Cycle Day/DPO:
18/3

Timing:
-4, -2, -1

Typical LP length:
11/12 days

Testing:
Trying to hold out until next Friday or Saturday

R/R:
So tired. Went to bed at 10 and woke up at 7:40 (to my alarm) and I felt like I could have slept a few more hours. If I hadn't just had my thyroid checked I might think there was something wrong with me. On a good note, last day of weekend work for a few months!

CS/Q:
nope

GTKY: What job would you be terrible at?
Any kind of management. I'm not very assertive and I don't like to be in charge, especially when shit goes wrong.

Whitmore1027 · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 2/2

Cycle Day/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -3, -2, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 15

Testing: I dunno. Maybe tomorrow morning. I couldn't bring myself to test this morning. I usually don't care and will just test anyway. But after yesterdays BFN, I don't know what I want to do! But yeah, probably tomorrow morning.

R/R: Raves: Dinner with dad and sistas night was fun!! My sister got me a Micheal Kors phone wallet, andddd I was like "YOU BETTER NOT HAVE SPENT THAT MUCH MONEY!!!" I reeeally hope she bargain shopped it. I have never been into name brand stuff, but I tell ya, I feel so fancy with this wallet. Hahaha! We are going to my grandparents today and visiting with them, my aunt, uncle and cousins. My grandpa is making me Jambalaya!! They are from Louisiana and I LOVE having cajun in my family. The BEST food ever! And he makes enough Jambalaya to feed 10 people with a ton of leftovers. Ohh I can't wait! Om nom nom!

CS/Q: Looky the cute little mountains.

GTKY: What job would you be terrible at? I would say anything that's police related. I am a big chicken. Or anything I need to keep secret like CIA or whatever. I am bad about running my mouth and saying stuff I shouldn't. Haha.

wrensnest · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 2/2

Cycle Day/DPO: 25/9 or 10

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: Don’t know

Testing: Monday

R/R: DH and I have our date night tonight! We’re going to go see Black Panther and go out for a fancy dinner. I’m so excited!

CS/Q: No spotting this morning. *knock on all the wood* - Temps are still up. I’m very busy symptom spotting now.

GTKY: What job would you be terrible at? Oh gosh, a lot of things, lol. Anything dealing with customer complaints.

wrensnest · February 2018

Ugh, spoke too soon about the spotting.

suzycupcake · February 2018

@wrensnest I hope the spotting goes away and that your temps stay nice and high. Fx!

Month/Cycle: 3rd IUI

Cycle Day/DPO: 28/12

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 14, 16 for last two IUIs

Testing: wfaf or blood beta which I think is Tuesday; whichever comes first

R/R: Still putting progesterone up my vagina. God it's uncomfortable. I feel so bad because MH seems to want to HIO but I don't feel like it while doing this. I do not feel sexy at all. Still no usual pre af symptoms. It's weird. I used to have what seemed like every symptom in the book previous tries over the years. There were even cycles where I got some new symptom I never had before and was sure I was KU. I'm trying so hard not to obsess on the not having any symptoms at all.

CS/Q: No

GTKY: What job would you be terrible at? I'd be a terrible pharmaceutical rep. No explanation needed.

catlady2015 · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 5/6

Cycle Day/DPO: 15/3

Timing: +1 (womp womp)

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: WFAF

R/R: we just bathed the cats. I was coated in cat hair. When we brushed the cats, one of them (she's a DSH) we had to empty the brush 7-8 times for b/c it was full. She has such a thick undercoat she had to get bathed twice.

CS/Q: nothing pretty here

GTKY: What job would you be terrible at? Ooh, lotsa things. Sales, upper management, waiting tables ....

catlady2015 · February 2018

@coco2787 - hey dpo buddy! glad you're done with weekend work for the time being! Hope you're enjoying a lazy Saturday!
@wrensnest - ouch, sorry about the spotting. I get that too and it's a giant buzzkill. Enjoy dinner and the movie!
@suzycupcake - that sounds awful. I don't blame you for not wanting to HIO.

Keep us posted!

jrm_14 · February 2018

@coco2787 That sleep sounds glorious!! I hope that you sleep so well again tonight.

@Whitmore1027 I’d love a MK wallet/purse!! What was the occasion?

@wrensnest Are you my friend IRL

? She’s out to a fancy dinner & Black Panther this evening. Hope you have fun!

@catlady2015 I thought I was the only person who bathed my cat

Whitmore1027 · February 2018

@wrensnest How was Black Panther? I've heard only good things about it so far!
@suzycupcake My goodness. I don't understand all that you are going through with ttc, but that progesterone up your vagina definitely doesn't sound fun. I can understand the unsexy part about that. How icky!
@catlady2015 I've never bathed either of my cats, and it scares me to ever want to try haha. It would NOT end well for any of us. Haha!
@jrm_14 My 30th was the 22nd, so it was a birthday gift. I reeeaally like it too. Haha!

Whitmore1027 · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 2/2

Cycle Day/DPO: 27/12

Timing: -3, -2, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 15

Testing: Tomorrow AM. We decided to more testing until after all our family visits this weekend. We are having my 3rd and final birthday party with my H's family today. We didn't want to test in case we "happen" to be pregnant because it might have been hard to keep to to ourselves.

R/R: Loved spending time with my grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, cousins, mom, step dad and H. My grandpa's Jambalaya was AMAZING! We played board games all day too. Today we are visited my in laws, grandee, MIL, aunt in law, cousins in laws, etc. Pizza is on the menu today, as well as ice cream cake! It's been great spending time with family for my birthday. I prefer that to gifts anyway. My H planned this since we can't really afford gifts. I have my interview tomorrow morning, and I haven't tried on my interview clothes, and I very much doubt I fit in them....kinda scared about that. Haha.

CS/Q:

sassyduck0415 · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 2/2

Cycle Day/DPO: 30/14

Timing: -2, -1, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: I don't know. AF is due tomorrow, no spotting yet. I caved and POAS on day 12 (haha, nerd!! Geez!) and now I'm out of sticks so I will likely WFAF.

R/R: AC is still out, but DH says it will be fixed tomorrow. We attended an amazing charity event last night that was too much fun. It was super casual, open bar, and casino night themed.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What job would you be terrible at? Serving. I'm the worst. Bless those peeps!!

coco2787 · February 2018

@Whitmore1027 I'm glad you're having a nice time with your family. FX for a BFP tomorrow!

@wrensnest sorry about the spotting

I hope you enjoyed your date night.

@suzycupcake I don't blame you for not wanting to HIO with progesterone suppositories. I hope you get good news on Tuesday!

@catlady2015 sorry about the crappy timing

@sassyduck0415 I never make it past 9 DPO without POAS so waiting until day 12 is pretty good if you ask me!

catlady2015 · February 2018

@jrm_14 @Whitmore1027 - We usually use a waterless bath you rub in and then brush out. helps get extra fur/dander out. We save the dunkings for when someone gets into something (like when my calico decided to go swimming in the toilet - we close the lid now

).

Whitmore1027 · February 2018

@catlady2015 OMG cat in the toilet?? That's funny! I can see why that would be a good idea to bathe. I've never done the waterless either. That's a good idea to help the shedding and dander down! I use a furminator, which works wonders! My aunt shave her 3 cats, which I'm not a fan of, but apparently it really helps with shedding!

suzycupcake · February 2018

We always had cats that were like dogs when it came to the water. They didn’t mind it but maybe because we started them when they were young. I did have this one cat though that I rescued who was feral. He didn’t like the water but I discovered that if I put him in the shower with me, he did fine because he could move away from the water when he wanted to.

My current dog is the same. She likes water but cannot sit still in the bathtub. I put her in the shower with me one time and noticed she liked to sit by my leg and let the warm water run on her. We make it a habit now lol who else showers with their fur baby?

Month/Cycle: 3rd IUI

Cycle Day/DPO: 29/13

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 14, 16 last IUIs

Testing: wfaf or beta Tuesday

R/R: right to bear arms that increases body count is driving me absolutely crazy this morning.

I also think I may be feeling a bit AFy

CS/Q: Nope.

rosebud332 · February 2018

@Whitmore1027 I hate getting expensive stuff too. I would never buy it for myself so it feels weird to get it as a gift. Mh has a tendency to think expensive=good, so he spends too much on gifts sometimes. Good luck in your interview tomorrow!

@wrensnest Sorry about continued spotting

@suzycupcake Progesterone up the vag sounds....uncomfortable. I can only imagine it might be like putting those yeast infection suppositories up your vag, and I cannot blame you for not wanting to hio during that.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

Cycle Day/DPO: 26/10

Timing: -1

Typical LP length: Not sure

Testing: Bfn yesterday, testing again tomorrow.

R/R: My party yesterday was a success! But I was dead on my feet by the end of it. Sooo beat today.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What job would you be terrible at?
Sales. I am not a people person and I can't easily make small talk, and also if I see a problem with something I'm selling I will say it. Haha

suzycupcake · February 2018

@rosebud332 That's exactly what it's like only it's a pill. I think it might be bigger than the biggest vitamin. It feels gross putting anything up there because nothing should be going in there, aside from MH

, to disrupt the delicate balance, imo.

It's this big

Also, sorry you got a bfn. And your reasoning for being terrible at being a sales rep is exactly why I wouldn't make a good pharmaceutical rep. I'd start by telling them pills up the vagina is ridiculous as well as I'd explain to the men who make decisions about womens' reproductive health, that fertility should be a right, not a privilege. That last bit wasn't related, but these damn pills cost me $270. Even though Kaiser covers half of fertility, they didn't even cover these things at all. I got an entire 30 day supply even though I don't need it. This is so I will have them on hand for next cycle when we go to another clinic because I've resigned from my current position.

rosebud332 · February 2018

@suzycupcake All I can say to the size of that pull is holy wow. Like you said...H only please!! Haha. And you're right about the cost of all this stuff. I wish more insurance covered it and thought of it as a necessity. And if more women were in charge, it might be a different story. My sil is going through ivf and I'm just astounded at how much it is costing them for one round, just to try to have a baby.

wrensnest · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 2/2

Cycle Day/DPO: 26/10 or 11

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: Don’t know

Testing: I don’t care, I’m still testing tomorrow despite all of this spotting.

R/R: DH and I had a really great date night! @Whitmore1027 Black Panther was awesome! We both really enjoyed it. Definitely catch it when you have a chance.
Rant below.

CS/Q: Spotting, spotting, spotting, spotting. Sent a message to my OBs office, so hopefully they’ll get back to me soon about whether they think this is within normal limits after stopping birth control or if it’s worth more investigating. Thanks all for your supportive comments. I’m feeling pretty burnt out on bleeding right now.

wrensnest · February 2018

@suzycupcake oh, that mega-pill does not look fun at all.

@rosebud332 lol about the sales comment. I like a little honestly with my sales people.

@catlady2015 yes, the spotting is a major buzzkill. Do they know what causes yours/have they suggested anything to help?

@jrm_14 maybe

lol, it’s the thing to do!

suzycupcake · February 2018

Edit

josie12367 · February 2018

@suzycupcake Definitely DD that hun!

suzycupcake · February 2018

@josie12367 Thank you

And it's really good to see you

josie12367 · February 2018

@suzycupcake No problem! You can always pm about it if you want

oaklandava · February 2018

Hey guys--sorry I was absent all weekend. DH got a new job offer on Friday afternoon, so we went exploring the area this weekend and I don't have data (LOL!) like I'm 15. So, I am catching up this morning...

@Whitmore1027 take the MK girl....always take the MK

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
@suzycupcake yeah...I would imagine I would not want to HIO with that up there either. I had to do the syringe of stuff for a yeast infection once and that was the most disgusting feeling in the world so I can only imagine. You're a boss!
@wrensnest hopefully the spotting is nothing. Positive vibes your way! Hopefully your testing went well.

catlady2015 · February 2018

@wrensnest - I haven't been seen for it. I wasn't paying super close attention before my last gyn appt, so I didn't know it was a thing to mention. It started after I went off BC, but I've been off for over a year at this point and i consistently have 2-3 days of spotting before AF. We moved to a new town in October and I haven't picked a doc yet.

I suspect low progesterone levels but I need testing to be sure.
