Re: WTO Wednesday 01/24
CD: 0 (Beta was BFN and AF came but late afternoon)
WAYDTGKU: Prostituting myself around clinics across the world to make me seem like an attractive patient for them to take on, and this cycle trying on our own (list of supplements on request)
R/R: Monday I was sobbing, yesterday I was so so angry, today I am a woman on a mission. But a crampy woman. Biggest rave is my DH has been the most awesome support and said and did the right things at the right time. Got to love it when our men come through for us. I don’t know where I would be without his love and support.
GTKY: Well after spending a small fortune on re-plastering most of our house and then having it professionally repainted in a custom color (which is a kind of cream I guess) I am very reluctant to put up any paper, paint over in another color or even put anything on the wall. So I rather selfishly posted this GTKY in hope of some inspiration to bring color into our lives again!

CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: Eventually all the things
R/R: Feeling blah still. AF is for sure gone, but I'm already having back pain. It could be from sleeping on the floor for a few nights
GTKY: It's good ole concrete walls painted a cream colour. Not my favourite, but it's not our house, so it'll do!
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: PNV, temping, charting, OPK's, B complex
R/R: DH was all about getting frisky yesterday. Hopefully he can reel it in today and give those spermies time to mature.... he was totally unaware of the stale sperm phenomenon AND that lotsa sex can bring down his sperm count. We had this discussion last month and I'm hoping yesterday was about "cleaning the pipes" and he can reel it in a bit. We had to reiterate it last night.
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room? We're still renting, so I have kind of an almond white with some underlying gray tones? Not traditional renter's white, but definitely somewhere in that realm. I would totally paint my living room a very pale yellow when we get a house. I know it's not the most trendy color

BFP #1 4/23/18, blighted ovum 5/29/18
BFP#2 7/14/18, DS 4/5/19
@catlady2015 I feel like I'm on repeat too with my DH about fertility stuff. It's exhausting! Good luck on your timing and your FW!
@josie12367 Sorry you’re still feeling blah...but glad to hear AF is officially away!
@catlady2015 GL with YH tonight! Sometime they just get so “anxious”! MH reminds me when it has been almost exactly 48 hours...
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: pnvs, N&C EOD now, tracking cycles
R/R: lots of meetings again today...blah! No major new raves yet today, just trying to enjoy FW before the dreaded TWW.
GTKY: our front living room is a medium grey color which we love because it goes with almost any accent color. Our large living room is a light blue. It isn’t my favorite but MH likes it and it matches everything in there so I haven’t tried to change it.
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: bbt,cm,opk,hio
R/R: all the snow is out of the way and now we`re suppose to get rain on Saturday what is up with this weather?
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room? Real cedar board paneling.
@josie12367 I hope your back starts feeling better! I had to make my visit to Amazon this morning as well!
@catlady2015 Yay for your flashing smiley!! Husbands can be so impatient lol. Fx for you!!
@spartan4life I'm with you on the dreaded TWW. I guess we have to love it though, it's a time where we're hopeful anyway.
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, Charting, OPKs, Just purchased a BBT therm., N&C EOD during FW
R/R: No rants today! Rave: Excited to get my therm. and start temping. Hoping it will be helpful. I had a crazy cycle this month so, I hope to learn some more about what's going on.
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room? Our living room is a neutral tan color. I'm a big fan of neutrals!
CD: 15, whoop whoop
WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV's, should probably do the sex thing tonight, since it's been a bit.
R/R: My long-overdue Amazon package finallyyyyy arrived yesterday. And I realized I ordered the wrong size of bedsheets. Insert choice words.
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room? Hang on, I've got the paint chips in my purse. (We just moved this summer and repainted the walls, is why.) The entire house is Benjamin Moore Thunder (a greige) and the kitchen is Amherst grey.

BFP March 30, 2018 | EDD December 12, 2018
@josie12367 hope your back feels better soon!
@kimberbeep sorry about the car - glad you're safe and hope they close early! Yay for the pos OPK! We are asking the same question - we N&C last night, and aren't sure if we should go again today and tomorrow, or just one day, or take a day off even though we think it's pos?
@PensiveCrayon ughhh returns are the worst! anyone you can re-gift them to next holiday season and just order a new pair?
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 17. Pretty sure we got a +OPK this morning but temp is not down, nor has it really been since pre-FW, so going to re-check later today to make sure! Fx! And having the same questions as @kimberbeep on when to N&C. I really need to get my stress level down today for any of this to go well, though!
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, Pom Juice, N&C
R/R: None today, though it'd be nice to get a break from this rain.
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room? We never painted post construction, so it's just a bright off-white/beige color w/ some texturing.

BFP March 30, 2018 | EDD December 12, 2018
on here wondering...I have no familiarity with the OPKs, but when MH and I met with my OB at the beginning of ttgp she said that you can absolutely N&C too much! That was a surprise to us because we felt like we just needed to do it all the time. For what it’s worth, She said optimal sperm numbers and quality occurs about every 48 hours so to N&C every other day, not every day. Obviously everyone is different and I’m not a doctor, but that is the advice we are following (and MH does seem to be keeping track of those 48 hours
@PensiveCrayon I hate you got the wrong size bed sheets. That's the worst!
@chopchop25 Fx you are able to lower your stress! It's so hard! I'm trying to find a way to do that now.
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Sex.
R/R: Officially cd 1 today and I'm a bit sore from shoveling out my car from under a foot of snow yesterday. I have lunch with coworkers and then acupuncture later though, so that will be good.
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room? Pale green paint in the living room. It looks decent enough that we're not going to bother painting over it, given that this is a rental. MH is an artist, so any house we live in the walls are mainly covered with his work.
I'll be back later for tags.
@emmasemm sorry about AF and that you've been having a hard time. But you truly are blessed with a great husband!
@josie12367 yayy for AF finally leaving town. I think I also finished almost all my opk strips this cycle and will be turning to amazon shortly
@kimberbeep that is scary. hope you get home safely!
@PensiveCrayon I hate it when I order the wrong stuff. Im so lazy about returning stuff that most of the time it just ends up staying in one corner of the house.
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 22
WAYDTGKU: the usual
R/R: tested negative again for OPK just now although there was a temp spike in the morning. I don't know if I missed the LH surge when testing or the temp is a fluke. My BBT is always in the 96. range but hit 97 today for the first time. I did have some cramping/dull pain on one side yesterday. I don't know, I guess i'l check the temp again tomorrow and if it is still elevated I should assume I O'd?
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room?
just the regular renters white color.
@emmasemm I'm so so sorry about cd1. It's so f*ing unfair. I'm glad you have channeled that disappointment into action, it just sucks that it's not an easy equation. You can do everything right and still have your heart broken. I'm totally rooting for you, I just wish I could do more.
ETA
@nasah15 I wonder if you O'd since you had pain on one side?
*TW --- mentions pregnancy*
I had a melt down today after one of my best friends sent me a pic of her positive pregnancy test after a month of trying. This will be her third. I'm obviously super excited for her, but I couldn't help but break down. Everyday it's 2 pregnancy announcements and most of my friends have babies. I'm so tired of hearing "it'll happen", "stop thinking about it", "just have sex", "stop stressing".. and all other blanket cliches. I haven't been in this game long, but every month is heart-wrenching. I'm trying to do things to keep my mind of TTC, exercising, trying new recipes, reading... but it doesn't help much. Thanks for listening.
Love tits to all - I might be back for tags tonight. Today is crazy. P.S. I really want a cal king, more space for dogs! Lol
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: religiously drinking my pregnitude and marveling over my Clearblue OPK
R/R: nothing really, negative OPK again this morning (not stressing about it I’m not expecting movement until at least CD16)
CS/Q:
GTKY: my whole house is a light taupe color, didn’t feel like asking landlord if I could paint, it’s a nice neutral color anyway
Finally TTC#1 as of 11/2017!
Thryoidectomy 2007, PCOS, disordered proliferative endometrium.
Month/Cycle: 4/5
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: bbt, pnv, n&c, opk
R/R: Totally confused with this cycle because I got a decently dark line(but not positive) on my opk on cd7 and since then have been lighter. I usually O on CD11 so tomorrow but we will see. This is why I love the digital opk so theres no guessing but damn they are expensive!
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room? We have a very light cream color with a greyish blue as an accent wall.

WAYDTGKU: will start bbt tomorrow, got my opk at the ready and tracking cm which I have found to be the most helpful.
R/R:AF lasting a day longer than usual and I just want it to be over!
Also I have gained weight from a general not giving a toss/ feeling insanely sorry for myself. So I have brought salad to work for lunch and have plans to have willpower when I get home and say no the the wine and big dinner (opting obviously for a normal portion size). But it's summer and I am way too hot and grumpy and I am not sure how much longevity this so called willpower will have.
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room?
We rent so it's a kind of mushroom colour that won't be changing any time soon.
@meladams10 the platitudes are well meant but sometimes it would be nice for someone just to give you the secret for everything instead of a blanket "It will happen" which is a hard thing to swallow some days.
@lokibear89 I feel you on the not wanting to give a hoot and feeling sorry. But we've got to control the things we can control, while everything else is out of our hands! Good job w the salad - you got this!
@kobrien827 I'm with you in the confused cycle.
The blue tests and my own insanity are starting to drive me nuts - I feel like I had a darker line in the beginning of my cycle but it made no sense so I disregarded it. This morning I thought I had another strong one even though temps did not indicate that it was O time, but retested with a pink one at lunch (wanted to see if H should come home for N&C or go play basketball) and it was super faint. So upset that maybe this morning was a false alarm after we thought we were spot on for timing and now I just want to go home and give up on everything for the day.
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Left my job to try and get my cycle back, and she showed up today! First time in four months, ugh. I mean .. yay... but ugh.
R/R: AF came back
GTKY: What color paint or wallpaper (or maybe some oak paneling???) do you have in your main living room? Beige. We never painted when we moved in, lol.

BFP #1 4/23/18, blighted ovum 5/29/18
BFP#2 7/14/18, DS 4/5/19
I did another OPK around 2 today and it was negative! Negative last night (8pm), positive this morning (6am), negative this afternoon... I'm gonna consult the google machine - but I wonder if such a short surge would be considered normal? And of course, I woke up at 4am to pee, so my BBT is probably off since I normally temp at 5:30 - so if I had a temp drop, it was probably masked by me getting out of bed early!
@nasah15 Wow, that must be really difficult for you
@chopchop25 Thank you! I hope your day got better yesterday. Sometimes those OPKs can really drive you crazy! I find I have a lot better luck with the pink dye ones.
@catlady2015 Thank you friend! I felt a lot better after venting and a body pump session (:
