Re: WTO Tues 1/9
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: IUI today!
R/R: My car is dead, which is frustrating. It made it through the coldest weather, and pooped out right when it starts warming up a bit. Hoping it just needs a jump start and then will be ok!
C/S: nope.
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? Sushi!
CD:7
WAYDTGKU:bbt,cm,opk,hio
R/R: Crazy weather it went from super cold to possible rain on Thursday. I`m not going to complain though the milder weather is very welcomed.
C/S:nope
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo.
Month/Cycle: 14/ 12is (I have long cycles, so I'm guessing it doesn't track perfectly with how many months and I'm too lazy to go back and figure it out)
CD:4
WAYDTGKU: BBT/CM, Clomid. We are taking this cycle off from Clomid until I can get into an RE. I'm not hopeful, but after reading hours worth of threads on here I got pretty freaked out about taking Clomid from my Obgyn. I haven't been being monitored at all, besides day 21 blood work.
R/R: I'm sticking with the weather theme -- I'm so ready for snow! I live in a place where we should have a lot of snow by now, but it is just rainy and muddy. Plus we have horrible inversions when it is cold without snow.
C/S: Nope
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? That's tough. Probably Thai food, but don't make me pick what dish!
CD: 2...I think. Things are being weird.
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK
R/R: Had a fantastic gym date with a friend yesterday that's still got me in a great mood!
C/S: nada
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? Grilled flank steak with chimichurri and some phenomenal red wine. Or anything with GOOD buttercream frosting.
CD:11!
WAYDTGKU: HIO chart pnv
R/R: I made it to FW!!! Woohooo! Also we got a picture from our designer of samples of everything we picked for our kitchen laid out together, and it's going to look really sharp when it's all done. We're 5 weeks away from moving in!
C/S:
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be?
A ribeye steak with a twice baked potato, garlic bread and salad. Oooo and what @chopchop25 said, and a glass of red wine!
@Stargazer1lily Hopefully you won't get any rain!
@krissy2241 When will you be seeing an RE? I live in an area where we don't get snow, so you're welcome to it, lol.
@chopchop25 Have you ever had Swiss buttercream? Omg it's so good. I haven't made it in years, but I've been wanting to lately.
@galactickates Yay for FW! That's a good choice for your "last meal".
-----
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: The usual.
R/R: Rant - we've been going through initial testing with an RE for the last month or so. The last thing we need to do before the follow up for all the results is have DH get friendly with a cup. He's waffling on deciding when, and I just want to smack him
C/S: None right now.
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? I'm a bit of a foodie, and the place I live in now isn't a good food area. My hometown, however, is. So I'd probably say a cheesy beef plain with cheese fries from Susie's, followed by a hot fudge and caramel sundae from Margie's. Both things I've been wanting for the last three years since we moved, lol.

@Stargazer1lily We've had a lot of rain around here since Sunday, but it's been in the 40s so I won't complain about that. Enjoy the milder weather!
@krissy2241 Thai food sounds so good right now.
@galactickates Yay for FW! My cycles are longer (30-31 days) so mine won't be until next week most likely. That's really exciting about seeing the kitchen designs!
Month/Cycle: 7/5 (1 loss 1 benched)
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: OPKs & CM - Planning to wait to start taking the OPKs until CD14 unless CM starts being weird. I think I ovulate around CD 18, but I have no proof of that.
R/R: DH is going out of town Thursday so I invited a friend over for margaritas and I am really excited!
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? Well Thai food is sounding pretty good now, but I would have to say mild boneless buffalo wings from either Chili's or BWW.
*Edited because TB decided to reformat everything into one giant paragraph.
@chopchop25 good call on including that wine with your meal! and way to go for a good gym date! I need a gym buddy so bad!
@galactickates yay for FW!! good luck!
@dreamscapes_ I would def smack H for waffling. I get the hesitation to play with a cup but it'll be worth it!
@acciocoffee I am also debating when to start taking OPKs. Also jealous of your margaritas!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: pnv. charting
R/R: my neck/back is still so bad. I saw my chiro this afternoon and he did some adjustments but hes telling me I'll be more sore tomorrow before it starts getting better. He couldn't get over how tight my neck and shoulder and back is. I'll see him for a couple weeks.. I don't know when I should bring up the whole trying to conceive thing.
C/S: nadda
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? nachosss and a giant strawberry margarita!
@acciocoffee a margarita night sounds like fun
Month/Cycle: 5/6? I think...and I’m too lazy to go back and look
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: waiting for AF to exit
R/R: no rants today...it was nice enough to get out of the office for lunch today and so far work is tolerable this week!
C/S: nope
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? @galactickates do you want to have our last meal together? Lol +1 for steak and a glass - bottle - of red wine.
ETA bc the bump ate my first few tags!
@darkstar42 sorry about the dead car by yay for IUI, everything crossed for you that this is your cycle!
@Stargazer1lily I agree with the crazy weather, 50 degree difference from last week to this week
CD: ?? not tracking atm
WAYDTGKU: gonna let it be
R/R: Finally got my CD3 tests back and they aren't bad. So pretty happy about that honestly. I was kinda stressed that things would be really bad. Positive note!
C/S:
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? Tough one, but probably add me to the list, Steak, basmati rice, any veg, Chocolate mocha cupcakes for dessert! Red wine side

@darkstar42 I forgot about sushi. Damnit!
@stargazer1Lily We are having the same crazy weather, although roads were very icy this morning. I am hoping that temps don't drop too quickly after the rain.
@krissy2241 Good call on the Thai. Another good choice.
@chopchop25 Glad you had a great gym session! Girl after my own heart with that buttercream frosting. I am such a sucker for good frosting.
@galactickates Such exciting times. You will have to share pictures when you are done.
@dreamscapes_ My suggestion, you decide for YH when to get friendly. You have to abstain for a few days so you can tell him when it suits you to not hio over the FW. That is what I did with mine. He also wasn't overly thrilled with the idea. GL.
@acciocoffee Sounds like a fun night with your friend. Enjoy!
@kristah2 Gl at the chiro today. Really hope that it helps you. Be kind to yourself.
CD: 8 I think
WAYDTGKU: IVF
R/R: My scan this AM was so good! I have 11 measurable follicles, all growing together happily! ER is estimated for Sunday or Monday, so YAY!
C/S:
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be?
A really great grilled steak and a bottle of borolo
@darkstar42 sorry about the car! Glad it got fixed though!
@krissy2241 good call waiting for an RE. Hopefully you get in to see one soon
@dreamscapes_ why the RE so early (if you don't mind me asking)?
@galactickates that's so exciting! I can't wait til we move. I have an exact picture in my head of what I want for our forever house!
@dreamscapes_ ugh hope your hubs gets it together & stops waffling! Mine is similarly waffle-y.
@acciocoffee @kristah2 you guys are making me crave a marg hardcore.
Month/Cycle: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: DTD during FW
R/R: nothing much today
C/S: is it important to BBT during AF? I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the mail.
GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? Pizza. Cant believe no one's said pizza yet.
@flyingmombula - your temps can vary a lot during AF. People will temp all the way through for a complete chart, and to keep the habit up, but personally, I start after AF leaves. It still gives me more than enough data points to illustrate the lower temps of the follicular phase.

@Stargazer1lily Our weather has been crazy too! It was below zero, and now it was over 40 today. I think it’s supposed to drop again and snow in a couple of days.
@krissy2241 Yum, I love Thai food!
@chopchop25 MH and I made it to the gym yesterday for the first time in a while. Those gym visits are definitely great!
@galactickates Sounds like you and YH are having fun designing aspects of this house! I’m jealous!
@dreamscapes_ So sorry your car was totaled! I was rear ended last year and it nearly totaled MH’s car, but it was under the cut off so insurance paid to repair it. No fun to deal with! It looks like my car just needed the jump start. It seems fine now!
@acciocoffee Luckily the roadside assistance guy arrived very quickly and got it jumped right away! Pretty stress free, overall. Also, now I want boneless buffalo wings.
@kristah2 Thanks! I think the IUI went well. Now we wait… Sorry you’re having neck/back problems. I’ve had some pretty severe neck issues in the last six months, and it hasn’t been fun. I would recommend seeing a physical therapist if you haven’t already. Also check out the “treat your own neck” and “treat your own back” books by Robin McKenzie. The method has been studied extensively and there’s tons of scientific evidence that it works. It’s actually what a lot of physical therapists use, but you can do it on your own for a lot cheaper!
@nmbrcrnchr1 Getting out of the office for lunch is always good! I eat at my desk too frequently.
@nitnat007 I’m so glad your cd 3 labs look good! How could you forget about sushi? It’s so tasty!
@LJMoon6 Thank you!
@kiwi2628 I think I said this in the IF thread already, but I’m so darn happy about your scan today! What fabulous results. I’m so glad the new protocol changed things so dramatically for you!
@flyingmombula Looks like my car just needed a jump! Hope you can get your tire fixed/replaced soon! When I’m temping I temp all month to keep up the habit, but a lot of folks choose to take a break during AF and it doesn’t really affect their ability to identify their O date. Also, yes to tasty pizza! There is a wood-fired pizza place in my hometown that makes pizzas that are to die for.
@dreamscapes_ I made an appointment, but when they called me back they required that I have a recommendation/referral from my OB first. So I see her in a couple weeks and then hopefully it won't be too long after that.
@flyingmombula I agree with @catlady2015. I do temp on AF to have a complete chart, but I wouldn't worry about missing it. You should have enough time before O to still see the shift in temps. Also, pizza is definitely a close second!
@darkstar42 also never heard of those books.
Thanks for the suggestions! Time to start trying to handle this on my own too!!
@chopchop25 If you want, I can take a look through my notebooks and find the recipe I used and send it to you. It was pretty darn tasty. I also made French buttercream and at one point, there was a demo on German buttercream, which was just ridiculous in the quantity of butter.
@kristah2 He ended up making the appointment after confirming with the clinic as to what all it actually entails. If you don't mind my asking, what's your back issue? I've got one myself, so just curious.
@nmbrcrnchr1 We also had a 40-50 degree difference where we live! This winter has been bizarre so far.
@nitnat007 Yay for decent CD3 testing! I ended up just badgering MH until he called the clinic. Apparently he had some weird concept of what the test actually entailed. We also had to schedule it on a certain day because they only do it M-F, and we work funky hours.
@kiwi2628 I'm glad your scan went well! FX for a successful ER! We're seeing the RE early because of a long and semi-convoluted story. I don't mind explaining it. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18, but recently found out that the testing process is fairly involved. I remembered that the doctor who had diagnosed me didn't actually do any testing and just based it on my weight and my weird periods, even though I was a teenager and a lot of people have weird periods when they're a teenager. I'd never even had a pap at that point. So my current PCP sent me to an OB to get evaluated for it, including an ultrasound and blood testing over the summer. In the process of that (and determining that I don't have it, due to the diagnostic criteria), we found out that my AMH is very very low for my age, at 0.31. The nurse at the time told us that if we'd been trying already, they would have referred us to an RE, but to try for 6-12 months first. A couple of months later, in late October, I was referred back to the OB because a CT I'd had for chronic groin pain to try and rule out a hernia showed a 5cm "something" in my uterus. The first appointment was in mid-November, and then the OB I'd originally seen and had the appointment with was called to an emergency surgery on the morning of my appointment, so I rescheduled with another doctor in the practice the next day. That doctor told me that the "something" was in fact an ovarian cyst that they'd seen on the ultrasound back in July and didn't bother telling me about because "it wasn't big enough". I asked the OB about my AMH level and if it was even possible for me to get pregnant, given some of the things I'd read online. She flat out said no and I had a breakdown in her office. She asked how important having kids was to us (since my husband was with me) and we told her very. She admitted that we should have been referred back in July, given my AMH result, and gave us a referral to an RE then. They helped us hurry through a lot of the testing so that it would all be covered under my 2017 deductible, which had already been met. Just waiting for DH to do his SA so that we can get all the results. So... Yeah. long and convoluted.
@flyingmombula He did! He called and made the appointment, so he'll be doing it next Wednesday afternoon. As far as BBT, I don't know about others, but I don't do it during AF. I temp vaginally and would rather not deal with blood when I'm half asleep.
@darkstar42 They didn't explain why they totaled it, but we're honestly not surprised. And yeah, totally not fun to deal with. Glad your car is doing better now, though!
@krissy2241 That makes sense! I know the RE I'm seeing was able to fit us in pretty quickly, even with it being the end of the year, so hopefully you'll get in quickly!

GTKY: If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? A giant tub of chocolate ice cream.
@kristah2 I hope it eases up soon! Being always in pain isn't fun!
