Re: WTO Thursday 3/1
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: OT
R/R: Rant: Dropped my car off at the mechanic this morning. Needs a new gas tank
CS/Q: -
GTKY: What is your go-to make yourself feel better, bad day (or CD 1) pick me up? If it is AF showing up, I like to have a cup of full caff coffee in the morning and a beer in the evening. For a general pick me up, poutine all the way!
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Tonight begins the HIO marathon. Tomorrow I'll start using OPKs. Still have my fx for a longer LP.
R/R: Rant: My DH has to do a 2nd SA and he's only able to do it on Mondays due to his job and having to have the SA to the lab before noon, and wouldn't you know that this weekend is my FW! So we'll have to wait until week after next to do another SA. I don't want to waste our FW, I think that's the best thing to do? Rave: It's almost the weekend! Have plans to go hiking with friends Saturday so I'm looking forward to that!
CS/Q: None at the moment!
GTKY: What is your go-to make yourself feel better, bad day (or CD 1) pick me up? Exercising always makes me feel better! I also like to splurge every now and again, so maybe an iced caramel macchiato
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Supplements, acupuncture, trying to arrange next IVF cycle, will start with the HIO marathon already this weekend, because it’s the weekend
R/R: It’s Thursday and after today I am not back at work until a week on Monday!!! However I have to write my damn thesis during this time... ahhhh... cue a lot of time bumping next week lol.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What is your go-to make yourself feel better, bad day (or CD 1) pick me up? Singing along to 80s rock music at the top of my voice. Watching the squirrel come to get nuts right by our French doors. Snuggling on the couch with DH. DH cooking me one of his fab meals.
@meri-Mac sorry about the car - but buying a new one is not a bad compensation!
@meladams10 how many days abstinence did your DH do before his last SA? I ask because there is some research that in cases where they do back to back IUIs sometimes the sample is better on the second day - ie only 24 hours after the first sample... I would suggest if last time he had 2-3 days abstinence, it might not be so crazy to this time only have 24 hours - maybe his fresh little swimmers are better than those who’ve been hanging around for a few days... maybe. If not, then yes it’s a pain, but one week will be ok in the grand scheme of things. This whole process is a whole load of waiting, waiting and more waiting. We become waiting experts...

@meladams10 Sorry about H's sa getting in your way. I agree to a "hio marathon" as you say too. That's what I would do. And it does feel like a marathon sometimes doesn't it?? Exhausting. Lol
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 1 (ugggghhhhh)
WAYDTGKU: Opk, hio, pre seed, must get pnv this week!
R/R: I was going to test this morning (due to lack of self control) but alas! Af had other ideas. I'm fine with it as it was only my first cycle and I was trying reallllly hard not to feel like a special snowflake who would get knocked up on the first try. But it was just bleh first thing in the morning. I feel better now that I've showered.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your go-to make yourself feel better, bad day (or CD 1) pick me up?
Asked for selfish reasons obviously. Mine is generally wine or a beer and something stupid on tv. There's just something about a glass of wine and some Netflix and husband time that makes me feel better at the end of the day.
CD:18
WAYDTGKU:bbt,cm,opk,hio
R/R: Sprained my ankle bad this morning so I`m stuck on the couch for the day.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: What is your go-to make yourself feel better, bad day (or CD 1) pick me up? Normally I go for a walk but not today.
@meri-mac I'm going to be car shopping in June/July because my car is on its last legs. Just praying it holds out that long so I can save more money! What kind of new car are you thinking of getting?
@meladams10 Good luck and hope you have a longer LP! Enjoy your hike! I was just thinking I should start hiking again now that it's nearly spring. (And I live in LA so really, I have no excuse not to, even in winter.)
@emmasemm Enjoy your long weekend! Watching squirrels from your French doors sounds right out of a Pixar movie!
@rosebud332 Sorry about CD1. I'm in the same boat. Wine and Netflix with my husband is one of my favorite things too. Hoping to have some time to do that this weekend! Have you seen the new Queer Eye on Netflix? I'm like 3 episodes in and addicted already! I love a makeover and the show is so sweet.
Month/Cycle: 2/2 **TW after 2 losses end TW
CD: 1 (sigh)
WAYDTGKU: PNV, husband on preconception health vitamins, OPK, trying to lose 10-15 pounds asap to get to a healthier BMI.
R/R: Already ranted about wasted test and CD1, so I'll just rave that I at least am looking forward to taking this month to get in shape and focus on my health. Already did some strength training this morning and feeling pretty good about that.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: What is your go-to make yourself feel better, bad day (or CD 1) pick me up? Appropriate today! If I have enough calories free in my meal plan I might treat myself to a chai tea latte later.
i look forward to chatting with you ladies this cycle
meri-mac omg...so jelly. I havent had a full caff coffee in almost 2 years!
meladams10 I think your plan to hold off on the SA is smart... and also jealous of your macchiato
emmasemm hey girl! In a way its good you can just get that thesis out of the way! Hows it going sourcing the monitoring clinics
rosebud332 I second the wine! It pairs with my chocolate perfectly....Best TTC comfort food/drink
Stargazer1lily Nooo! Sorry about your ankle!
maureenmce Ugh, I hate the old: "Test On AF" day thing...
CD: 1 (I think/guess)
WAYDTGKU: Au Naturel this cycle, FET in April... all the pills, sparkly new ute, might throw in spells and chanting....
R/R: Just hoping these mega cramps go soon (withdrawal bleed/first period post uterine septum removal surgery)
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What is your go-to make yourself feel better, bad day (or CD 1) pick me up? Chocolate
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD:10
WAYDTGKU: There was bit of a meltdown last month with the charting so DH and I agreed that this month we're keeping it low tech and trying the old fashioned approach.
R/R: Rant: This week has been really frustrating and awful and sucked. They're doing a 'staffing adjustment review' at work and no body is outside the scope of the review (except very senior staff) so it all feels a bit awful and I hate being there with it hanging over our heads. Also DH got another rejection on the great job hunt which makes moving and having a fresh start in an affordable city feel pretty far away. Rave: I just ordered some beautiful new wool for a project I'm working on with my MIL. We're doing a knit a long and I'm making my first ever shawl on circular needles. This required buying yet more wool (my stash is now hiding in 3 places around the house) but I'm quite excited. I have never tried this sort of pattern before and I'm already lost but it's nice to be doing it with her for help.
GTKY: What is your go-to make yourself feel better, bad day (or CD 1) pick me up? Lately it's been knitting. I'm not that great so I've started challenging myself a bit more. Knitting and chocolate.
@meladams10 I think what you are doing is right. No point wasting the FW this cycle
@emmasemm I love 80's rock music!!
@rosebud332 sorry about AF
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: opp, BBT, PNV
R/R: I don't know what's going on with my body. Every cycle is like a new thing. Last cycle had late O which ended in a 41 day cycle and now this cycle I've had 3 days of strongly positive OPK so far. BBT is still low though. DH will be coming tomorrow for the weekend so I'm really hoping O day is tomorrow and hasn't happened yet but I don't know if that's possible if I've already had 3 days worth of positive OPK. If I O'd today that would mean timing is -3 for this cycle
CS/Q:--
GTKY: What is your go-to make yourself feel better, bad day (or CD 1) pick me up? eating a cheat meal (burger and fries), ice cream
@rosebud332 Sorry about CD1
@Stargazer1lily I hope your ankle is feeling better!
@maureenmce I swear the universe does that to us! The second you POAS here comes AFs ugly self! Sorry for CD1
@dragonette505 I hope you start feeling better soon!
@mrsduddles All of the charting can really be stressful. I'm glad you're taking a break. It becomes an obsession fast.
@nasah15 I cannot imagine being long distance and TTC. I'm thinking of you!
