R/R: I guess it's kind of hump day since I only work through tomorrow? The most demanding partner I work told me not to do any work for him over the holiday weekend, so that was a pleasant surprise! Just need to be productive today and tomorrow so I can feel guilt free not working for 4 days.

Also annoyed that all my American counterparts are off this week so I can't get anything done since I need them for information about certain accounts. Why can't we all just agree to align all our holidays? Rave: My old dog is a jerk and it makes me giggle every day. She is a pom-chi (around 7lbs) and 10 years old. Our other dog is a 1.5 year old black lab that has serious food issues. We feed them separately and the lab knows she isn't allowed to touch the old lady's food until she has finished and walked away. The old lady has figured this out and now lays down on top of her food once she is done and stares at the lab like 'what are you going to do about it? Can't touch me or mom will get mad." Its about the only area where she has the power to bully the young one since she is way bigger and she takes full advantage. Eventually I make her come see me for a snuggle and let the pup eat the remnants but it gives me joy to watch it play out every day.
CS/Q: Huge temp drop today. Our room was a bit cold so I'm thinking that was probably it. If temps go back to normal the next few days before O (which I am expecting in 4ish days) I will likely discard this one.
@nitnat007 Love this GTKY! My sister & I did Glamor Shots back in the day. Off to see if I can find an authentic one! I want to see the image of the cake, too! @legallykate yay for guilt free time off! @eleven_ What is Orange Theory? Exercise? Too lazy to google.... @lalala2004 every time I see your name I have an old school song in my head that has the “ la la la” in it. Ugh. Boy bands! FX you o today!

WAYDTGKU: Driving around every roundabout twice while chanting "rubber baby buggy bumpers"
R/R: Let's see... I'm still here. Sorry for not checking in over the weekend or yesterday... or Friday. So, appt yesterday went alright, not great, but not terrible either. The doc was nice and explained a lot. Sounds highly likely that I have PCOS. They drew blood for thyroid testing just to rule that out. The OB wants me to focus on losing weight over the next three months and see if that affects my cycles at all. If it does, cool, if not well... then we move onto the next step. Ordered some myo-inositol powder to try in conjunction with moving more and eating better. I've read a bit about it and it isn't proven to be effective but is suggested to be helpful in treating PCOS/PCOS related weight issues. Anywho, we'll see what happens. I'm not under any illusions that it's some miracle "cure-all" but if it could be helpful that'd be cool because I don't particularly like the idea of having to take another prescription med (especially since (under doc supervision) we're currently weaning me off my anxiety med to see if it's manageable either at a lower dose/without it all together). I'd do it if it's needed, but really don't want to if I can help it. I've had a few days of fertile CM so FX I finally poop an egg out of an ovary. That'd be awesome.

@elothair@jrm_14 Orange Theory is a gym but they do 1 hour classes focused on endurance and strength. You wear heart rate monitors and they said something about it being displayed on a screen so you can stay in your target zone.

I joined a Diet Bet (3rd one I have tried) and I finally did it!!! You have to lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks which is insanely hard for me, but yahoo! I did it!

@juliebird6 It's so expensive! I'm trying to get SO on board. $25 a class, $99 for 8 classes a month, or $160 for unlimited. It better be good. Awesome job on winning the Diet Bet! I have done one of those and it did work well. You should let me know if you do another one! I would like to join.

@legallykate Yay Hump Day! Really jealous of your short week. Nice that you wont be needing to do work over the long weekend too. Hey, we may end up being O day buddies! That glamour shot though!
@eleven_ Haha maybe. The cake is for my DSS who is turning 9. Minecraft this year. Last year was super heros. Hoping that is turns out ok. Good luck with that workout. Let us know how you like it!
@lalala2004 Oh those cats lol. Special! FX that today is O day for you.
@josie12367 oh no! Sorry to hear about the car dying. But new car!! What are you thinking of getting? Glad YH is only gone for a week this trip. Is he home for a while after that?
@elothair I am making DSS birthday cake, Minecraft themed. Don't have an exact plan, but basic idea floating around the head. Chocolate cake, blue jello, rice crispy squares of several colors..... And I agree, we should have the long weekend off too! I could use it. That story of your dogs is hilarious. I can just picture that going down too. Adorable!
@jrm_14 Ooohh I am looking forward to those legit shots. Did you go with a theme at all? Will post a pic on the weekend of the finished product.
@lurvleybunchofcoconuts We have missed you on the dailies. Glad to see you back! Sorry your appointment didn't give you conclusive answers, but it is good that you are moving forward and have a rough plan in place for now. FX that you are able to get things under control with more natural methods and small adjustments without major interventions. *hugs*

Month/Cycle: 5/7(+1ntnp) CD: 2 WAYDTGKU: Things. R/R: Dr told MH, “If you’re getting an erection and ejaculating, we don’t need labs- everything is good.” Dr did order the SA, though. . Whatever, I sent the exact CPT code to the doctor to make sure it is a complete SA & is covered by insurance. Seriously, WTF, though? CS/Q: Nada GTKY: Authentic, vintage Glamor Shot In spoiler.
R/R: I've been away for a few days. I've just been having a lot of feelings about cycle 6 TTC. Both optimistic and not. I'm hoping I'm just being a drama queen and that things will happen in the coming months. This month I have decided no BBT or OPKs. I just need a break and we basically know when we should be HIO.
@juliebird6 Wtg on the dietbet! I love doing them - definitely let us know if you join another and a bunch of us can do one together! @nitnat007 what is the jello for? I’m vaguely familiar with minecraft but can’t for the life of me figure out where hello works into a cake! @jsnakehole FX the Clomid works and you do become the asshole that gets ktfu first cycle! I’ve totally googled how to sway for a girl too. @jrm_14 Wtf? Where did that doctor get his degree?! @darkstar42 I find the TWW is always super quiet compared to WTO. I think a lot of people stay on this board a lot longer so the numbers get skewed in WTOs favour. @offtoneverland I’m glad you at least have some steps that may help - for me at least feeling like I’m doing something rather than just waiting makes me feel better.
@nitnat007 I'm glad you got in a workout and coffee date with a friend. Whose birthday is this Friday? YH? Can't wait to see pics! @legallykate Enjoy your long (hopefully work-free) weekend! @eleven_ I have heard great things about Orange Theory. Post an update on how you like it! @lalala2004 FX for O! Where are you headed tomorrow? @josie12367 I am so sorry about the car trouble! And yay for being off the bench soon. It's such a great feeling! @elothair Your glamour shot pic made me laugh! Also, sorry for the rain or for not being able to get much done at work without that information. Hope you can get in some extra bump time! P.S. Going to send you back a PM later today. @lurvleybunchococonuts I'm glad that you got into see the new doctor and at least have a plan--even if you do not have all the answers. FX you O soon! You are a trooper! @juliebird6 Awesome! Good for you! It is hard to stay motivated, so major props. Also, that glamour shot is AH-mazing! @jsnakehole GL starting the clomid! Do you have to work tomorrow or was today the last day of school before break? @jrm_14 What?!? Who is YH's doc? Sounds like he doesn't know much...but then again, I don't think most people know that much unless they specialize in fertility/infertility/RE or are on TTGP and learn a ton of info here!

@nitnat007 Love this GTKY haha @legallykate Hope you get some time to relax and not do work this holiday weekend! @eleven_ I've been curious about Orange Theory. Let us know how the class goes! @lalala2004 Hope your timing was good! I have family staying in our house the next few days and I'd like to start HIO. Not sure that will happen with all those people around. @josie12367 Exciting about the upcoming car purchase. Do you know what you want to buy? @elothair That's frustrating with work. I'm personally excited for a short week though. @lurvleybunchococonuts Glad to hear that you had a good dr appt and will start some testing. @juliebird6 Congrate on the dietbet. I tried one of those once and I didn't win it. Geez, losing 4% of body weight in 4 weeks was a hard goal for me! @jsnakehole Good luck with the medicated cycle! Your GTKY and waxing comment gave me a luagh! @jrm_14 WTH with that dr's comment?! Glad YH is getting the SA. @darkstar42 Awesome GTKY glamour shot! hahaha
@jsnakehole OMG that pi cracked me up! Corn smelling classroom of all things..... How is the kitty doing? @jrm_14 SMH that doc seems like a tool! I am glad that he has still ordered a SA test for YH though. Loving that vintage glamour shot. @darkstar42 Hi Friend! Glad you came over to say hi! Have been stalking you on the TWW thread and FX for you this cycle. @jaylii I feel you. That 6 month mark is a tough pill to swallow. How are you doing with not temping etc? I am going to ditch it temping after I have confirmed O for the same reasons. @elothair I am going to make water cubes to build into the theme. Should be interesting lol. @dukestar5 It is DSS birthday. He will be 9. We are going to "Get Air" (a trampoline place) for his party on Saturday. What did you make for dinner last night? Hope you have fun with your friends tonight.
@nitnat007 Yeah, 6 months, it's been a bit hard to accept. So far, I'm doing OK with not temping. I was feel really burnt out with temping every morning so this feels like a nice break. I usually have several days of EW CM so my plan is to go by my app and CM to determine fertile week.
@jaylii Temping definitely takes it toll. Some get used to it, but I definitely feel it comes with a level of stress as well. Do you have to wait for the year mark for any testing to be done or do you have something in the works?
@nitnat007 Are you thinking of pursuing testing or do you have to wait a year? I don’t have to wait a year. My dr seems open to getting testing sooner. I visited my lady doctor a couple of weeks ago because I’ve been experiencing lower abdominal pain. They did some blood work for thyroid, testosterone, LH, FSH and A1C. It all came back normal but I realized afterwards that FSH and LH should’ve been taken on CD 3. I’ve asked them to redo those tests on CD 3 and am waiting for a response. I also have an ultrasound scheduled for next week to address the abdominal pain. In any case, if we go another couple of months, I’ll pursue more testing, SA etc
@jaylii I have blood work on the cards for this cycle. Funny, I had to tell my doctor that FSH had to be done on CD3 as well. He didn’t think it mattered, but I asked to do it separately from progesterone, prolactin etc. MH has a SA scheduled for next month too. And waiting on an appointment for HSG to be scheduled. Sorry about your abdominal pains. FX for your ultrasound next week. Please keep me posted. And it goes without saying, I’m here if you ever need/want to vent/chat. *hugs*
@nitnat007 Thanks! FX for all the testing you’re doing. We’ll have to keep in touch because we really are at the same point of TTC. It’s kinda comforting to have someone else in the same boat. Feel free to PM me anytime!
@nitnat007 Oh you have to post pictures of the birthday cake! Well, we're not sure yet what we're getting. Since we have to have it shipped over, things are getting complicated. DH came home today to tell me about Monday's trip...so we won't have a lot of notice I think in the future either. I know he has two after the New Year. FX that you O'!
@legallykate YEA for a completely work free holiday, and for O'!
@eleven_ I had to Google what kind of class that was. Sounds really cool! I hope it went well, and you rocked it!
@lalala2004 I hope you did O'! Have fun on your Thanksgiving trip!
@elothair Your dogs sound too cute! I live in England, and I feel the same way about British holidays, and all the bank holidays! Haha!
@jrm_14 I'm so sorry about your appt. Your doctor sounds like...well, not a real doctor. I'm glad you advocated for yourself though. Did you get all your labs ordered as well?
@josie12367 It was Mh’s appt. As I was unable to attend and he was well aware at the very least he was to leave with a script for an SA. I guess according to his doctor, as long as we all have periods we should be good to go. The Eff?
*lurking from TWW* @lalala2004 We have the same first name! I totally came here to post that same cat photo and was surprised to find you'd already posted it! @nitnat007 I looove this GTKY today. So fun! I laughed about your vag being out of practice. Hahaha! @josie12367 So sorry about your car. And also that YH is leaving again so soon! @lurvleybunchococonuts I'm so glad you were able to get in to see your doctor and get some blood work done. I'm sorry to hear about the possible PCOS diagnosis. I hope that the myo-inositol will be helpful for you. @jrm_14. I'm shaking my head about your doctor's comment. Is he seriously qualified to be a doctor?! Ugh! Glad he ordered the SA anyways. @jaylii I'm so sorry you've been feeling down. Don't feel bad about it though, you are definitely not a drama queen! I hope your break from BBT and OPKs will be refreshing for you.
Ugh guys I'm a terrible bumpie lately. So so so sorry I never got back to do tags yesterday. I will be back and reapond on today's thread when I get the chance. I don't want anyone to think I'm ignoring them or that I don't appreciate all the love and support. You ladies are rockstars and I cannot begin to express how much your suppprt helps each day!

R/R: I've been trying to lose weight for a while now (like, perpetually I guess), and I joined all these weight loss challenges to try to motivate myself more. I joined a Diet Bet (3rd one I have tried) and I finally did it!!! You have to lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks which is insanely hard for me, but yahoo! I did it!
CS/Q: I have nothing exciting to say. Just here for the glamour shots.
GTKY: Google your first name + glamour shot and post one of the first pictures that comes up.

@legallykate Yay Hump Day! Really jealous of your short week. Nice that you wont be needing to do work over the long weekend too. Hey, we may end up being O day buddies! That glamour shot though!
@eleven_ Haha maybe. The cake is for my DSS who is turning 9. Minecraft this year. Last year was super heros. Hoping that is turns out ok. Good luck with that workout. Let us know how you like it!
@lalala2004 Oh those cats lol. Special! FX that today is O day for you.
@josie12367 oh no! Sorry to hear about the car dying. But new car!! What are you thinking of getting? Glad YH is only gone for a week this trip. Is he home for a while after that?
@elothair I am making DSS birthday cake, Minecraft themed. Don't have an exact plan, but basic idea floating around the head. Chocolate cake, blue jello, rice crispy squares of several colors..... And I agree, we should have the long weekend off too! I could use it. That story of your dogs is hilarious. I can just picture that going down too. Adorable!
@jrm_14 Ooohh I am looking forward to those legit shots. Did you go with a theme at all? Will post a pic on the weekend of the finished product.
@lurvleybunchofcoconuts We have missed you on the dailies. Glad to see you back! Sorry your appointment didn't give you conclusive answers, but it is good that you are moving forward and have a rough plan in place for now. FX that you are able to get things under control with more natural methods and small adjustments without major interventions. *hugs*
@juliebird6 Good for you on winning the Diet Bet. That is no small feat! That glamour shot is too much! Loving the gold astronaut.
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: I start Clomid tonight!
R/R: My class had our Thanksgiving feast today, so now my classroom smells like corn. I've also been being an asshole lately since I'm totally going to get KTFU my first medicated cycle, I've been researching how to sway for a girl. Please throw all the tomatoes and rotten fruit at me.
CS/Q: Nothing to see. I forgot to temp this morning because my little kitty was running amok. I also overslept because DH was watching 'Shameless' and it was keeping me up.
GTKY: pretty much me when I forget to wax:
I'm on mobile, but I'll reply to everyone later!

Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: Things.
R/R: Dr told MH, “If you’re getting an erection and ejaculating, we don’t need labs- everything is good.” Dr did order the SA, though. . Whatever, I sent the exact CPT code to the doctor to make sure it is a complete SA & is covered by insurance. Seriously, WTF, though?
CS/Q: Nada
GTKY: Authentic, vintage Glamor Shot In spoiler.
I love this GTKY! Hope it's ok if I play too!
@lurvleybunchococonuts I'm glad you got to see the doc and have a plan to move forward, but bummer if you are dealing with PCOS.
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: PNV, RRLT
R/R: I've been away for a few days. I've just been having a lot of feelings about cycle 6 TTC. Both optimistic and not. I'm hoping I'm just being a drama queen and that things will happen in the coming months. This month I have decided no BBT or OPKs. I just need a break and we basically know when we should be HIO.
CS/Q: None
GTKY:
@nitnat007 what is the jello for? I’m vaguely familiar with minecraft but can’t for the life of me figure out where hello works into a cake!
@jsnakehole FX the Clomid works and you do become the asshole that gets ktfu first cycle! I’ve totally googled how to sway for a girl too.
@jrm_14 Wtf? Where did that doctor get his degree?!
@darkstar42 I find the TWW is always super quiet compared to WTO. I think a lot of people stay on this board a lot longer so the numbers get skewed in WTOs favour.
@offtoneverland I’m glad you at least have some steps that may help - for me at least feeling like I’m doing something rather than just waiting makes me feel better.
@legallykate Enjoy your long (hopefully work-free) weekend!
@eleven_ I have heard great things about Orange Theory. Post an update on how you like it!
@lalala2004 FX for O! Where are you headed tomorrow?
@josie12367 I am so sorry about the car trouble! And yay for being off the bench soon. It's such a great feeling!
@elothair Your glamour shot pic made me laugh! Also, sorry for the rain or for not being able to get much done at work without that information. Hope you can get in some extra bump time! P.S. Going to send you back a PM later today.
@lurvleybunchococonuts I'm glad that you got into see the new doctor and at least have a plan--even if you do not have all the answers. FX you O soon! You are a trooper!
@juliebird6 Awesome! Good for you! It is hard to stay motivated, so major props. Also, that glamour shot is AH-mazing!
@jsnakehole GL starting the clomid! Do you have to work tomorrow or was today the last day of school before break?
@jrm_14 What?!? Who is YH's doc? Sounds like he doesn't know much...but then again, I don't think most people know that much unless they specialize in fertility/infertility/RE or are on TTGP and learn a ton of info here! (Also, re: authentic glamour shot: adorbs!! )
@darkstar42 Love it!
Month/Cycle: 7/8 (1 benched)

WAYDTGKU: waiting for AF to leave, PNVs,
R/R: We hosted a family dinner last night and everything turned out yummy. Some girlfriends are coming over later to hang out--we plan to enjoy some wine and catch up before the craziness of Thanksgiving.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Google your first name + glamour shot and post one of the first pictures that comes up.
Eek! Such a fun one. Will come back to post it when I remember the steps to add my gif.
@legallykate Hope you get some time to relax and not do work this holiday weekend!
@eleven_ I've been curious about Orange Theory. Let us know how the class goes!
@lalala2004 Hope your timing was good! I have family staying in our house the next few days and I'd like to start HIO. Not sure that will happen with all those people around.
@josie12367 Exciting about the upcoming car purchase. Do you know what you want to buy?
@elothair That's frustrating with work. I'm personally excited for a short week though.
@lurvleybunchococonuts Glad to hear that you had a good dr appt and will start some testing.
@juliebird6 Congrate on the dietbet. I tried one of those once and I didn't win it. Geez, losing 4% of body weight in 4 weeks was a hard goal for me!
@jsnakehole Good luck with the medicated cycle! Your GTKY and waxing comment gave me a luagh!
@jrm_14 WTH with that dr's comment?! Glad YH is getting the SA.
@darkstar42 Awesome GTKY glamour shot! hahaha
@jrm_14 SMH that doc seems like a tool! I am glad that he has still ordered a SA test for YH though. Loving that vintage glamour shot.
@darkstar42 Hi Friend! Glad you came over to say hi! Have been stalking you on the TWW thread and FX for you this cycle.
@jaylii I feel you. That 6 month mark is a tough pill to swallow. How are you doing with not temping etc? I am going to ditch it temping after I have confirmed O for the same reasons.
@elothair I am going to make water cubes to build into the theme. Should be interesting lol.
@dukestar5 It is DSS birthday. He will be 9. We are going to "Get Air" (a trampoline place) for his party on Saturday. What did you make for dinner last night? Hope you have fun with your friends tonight.
Edited to add more content
Sorry about your abdominal pains. FX for your ultrasound next week. Please keep me posted.
And it goes without saying, I’m here if you ever need/want to vent/chat. *hugs*
@dukestar5 Kansas to see the inlaws
@josie12367 car shopping time!
I must confess I posted the second photo that came up. First was Lauren Bacall (guess my name? Lol) but cat lady was way more fun.
@legallykate YEA for a completely work free holiday, and for O'!
@eleven_ I had to Google what kind of class that was. Sounds really cool! I hope it went well, and you rocked it!
@lalala2004 I hope you did O'! Have fun on your Thanksgiving trip!
@elothair Your dogs sound too cute! I live in England, and I feel the same way about British holidays, and all the bank holidays! Haha!
@jrm_14 I'm so sorry about your appt. Your doctor sounds like...well, not a real doctor. I'm glad you advocated for yourself though. Did you get all your labs ordered as well?
@lurvleybunchococonuts YGPM....well, you will in a few minutes
@juliebird6 Congrats on your success! That's awesome!
@Jsnakehole FX that this Clomid round is the only one you'll ever need
@jaylii ((hugs)) seeing your numbers climb is never easy...Hope your break from BBT/OPKs allows you to destress a little bit
@dukestar5 YES! Thank you! I'm happy to be back in the game (sort of) too! Hope you had/have a great girl's night!
@lalala2004 We have the same first name! I totally came here to post that same cat photo and was surprised to find you'd already posted it!
@nitnat007 I looove this GTKY today. So fun! I laughed about your vag being out of practice. Hahaha!
@josie12367 So sorry about your car. And also that YH is leaving again so soon!
@lurvleybunchococonuts I'm so glad you were able to get in to see your doctor and get some blood work done. I'm sorry to hear about the possible PCOS diagnosis. I hope that the myo-inositol will be helpful for you.
@jrm_14. I'm shaking my head about your doctor's comment. Is he seriously qualified to be a doctor?! Ugh! Glad he ordered the SA anyways.
@jaylii I'm so sorry you've been feeling down. Don't feel bad about it though, you are definitely not a drama queen! I hope your break from BBT and OPKs will be refreshing for you.
I want to play the glamour shot game too!
