WAYDTGKU: temping, PNV, OPK's, charting
R/R: Saturday morning and I'm at work. at least I work from home and will be spending the entire day in pajamas. Plus it snowed last night and I technically don't need to leave the house today!
C/S: nothing to see here, folks.
GTKY: As a metaphorical "EFF YOU" to 2017, what would you burn to clean the slate for 2018? My fat clothes! I lost 40 pounds this last year and burning them would be a big EFF YOU to my old mindset.

WAYDTGKU: Probably a medicated IUI.
R/R: Trying to get through to my RE's office this morning. Yesterday at my baseline they saw a cyst that is just below their cutoff for testing estradiol. After talking to ladies on here and doing some reading, I'm not comfortable continuing this cycle without testing, so now I'm trying to call them to get a blood test done this morning. So far I can't reach a human. Sigh.
C/S: Nothing to see.
GTKY: As a metaphorical "EFF YOU" to 2017, what would you burn to clean the slate for 2018? All my medical paperwork and bills.

WAYDTGKU: IVF#3 first night of stims tonight!
R/R: Back home :-) Have the worlds biggest headache for some reason. Also had a meltdown on the plane on the way home. In spoiler as TW kids.
Then after we landed and the plane had parked she stood up again and her father told her to say goodbye. And she asked if we could go home and live with them and her father told her no we will go to our own home. Then she asked if we have a little girl at home, and I said no, she asked why not, I said not yet.
They moved off the plane. And then I suddenly just burst into floods of tears. DH got me out as fast as he could and we took ten minutes sitting by the gate we arrived at for me to regain control.
All good now apart from the headache still lingering, but I guess it was just the last straw with everything else going on.
C/S: Nothing to see so far, didn’t temp as had a 4am alarm...
GTKY: As a metaphorical "EFF YOU" to 2017, what would you burn to clean the slate for 2018?
Probably a whole load of condoms and BCPs because when you’re infertile it really sucks to have spent almost 20 years taking them religiously to prevent something that anyhow wasn’t possible!
@darkstar42 hope you get through to your clinic!
@catlady2015 working at home in pjs sounds like the best kind of work!

R/R:Happy Saturday Ladies!!
C/S:nope
GTKY: As a metaphorical "EFF YOU" to 2017, what would you burn to clean the slate for 2018? If I could it would be my irregular cycles I would love to have a year being normal.
@Stargazer1lily Happy Saturday to you too!
@emmasemm - sorry for the meltdown. Burn up all the condoms, BCP, etc!
@Stargazer1lily - happy saturday! Fry the irregular cycles!

WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPKs, CM, RRLT
R/R: Really snowy day here but probably still going to get out. Need to pick up some things at the supermarket for Christmas and promised MH that we'd go to the gym.
C/S: No idea what's going on...my OPK yesterday on CD 15 had a squinter of a line. This is absolutely not normal for me.
GTKY: As a metaphorical "EFF YOU" to 2017, what would you burn to clean the slate for 2018? All the stupid pregnancy tests, OPKs and internet articles that I've read about TTC.
@darkstar42 Sorry to hear about the cyst. Hope you get through to someone today.
@emmasemm Sorry to hear about your plane upset. Glad YH was there for you and that you were able to get off the plane fast.
@Stargazer1lily Happy Saturday to you too! Death to the irregular cycles!
CD: 33
WAYDTGKU: All the things I can possibly do without medical intervention
R/R: Starting to feel a little hopeless about this cycle. I'm in a crap mood because of it too. My back is killing me and I've been crampy for over a week...it's just frustrating to have lots of signs like you might be about to O' and then nothing happens.
C/S: For entertainment purposes only
GTKY: I could start a bonfire with all the opks I've used...
@darkstar42 So glad your levels were good and you didn't have to cancel this cycle
@jaylii I hear you on the frustrating cycle! Hope you ovulate soon! Be safe in the snow!
@emmasemm Oh hun...I'm so sorry you broke down today. That sounds like an emotional rollercoaster of an experience. I'm glad your headache is better.
@Stargazer1lily I second burning irregular cycles!
CD: 1 I'm off the MFing bench!!!!!
WAYDTGKU: it's day 1 so...
R/R: Rant: I'm hung over and having the worst cramps ever. Rave: soooo happy to be off the bench. DH was really happy, probably happier then me. He said "Yes!! Now I can knock you up and not get yelled at by the Dr!" Before AF showed he said "why do I feel like your period is never going to show, you're going to get pregnant and the Dr is going to yell at me while you sit there secretly happy"

WAYDTGKU: thingz
R/R: Thank you all who answered my EOD question yesterday! Anyhow, it looks like I’m off to TWW (see CS/Q), hope to see you all there soon!
CS/Q: I actually do have a question today - sorry I don’t know how to make a spoiler, so see attached screenshot. If I got a positive OPK yesterday (CD19) and had a temp shift today (CD20) I can safely assume that my O day was yesterday, correct? (Sorry for stupid question, I just feel like 24 hours from LH surge to temp shift is such a tiny window, should it be longer?)
GTKY: Agree with everyone, burning irregular cycles! I wish 2018 will be so regular I can tell the date by my cycles, lol!
Finally TTC#1 as of 11/2017!
Thryoidectomy 2007, PCOS, disordered proliferative endometrium.
Month/Cycle: 10/10
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R: Rave: We get to go home tomorrow! It snowed a ton more than expected so we’ve been stuck at my parents longer than we had anticipated staying and I’m so ready to be home again and in my own space. On the upside I get to go to bingo tonight with my mom and I’m usually fairly lucky at her casino.
C/S: I got cross hairs on day 10 as my temp spiked but it coincided with travel which I suspect changed things somehow. Got a positive OPK yesterday and an even darker one today which aligns more with my (somewhat) normal O day so hopefully will see another rise tomorrow to confirm. If it was on day 10 our timing would not have been great!
GTKY: As a metaphorical "EFF YOU" to 2017, what would you burn to clean the slate for 2018? So many negative pregnancy tests, OPKs, and failed/wonky cycles! Hoping 2018 will be our year!
@catlady2015 Way to go losing 40 pounds! That is a huge accomplishment. Definitely burn those old clothes.
@emmasemm I'm so sorry for your emotional outbreak after the plane ride. So many hugs to you, friend. I can't even put into words how badly I hope that 2018 is your year.
@josie12367 I'm so sorry you're still hanging out in WTO. You'd have quite the bonfire with all your OPKs...really hope this cycle doesn't drag on forever.
@leafyarch I think it'll be hard for you to confirm O exactly since you only have a few temps. Ideally it'd be better if you started temping right after AF. Your O could have been yesterday or perhaps tomorrow if you get another temp spike.
@galactickates Get it, girl! So hopeful that this is your cycle now that you're off the bench. That's too funny that YH was worried the doctor would yell at him.
AFM I would add all my negative betas and HPTs to the bonfire. It would be epic if we could get together for a real bonfire to burn all this stuff.

@offtoneverland Hey friend! Yea....see my update. I'm one confused ttc'er at the moment. I want to burn it all! We could probably see our collective bonfire from the moon!
@elothair So glad you still have a shot this cycle. I love and hate when that happens! I have gotten "temp spikes" on the first day of vacation, crosshairs, the whole bit....And then actually ovulated later. Gahhhh! Frustrating...
@leafyarch I agree with @darkstar42 I would hang out here for a couple more days as that one temp could be a fluke. Typically you can O anywhere between 24-48 hours after a positive opk, but that depends on which part of your surge you caught. Most surges happen during the afternoon once LH builds up, but some have seen positive opks in the am or late at night. Or no surge was recorded, and then they O'd. So if you watch your temps the next couple of days to confirm, it will answer that question for you about when O most likely took place
AFM...update.....
Started feeling like crap last night. Like queasy, nauseated, and almost like a hangover feeling. DH was tired, and my opks have been negative, so we went to bed. Woke up at 3am burning up....temp was 98.78. Ugh. So we HIO at 3 am trying to salvage our timing. So question ladies, would y'all chart that as "AM" timing for the 31st? So bummed my opks didn't give me any kind of heads up this round, but equally happy this cycle is finally showing progress.
PSA: One Step cheapies from Amazon should probably be avoided!
We'll just end up staying at my parents and getting a storage unit but that's last resort if we don't find anything.
Timing wise I don't think it matters, but I try to be consistent. I mark any HIO sessions that happen before I wake up for the day as pm on FF. Some people probably do midnight, I don't. And yay for progress!!!!!
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: stuff.
R/R: I’m very ranty today. My muscles have been really tight in my back which suck because it makes me feel like I have to pee all day, which gets my anxiety going. I have weird health anxieties. Also, my house tht ive been trying to clean and organize all week is a mess and it’s stressing me out. DH says I’m ridiculous. Rave: my sister who lives in FL is visiting with her DH and they came over for dinner. It was fun.
C/S: no
GTKY: As a metaphorical "EFF YOU" to 2017, what would you burn to clean the slate for 2018? (thanks @darkstar42 for the idea!) Anxiety meds, psychiatrist bills, counselor bills. F U anxiety, stay the F in 2017...
@darkstar42 thanks!
@offtoneverland thanks! I know my month/cycle says 2/2 but we were ntnp for 24 months before that, and charting that whole time. My temps are generally very unhelpful until my OPKs start telling me something (I have no thyroid) TCOYF gave me temp shift notification
@josie12367 thanks! that was an AM positive OPK, in case it matters
Finally TTC#1 as of 11/2017!
