LJMoon6 · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 11/11

Cycle Day/DPO: 4

Timing: -6, -4, -2, 0, +2 (I know some of these don’t “count” but I’m proud of our streak this month lol)

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: no, no, no, no, no

R/R: I am so close to finishing this boring project at work! But it’s so hard for me to actually do it!! Goal: Finish project by the end of the day… Maybe I’ll make a to-do list with check boxes. There’s something satisfying about checking off boxes on a to-do list.

CS/Q: I had a dawning realization today and I need you guys to tell me if I’m batty or not lol. I’m not looking for medical advice, more just wondering if anyone else has had or know someone who has had a similar thing happen. Over the summer sometime, I’m not really sure when because I didn’t notice it myself, I developed a “rash” on my chin. It’s not really a rash, it’s more just red splotches. They aren’t raised and they don’t itch. It’s more just a cosmetic annoyance, some days you can't notice it very much. I don’t use anything on my face, no face scrub, no lotion, no makeup, nothing. So I tried adding in a face wash late summer and that didn’t help. I stopped using it. I then asked my doctor what she thought of it and she said she thinks my skin is just dry (although I had just gone to the pool for a swim before my appointment and that usually dries up my skin) so I started using lotion. Still no change. There has been no other changes in my routine except for taking my PNV (which I started in May). Is it possible that I’m having a reaction to my PNV?!

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy? My work space is very neat. I usually like my living space neat as well but DH is not the best at picking up after himself. And I don’t want him to get used to me picking up after him so I usually just leave it until he picks it up or there are people coming over.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

Cycle Day/DPO: 28/12

Timing: -1

Typical LP length: Not sure

Testing: Bfn this morning. Thinking I'm probably out so ill just wait for af I think.

R/R: Good morning, all! Just a happy Tuesday over here. It's sunny, and I don't think I've seen the sun in like 3 weeks.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy?
I am neat and am in a constant battle with my very small house to be as uncluttered as possible. I am losing.

kobrien827 · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 5/6

Cycle Day/DPO: 18/6

Timing: -4, -3, -2, O, -1

Typical LP length: 14-15

Testing: Probably Saturday or Sunday

R/R: Hello all! I have been a bit MIA, work is busy! Other than that, I am so happy its been sunny and warmer (50 degrees seems warm to me LOL) here the last couple days, I am loving it and it totally makes my mood better. I am seeing a new OBGYN tomorrow since I am due for my annual and am new to the area so I hope I like the doctor and can use her when I get KU.

CS/Q: noneeee

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy? I am a mixture of both. I am very organized and neat at work and typically like the house on the neat side but can also go weeks of just piling clothes up in the corner of the room before I do anything about it. Drives DH batty.

@LJMoon6 fx you finish your project today! Which PNV are you on? If you havent done anything else different, maybe you are slightly allergic to something in it?
@rosebud332 Sorry from the BFN

eleven_ · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 8/8

Cycle Day/DPO: 26/11

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: BFN again this morning. I definitely feel out this cycle.

R/R: I’m excited to have a big glass of wine tonight. The bigger the better.

CS/Q:

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/mw/7bk8igpdajxc.png

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy? I’m pretty clean, but I’m pretty messy with my clothes. I have a chair in my room that I put all of my clothes that I take off which aren’t dirty yet. DH always makes fun of me by asking if I’m trying to build a mountain. I’m also pretty messy with shoes. I flip them off the second I get home and they are always all over the house. It drives DH crazy.

@ljmoon Sorry, I have no advice other than seeing a dermatologist if it is really bothering you?
@rosebud332 Sorry for you BFN this morning. I think I am going to wait for AF too at this point.
@kobrien827 Good luck with your new OB tomoroow. I hope you like her!

catlady2015 · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 5/6

Cycle Day/DPO: 18/6

Timing: +1

Typical LP length: 12

Testing:

not happening unless AF is late

R/R: going to be overloaded at work the next couple days, there's so much going on. I guess I ran for 15 minutes today at the gym (5 minute intervals). So maybe that's a rave?

CS/Q: nothing to see, but here's a link if you're curious. https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5d5ee4.

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy? Typically fairly neat. I might have a few disorganized areas, but I swear I can find everything I need!

rosebud332 · February 2018

@eleven_ Sorry for your bfn too

catlady2015 · February 2018

@LJMoon6 - Well, anything is possible. I second the advice to see a derm if it's not going away. Your skin is definitely not liking something, but it's hard to know what it is.
@rosebud332 - it's hard to be organized in a super small house! Mad props to you. Sorry about your BFN today.
@kobrien827 - good to see you, friend! Hope work lets up a bit and you can bump more.

also, really hope you like your new doc! It's so hard when you move to find someone you like.
@eleven_ - So sorry about your BFN. *hugs* Enjoy the wine tonight, you deserve it! We have a clothes "bomb", as DH says. I do the same thing, piled on my dresser. When he thinks it gets too big, he says the bomb exploded and carts it off to the laundry.

lurvleybunchococonuts · February 2018

*lurking from WTO*
@LJMoon6 What PNV do you take? You could try switching brands for a few months and see if it continues. I second seeing a dermatologist if it get bothersome. I recently switched PNV brands and it's mindblowing how much of a difference it has made on my stomach. I was been taking https://similac.com/prenatal-care/prenatal-vitamins for well over a year and they were fine, nothing to write home about but alright. I always had to make sure I ate something substantial before taking them though otherwise I'd get a really upset stomach. I switched to https://www.amazon.com/Zahler-Prenatal-Vitamins-development-Certified/dp/B01KYBETJ2 and they don't bother my stomach at all. I haven't tested taking them on an empty stomach yet, but I'm fine with just a light snack which previously would have made me nauseous for a solid 45 minutes.

galactickates · February 2018

@eleven_ I got a bfn this morning too

in fact I just pulled it out of my pocket at work to confirm. *currently throwing things* *also pulls out test to check one more time in case is changed in the lay 30 seconds*

Month/Cycle: 6/4 (2/2 AL)

Cycle Day/DPO: 27/8

Timing:

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: BFN this morning.

R/R: Rave: closing on our new house today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg I'm so happy. I'll be even happier when movers come Friday but seriously that was quite the journey to get here and it's almost over. H is at the title company as we speak.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy?
Neat, it's pretty easy when your H has mild OCD and does all the dishes and likes everything in its place. I enjoy living in a clean house so I'll NEVER complain.

lin0442 · February 2018

Month/Cycle: 23/16

Cycle Day/DPO: 27/13

Timing: very good

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: trying not to

R/R: My new vacuum is getting delivered today and I’m so excited! 16 year old me would be so disappointed in how lame I’ve become, lol.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy? On the neater side. We’re ‘no shoes in the house’ types, which cuts down on so much mess. When I’m messy, it’s never with ‘dirty’ stuff- I never leave dishes/spills/dirt around, just stuff like a bill or a book I’m working on, or a sweatshirt that can be reworn (has anyone come up with a good solution to ‘not dirty yet’ clothes storage???).

Yay @galactickates on house closing! DH and I closed on our house last November and it felt like such a process!!
@lurvleybunchococonuts Might have to try that brand- I have to take my PNV when I get home from work or I get nauseous every morning and immediately convince myself I’m pg

@eleven_ wine sounds amazing right now

LJMoon6 · February 2018

@kobrien827 I’ve been using Nature Made mostly because it’s cheap and doesn’t cause an upset stomach. (Also is my OB crazy? She told me it doesn’t matter what PNV you use while TTC and that I should pick the cheapest or tastiest. It’s only once you’re KU that you should look more closely at which PNV to use… This advice sounds a little crazy to me.)

@eleven_ Sorry for your BFN. I also have no idea what to do with my not-dirty-yet clothes. The redness doesn’t really bother me, I can easily cover it up with makeup. I just never wear makeup so every once in a while I do get self-conscious about it.

@catlady2015 I’ve been trying to rack my brain and figure out what’s causing it. The only other change has been that we moved into our new house in March. This didn’t start till the summer so I don’t think that’s it… It doesn’t really bother me until I look in the mirror lol. But then again I’m so low maintenance that I barely look in the mirror in the morning before I leave.

@lurvleybunchococonuts I’ve been using Nature Made mostly because it’s cheap and my OB told me it doesn’t matter which once I take while TTC… I’ve been thinking about changing to one with folate instead of folic acid. Just waiting for this bottle to run out. I’ve been able to take this one on an empty stomach every time with absolutely no nausea. I did have the Zahler brand written down as a possible one to try. I’m glad to hear it doesn’t upset your stomach!

@galactickates Sorry for you BFN. But congrats on your new house!!! I am so jealous of your kitchen! Even though I can’t cook… but I swear if I had a kitchen like yours I would be in there all the time!

@lin0442 I would be excited for a new vacuum too!!!

coco2787 · February 2018

Month/Cycle:
5/3

Cycle Day/DPO:
21/6

Timing:
-4,-2,-1

Typical LP length:
11/12 days

Testing:
Probably Thursday with a cheapie just to satisfy my urge to test and FRER on Friday

R/R:
It’s almost 60 today! (I’m in Wisconsin so this is kind of a big deal)

CS/Q:
nada

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy?
I like when things are clean but my laziness outweighs my desire to be clean. Usually I led it build up until I can’t deal anymore and then clean like a crazy person.

hlb8179 · February 2018

@LJMoon6 My RE said the same thing about PNV. She said to look for DHA and 800mcg of folic acid. I've been using NatureMade as well.
Month/Cycle: 10/10

Cycle Day/DPO: 15/1

Timing: IUI #1 yesterday with Clomid Days 3-7 and Ovidrel shot on Day 13

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: Day 14

R/R: I woke up at 3am and couldn't fall back asleep so this is one looooooong day. I've been enjoying spending it catching up with you all.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy? Pretty obsessively neat. MH is as well. I also go wild with a label maker.

wrensnest · February 2018

@LJMoon6 I agree that a derm consult would be worthwhile! Have the spots changed size or location at all?

@lin0442 Enjoy your new vacuum! Isn’t it funny the stuff we get excited about as we get older?

@galactickates Congrats on closing!!!! That must feel so good!

@eleven_ So sorry about your BFN. Enjoy that wine!

@rosebud332 @kobrien827 @coco2787 Hope you all get a chance to enjoy your nice weather!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

Cycle Day/DPO: 28/12 or 13

Timing: Good

Typical LP length: Not sure

Testing: I figure we’re out this month with yesterday’s BFN. Will probably only test again in AF hasn’t shown up by Friday.

R/R: Rave: Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I’ll keep y’all posted about Hamilton!

Rant: I’m just having an ugh kind of day. Fighting with insurance, still spotting, just blah. Heard back from OBs office that OB is on vacation and they’ll have her address my concerns when she gets back. In two weeks. Uggghhhh.

CS/Q: Nothing new really. Temps have stabilized a little above coverline.

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy? I would describe my style as “organized mess.” I tend to hold onto a lot of junk, but as long as my piles of stuff are organized, I’m good, lol.

LJMoon6 · February 2018

@coco2787 I forgot you’re in Wi! I’m a Wisconsinite too, although now I live in MN. This warm weather is so nice! Although we don’t have 60s today, mid 40s for us.

@hlb8179 Thank you for sharing that your RE said the same thing. That makes me feel a lot better! I honestly don’t know if changing brands would really tell me anything though. If I’m allergic to something in one, it’s likely that it’ll be in the other as well.

@wrensnest No the spots haven’t changed in size or location at all. Some days they’re redder than others. They get really red when I rub lotion on them, or just rub my chin in general. I know I should/have appropriate reasons to go see a derm, I’m just reluctant. I’ve been seeing so many specialists lately (ortho, cardio, neuro). I just don’t want my work to think I’m a sickly employee lol, especially if I need to start IF testing with an RE in the next couple months.

maureenmce · February 2018

@eleven_ and @galactickates Sorry about the BFNs.

Hey all! My first TWW here, though I'm mostly just WFAF I think. It was our first time trying after **TW our most recent loss end TW** and I was on a nuts work schedule and getting like 4 hours of sleep a night, so our timing was not amazing and I was pretty exhausted and unhealthy. Looking forward to getting this cycle over with and starting fresh next month.

Month/Cycle: 1/1 **TW after 2 losses**

Cycle Day/DPO: CD 24, DPO 10, according to FF estimates, but I wasn't temping so it's a guess

Timing: -3 and -1 based on the FF estimate

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: not gonna test unless I'm a day late

R/R: Rave: I was just working on the craziest show I've ever worked on my life and it was so stressful and exhausting I am THRILLED to be on a more normal schedule. Rant: I still feel like I haven't recovered from it. I have an autoimmune disease and can be sensitive to stress and lack of sleep and I think it's going to take some time to feel normal again.

CS/Q: Nope!

GTKY: Are you typically neat or messy? Neat everywhere except for my car, which is a total embarrassment.

suzycupcake · February 2018

Lurking

@eleven_ You're not out until the witch shows. I hope those temps stay nice and high. Fx for you!

@rosebud332 Sorry for the bfn, hugs, but there's still time. Fx for you too!

@galactickates Pipe down lady, you are 8dpo lol so much hope for you. Keep testing.

@hlb8179 Don't freak out if your typical lp changes. It often does with treatment cycles because it's a controlled cycle. Give yourself an extra 2-3 days before testing since you planned to test on your previous lp length.

My fingers are crossed for all of you ladies. I will be here every day to cheer you on if you'll have me

My inbox is open if you need to vent or anything.

eleven_ · February 2018

@galactickates Sorry for your BFN too. I contemplated bringing my test to work today, but I decided against it. Instead I’ve just been lost in Fertility Friend's chart gallery. At least if you don’t get a BFP this cycle, you have a lot to be excited for this next month! You are going to be so busy
@lin0442 I would be excited for a new vacuum too haha. We ordered new silverware and it is supposed to arrive today and I can’t wait to see it.
@coco2787 I’m so jealous of your weather. I miss the sun
@hlb8179 FX for you this cycle. I hate the nights when I wake up and can’t go back to sleep. I’m so tired and grumpy all day.
@wrensnest Sorry for your BFN too. I hate when OBs go on vacations. Mine went a couple weeks ago when I desperately needed an appointment. So frustrating!
@maureenmce I just went and read the newbie thread because I was wondering what kind of show you were working on. Reality TV sounds so fun yet exhausting to be a part of. That’s nice that you can get back to a normal schedule! Lack of sleep is the worst.

meri-mac · February 2018

**Lurking from WTO**
I echo everything @suzycupcake said. She said it better than I could have

All good thoughts and all digits crossed for you ladies! ❤

maureenmce · February 2018

@eleven_ Fun, yet exhausting is the perfect description of working in reality tv, lol. Happily, now I'm on a low drama show about cars (which is funny because I know *nothing* about cars) but at least I'm not working 14 hour days anymore!

kobrien827 · February 2018

@LJMoon6 I use Natures as well. My OB had the same advice about ttc pnv: gummies, pills, flintstones etc as long as you are taking something. I havent asked yet about once I am KU. I hope you get it figured out soon!
