R/R: I slept terribly last night! One of the cats was being a pill and scratching things, and then I kept thinking about the IUI and whether it was going to work. Tons to do today, so hopefully I can get myself together and be productive!
R/R: yayyyy going home today!! Miss my hubby and my bed. I am insanely tired and My temps have been still up but a bit rocky. I think I'm also just really cold at night here because the hotel blankets are thin.
@darkstar42 FX for you! I love the GIFS. The bunny one is pretty much me everyday lol.
@nimmle FX for you tomorrow! I love your mood today hehe.
Month/Cycle: 13/12
CD/DPO: 22/10
Typical LP Length: 10 days. However, I'm expecting it to be longer this cycle because I took Clomid cd 5-9 and O'd day 12. I usually O much later in my cycle.
Timing: -3,-2,-1,+1
Testing: I tested this AM with SMU. BFN. I woke up at 3 AM to use the restroom and I tested around 7 AM, so I am considering my test SMU.
R/R: Rant: I have all the emotions today from my BFN. Rave: I am going to the doctor this AM for a progesterone monitoring appt. If I'm not pregnant this cycle, next cycle I'll take Clomid again and have a monitoring appt around 10 dpo for an ultrasound to check follicles.
CS/Q: Temps are still up.
GTKY: GIF your mood today.
Me: 28 & DH: 29 Married May 31, 2014 TTC 1 year Currently testing
@twodreamscollide I took clomid days 5-9 this cycle too but didnt expect it to make my lp longer. It is kind of throwing me for a loop. Was this your first cycle on clomid? I am sorry about the BFN. Hopefully the dr has good news for you today!
Month/Cycle: 25/26
CD/DPO: 30/14
Typical LP Length: 11
Timing: ok. +4, +1, and -1
Testing: took one with FMU this morning because pf a temp spike and still high bbt but it was a BFN. So confused.....
R/R: onlynrant is that this clomid has me all messed up and so unsure about whats gping on woth my body right now. My chart looks great but the negative test just throws a big wrench in everything.
CS/Q: I shared it yesterday in the chart stalking thread.
GTKY: GIF your mood today......i wish i could gif in here. I never mastered it last time haha

DS #2 born 4/25/12 BFP 2/2016 M/C 3/2016 @ 5 weeks Trying for #4 since 11/2015
Testing: No, temps continue to fall, waiting for AF
R/R: Rant: I'm just having a lot feels about where I am in the TTC process right now. I was telling MH last night that I never expected to be at this point, starting cycle 6. Can any of you relate? I do know that I have no control over any of this so I can't drive myself too crazy. MH and I are both trying to focus on healthy lifestyle. Hoping this happens for us!
Edited to add: I feel like a brat after reading everyone elses posts today. I do know that I'm early in this process, nothing is wrong yet, a lot of people are going through much harder etc. For me, this has felt like a isolating process where I'm stuck in my own head. Thanks for being always supportive, ladies.
@darkstar42 FX crossed so hard for you! @nimmle FX crossed for testing tomorrow. Glad to hear that you get to go home today! @twodreamscollide Sorry for the BFN. Hopefully, it's just too early. @busymommy23 Sorry that this first clomid cycle is throwing your body through a loop. Hope it gets easier.
@jaylii I sure hope so. I totally feel you on not thinking I'd be in this situation and just confused on where I stand for having to try so hard for this.
@busymommy23 I am so confused as well. Have you had any clomid symptoms during your tww? I've been crampy and bloated the whole tww. Luckily not tooooo bad of mood swings though. Yes this is my first cycle on Clomid. No news from the dr today, I just saw the lab tech for a progesterone blood sample. If there's a next cycle she wants to do an ultrasound at 10 dpo.
Me: 28 & DH: 29 Married May 31, 2014 TTC 1 year Currently testing
@twodreamscollide yes, i have had plenty of symptoms from sore breast and nausea to fatigue and irritability...all more so than normal anf never had during me tww before. I was extremely emotional around ovulation, so bad that i actually had to leave work early one day because i couldnt take it any longer. I called the dr after another temp spike this morning and they will do a blood draw if AF doesnt show by monday. If shr does show, i need to call in as they are going to up the clomid...which has me abit scared after this past month because of the mood swings lol.

@jaylii we all have those feels, no matter if we are early in the process or a few years in. I dont think anyone ever plans to go through this, but luckily there are places like this where we can talk, share stories, rant or rave and find people that are going through the same situation. Hopefully this will be the month for you! Fx!

@jaylii *hugs* I felt exactly the same way when I was hitting the six month mark (and even earlier than that, if I'm honest). I never thought this process would be so emotionally intense and draining. This is really hard, so give yourself permission to feel all the feels. The fact that other folks have been at this longer doesn't in any way invalidate the struggle you're experiencing. Be kind to yourself and feel free to pm me if you need to rant.
Month/Cycle: 1/1 CD/DPO: 24/9 Typical LP Length: IDK. Timing: Decent, I had my wisdom teeth removed the first day of FW. Somehow, it literally hurt my mouth to have sex...I’ll never understand. It made it difficult.
Testing: not yet.
R/R: Rant: At work, the kitchen has double swinging doors. I've known since I started here a few months ago that I was going to drop my lunch because of those doors. Today, I finally did it, but in grand fashion, I ensured to spill my hot green beans on my arm in the process. Now I have several minor burns on my inner forearm. Ugh. I hate those doors and my lack of coordination, and insistence to carry everything at once. Oh well. Also, I hate clients...one came in today and hadn't bathed recently. I felt like I was going to vomit the whole time he was in my office...
Rave: DH and I went to dinner last night at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for our anniversary last night and I have left overs. I don't know what he's eating for dinner, but I'll be having steak. I'm already dreaming of it!

@darkstar42 FX the iui worked, and you can get on the productive mode! @nimmle Hotel blankets SUCK. I have to bring my own anytime I'm going to be staying somewhere that isn't someone's house. @twodreamscollide Why would clomid mess with your LP? I thought only progesterone would do that.
AFM: Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 22/2 tomorrow should give me ch.
Typical LP Length: 13
Timing: -5, -3, -2x2, -1, 0 + 1
Testing: Maybe Thanksgiving.
R/R: Rant: 1. We have had ear infections and stomach bugs at my house, so I haven't been sleeping well or around. I'm sorry I haven't been here the last 5-6 days. 2. We have a game tonight, and 3 of my 11 girls are injured. Its from stupid stuff, and I'm really not impressed because we are playing the 'team to beat' in our league. Its going to be brutal.
CS/Q: No chart today, but how do you get a hyperlink from the app so you can link to it?

@darkstar42 so many FX for good vibes with the IUI - thats so exciting! I have a cat too that has been a rascal. Last night he climbed my christmas tree. @nimmle EEEK tomorrow is testing day! Girl - so many FX for you as you head into it! How was the travel home? @twodreamscollide *hugs* on the BFM. Let those emotions out, be kind to yourself. How was your appt today? @busymommy23 i'm sorry for your chart and tests not aligning. @Stargazer1lily How was your lazy, rainy day? @jaylii I dont think anyone ever imagines to be in the spot they are in and for things to not go the way they planned or anticipated. You are allowed to feel the way you do - your emotions are real. What are you doing to focus on a healthy lifestyle? @Bettyb1114 oh man, wisdom teeth pain is no joke!

Testing: Monday if AF doesn't show
R/R: So tired from working so many trucks and teams getting ready for Black Friday. Has kept my mind off of TWW to be honest and only think about it during down time before i zonk out from being tired. Rave: I'm so detailed, organized...a total Type A, and I have my store and team so ahead of the curve that they are sending me to another store Friday - Tuesday to get them ready.
CS/Q: Still nothing major. Feel bloated, gassy and twinges in my stomach. Almost think they are AF warning signs but i'm keeping FX here! For a few days there I had myself convinced things were looking positive since I was not exhibiting PMS symptoms and now they are starting to present and I'm starting to feel bummed.
@And846 FX crossed for you! Sounds like you’re doing awesome at work! MH and I are focusing on exercising more and eating healthy. We already cook quite a bit but are trying to eat veggie heavy meals etc Hoping I can lose a bit of weight.
@jaylii every January i do the Whole 30 challenge - it’s really a great way to eat clean,eliminate processed foods, dairy and sugars. It will reset your digestive system and energy level. Then go into the next month with a modified Whole 30. I find i always need to do a reset around July, or every 6 months after initial. The book/cookbook is awesome!!
