews have put me off a little bit. I’m curious to know what non-critics think!
@SkilledSailor I can't believe you're still waiting on the SA results. I hope that you get them soon. I can't imagine how anxious you are waiting for the results! Did any of your clients pay up yet?! Hope you're not still waiting on that too.
@lalala2004 Yep, I'll be off the bench next cycle. Can't wait to get this show on the road.
@darkstar42 Sending good vibes your way for your monitoring appointment! Hope you get some work done later so you can see a movie.

WAYDTGKU: Still stimming for IVF round 2. Monitoring in the morning again.
R/R: So I'm still feeling really affected by the stims and basically on the couch. Again. Yesterday managed to go to the supermarket. Today managed to do a few loads of washing. Otherwise snoozing and watching series and reading. Need to be fit for the next days at work so I am ready for the day off for ER. Though still have to get the green light for ER. This time I'm so aware of every step that could go wrong, I can feel the stress levels rising before each appointment.
CS/Q: My CBAD has detected the Estrogen rise yesterday and no LH rise which is good as I shouldn't see one until after I take the trigger.
GTKY: Would you rather have an unlimited international first class ticket or never have to pay for food at restaurants?
If it's tickers for me and DH then I would take the the tickets. I have so many friends spread all over the world that it would be great to be able to join them for all special occasions without a second thought for the money. And flying first class makes a big difference to being able to handle a 2-3 day long haul trip.
If it's only one ticket, then the free restaurant option would be ok.
@darkstar42 good luck at the monitoring today. And even if things aren't what you expect, it's all about learning about how you're responding.
@lalala2004 hope the class is not too wild!
@skilledsailor hope you can get those SA results tomorrow. We had full results back inside a week, and only had to wait that long as the doctor was on vacation and wanted to review them before we were told. Keeping fx they come back good.
@augusta108 sorry to see you over here in WTO. Make the most of your couch day.
@offtoneverland fx you did O and will be off the bench in two weeks!

@Augusta108 Sorry about AF. Hopefully the RE can help make things happen for you!
@SkilledSailor How long does it usually take to get the results from a SA? Hopefully they come in soon!
@lalala2004 I usually get a few days of really close to positive OPKS and then 2-3 days of actual positives. FX you get your positive soon!
@darkstar42 Good luck at your appointment, let us know how it goes!
@emmasemm I hope you get lots of rest today and can find something to do to relax and try and take your mind off the possible ways for things to go wrong.
Month/Cycle: 9/14
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R: Rant: I am too old for alcohol. I drank enough last night to enjoy myself and then am reminded today why I never drink. Rave: Quiet day today - might be going to MILs for tea this afternoon but otherwise hoping to stay in and relax.
CS/Q: Not today - had a spike this morning in temp but I'm chalking it up to the booze and discarding it.
GTKY: Would you rather have an unlimited international first class ticket or never have to pay for food at restaurants? Probably the first class ticket - there are so many places I'd like to see and know I will be too cheap to pay for, especially first class! Whereas because restaurant meals come in smaller amounts I am more apt to pay for those without making a fuss.
@Augusta108 Thanks! It doesn’t look like we’ll make it to the movies today, but hopefully soon! We have to get some yardwork done before it really starts snowing.
@offtoneverland Thanks for the good vibes! Unfortunately yardwork is taking the place of movie time. Oh well.
@emmasemm Sorry the stims are affecting you so much still! I hope taking things easy today helps. I’ll be thinking of you! My monitoring went well – update below.
@elolin Sorry you’re feeling the alcohol today! That doesn’t sound like fun.
AFM, my monitoring went well! I guess the extra spotting I had after AF didn’t really mean much, because my lining was thick and I have two follies ready to go, one on each side. One is 17mm and the other 18mm. I’m supposed to trigger tonight (yikes!) and my IUI is scheduled for Tuesday at 10:30am. The timing is actually as good as it gets for MH and I, because he starts work a bit later on Tuesdays anyway, so he won’t have to get a sub, and I don’t teach on Tuesdays. I probably need to be at work for an event at noon, but I might be able to get someone to cover for me and just take the day off to rest. I’m a little freaked out about giving myself a shot tonight (or having MH do it), but hopefully it’ll be easier than I expect!
Plus just goes to show how right you were to push for monitoring a day earlier!
Keeping my fx for you that this works like magic :-)

@lalala2004 Yay for a good end to a busy day! And yes, I do get a few days of dark OPKs before getting a positive. Some people get more than one positive, but I have a short LH surge and usually only can catch it in a 12 hour period.
@darkstar42 @elolin Not sure, we've been checking the portal. H called on Monday and was told they meant 7-10 business days, not 7 days. But it's been 10 business days as of Friday.
@offtoneverland Great memory! Half of the clients have paid. Enough that I don't feel quite so broke. Glad you get a full day to site see! It'd be shame to go all the way to London and not be able to experience it.
@darkstar42 Yay!! So glad you were able to go in for monitoring a day earlier than they wanted. What great luck on the timing!

R/R:
Rave: a restaurant in our new town has a similar sandwich to one I grew up with - the closest I've gotten since we moved out here 7 years ago.
Rant: a dear friend of DH's has been really sick for quite awhile and we don't think he will be with us much longer. He'll need to go down there next weekend (and he lives 7 hours away at this point). Hoping he stays with us long enough for him to say goodbye in person.
CS/Q: nothing here, should be gearing up to O at the end of the week.
GTKY: Would you rather have an unlimited international first class ticket or never have to pay for food at restaurants?
Food, hands down. DH and I are homebodies and aren't really travelers, but we LOVE eating out.
@offtoneverland - yay for O! AND crepes! Look at you all fancy, making crepes.
@Augusta108 - all the cider and fuzzy things for you on CD1.
@SkilledSailor - i can't believe you're still waiting on your SA results. I hope the lab's just backed up. and that you get those results tomorrow! i'd call them tomorrow if you haven't already. maybe they got them and just haven't called you back yet.
@lalala2004 - yay for HIO tonight!
@emmasemm - I'm pulling for you! creepy internet hugs. take care of yourself!
@elolin - you're never too old for alcohol, maybe just too old to consume SO MUCH alcohol. hope the hangover was brief!

@emmasemm I hope you feel better soon. Glad you get to have a relaxing day, but I hope you'll be feeling up for the work week so you can be productive. What is it you do for work? I can't remember!
@SkilledSailor Yay for getting paid finally!
@catlady2015 I'm so so sorry to hear about YH's friend. That is truly awful. I hope YH will make it there to see him this weekend. How is YH doing? That must be so hard.
