Grandma and grandpa, Barack and Michelle Obama. Maybe not at the same time lol.

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@fantasyflyte Hopefully it will be an interesting case at least! I'm with you, I love Michelle Obama. I think she's so classy and another Jackie O!

Whitmore1027 · March 2018

@meladams10 FX for your H's SA, and your HSG! Have you had a HSG done before?
@fantasyflyte Hope your jury duty goes fast! I have actually never done jury duty before!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, OPK, PN

R/R: Rave: I did like...5 loads of laundry yesterday, and it feels good. Haha! Another rave, we were kind of behind in some rent, and I was finally able to pay that this morning since we got paid, so that bit of weight on my shoulders feel better.
Oh! And this isn't really a rave or a rant..maybe a rant, but on Tuesday night, a car flipped outside our house. (kid is okay, he got out and just had a banged up mouth) He ran into our neighbors jeep that was parked on the side of the road (most of the car was in the grass, so it totally wasn't their fault). The kid must have caught the jeep perfect, and drove up the jeep and flipped. It pushed the jeep into our mailbox and therefore...we have no mailbox now, it was demolished (made of brick). We had to go get the post office to hold our mail, and now we are waiting for our landlord to clean it up and put up a new box. I hate having to go to the post office to get our mail. And we live in a tiny town, and they have weird hours. They actually close for an hour and a half for lunch. Photo in spoiler if you are interested.

CS/Q: It's boring, but here it is. I thought it was cool that my temp has been pretty much the same the last few days. Usually it looks like mountains.

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? J.R.R Tolkien, Jason Mamoa, Jennifer Lawrence, and Dave Ramsey. This would be a weird gathering.

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@Whitmore1027 No, I've never had an HSG done before. I'm scared! Yay for getting some bills paid. I always say, adulting is not fun! I hope your mailbox gets fixed soon. Wow, I'm glad that kid was okay! So scary! I'm with you on JLaw. I just love her! She's so funny!!

Whitmore1027 · March 2018

@meladams10 I have had an HSG done, and it's not too bad! You will fill just a bit of cramping during it, and it will cramp the whole time the dye is going through your uterus and tubes. Take some pain meds about 30 minutes before the procedure, and that should help! I was nervous too, so I totally get it! Adulting is SO not fun. I just went through all my bills I need to pay today, and we will get back down to only $100. <cries> It's okay though, we have another check coming through on Monday (hopefully), and I start my part time job soon. Boy we are BROKE BROKE BROKE!! And yes, that poor kid! He was in shock, shaking like crazy! He was worried about the car, and I was like "DUDE, you are alive and well. It's just a car! All that matters is that you are okay!"

wishiwaspreggo · March 2018

@meladams10 - I've had the HSG done. Don't Google it before you go. Too many horror stories on the internet and I freaked myself out. For most people it will be a little uncomfortable but you don't want to go into it expecting a nightmare! I worked myself up so much that I made it way worse in my head than it actually was. Just take a couple Tylenol an hour before and you should be okay

@Whitmore1027 - Oh my gosh, what a mess!!! That's crazy! How fast was the kid going down the road? Hopefully you get your mailbox up soon. I can imagine it's a pain having to go to the post office every day.

WAYDTGKU: Gonal-F, Ovidrel, IUI

R/R: My coloring book came in the mail

It's fabulous. I'm putting a picture of my favorite page in the spoiler.

I laughed because I turned 35 last year and my RE was quick to remind me that due to my age and previous experiences I'd be bumped right to the "high risk" category if I do get KTFU. And fun fact: I'll be 36 by the time I'm able to start IVF so... whee. But this image is fairly humorous and that helps take the sting away.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: Oh man, this is a hard one... Ben Folds, Margaret Cho, Sarah Paulson, and Jon Stewart. I think we'd have a raging good time together. I would honestly just like to sit and listen to what they all had to say. Maybe beg Ben to sing and play a couple songs on the piano.

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@Whitmore1027 Oh good! I'm glad to hear it wasn't too bad for you. Everything I look up on the internet makes it sound pretty terrifying. I typically have medium cramps anyway so I hope I handle it well. I'm definitely going to ask for something to ease my anxiety and pain! I suppose it's worth it all since it will likely provide answers. I've read it can help with conception, I hope that's true! Money is so stressful!! I'm glad your PT job starts soon, that will help a lot I'm sure! Can't we just hit the lottery?!

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@wishiwaspreggo Yay! Another HSG non horror story! You're right, the stuff on the internet is terrifying! What a fun coloring book! HAHA! I love it! Okay Sarah Paulson... I love her! I love American Horror Story! I think my favorite seasons were Asylum and Murder House!

Whitmore1027 · March 2018

@wishiwaspreggo From where the car is, which is right near the jeep, I don't think he was going fast at all. There is no skid marks and we didn't hear anything until the car flipped. I feel like if he was going fast, his car would have been further down the street, or in the ditch. Our street is VERY dark, there are no lights at all, and the jeep is a dark green so it was probably hard to see. If I could guess, he may have been on his phone and was just too close to the edge of the street. OMG that coloring book is the best!!! Hahaha!!

wishiwaspreggo · March 2018

@meladams10 Yay another AHS fan!!!!! I thought I was alone in the world

I love the show and I especially love Sarah Paulson. She always plays my favorite characters. And she's just a funny person when she's not acting, like in interviews and such. I imagine she'd be a lot of fun to hang out with. I've seen Jon Stewart and Margaret Cho perform comedy and I nearly passed out from laughing so hard. They're hysterical. And I just love Ben Folds' music. He's a classically trained pianist and his song-writing is amazing. Some of his songs make me laugh and others make me cry. I'd love to get to know him.

dragonette505 · March 2018

meladams10 glad you are getting the SA and HSG out of the way!
fantasyflyte NOOOOOOOOOOO jury duty is soooo boring!! In my town they take away all your electronics (even your apple watch!) Barack and Michelle I would make an exception for (I didn't list any famous ppl lol) But I better meet them at the same time... I respect Michelle too much and it would be hard not to moon over Barry if she wasn't there :P
Whitmore1027 OMG! So glad nobody (except the mailbox) was hurt... sometimes it amazes me that any teenagers (including me back in the day and everyone I knew) ever survive to adulthood!
wishiwaspreggo I am DYING laughing over that pic! I need that picture!!! I only wish they had given the grandma a preggie belly! lolol

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: Prepping for FET

R/R: FRIDAY!!! Cant wait to sleep in tomorrow! lol

CS/Q: nope... ( now that I have my protocol and know I cant TTC this cycle, I'm just waiting to O so I can start my FET meds)

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? I personally would like to meet 4 ancestors from different eras: Stone Age, Iron Age, Middle Age and 18th century... I would love to know about the lives and see the faces of the people who made me possible! I cant think of anything more fascinating!

rosebud332 · March 2018

@meladams10 Good luck with your husband's sa and your hsg!

@Whitmore1027 Oh thank goodness he's ok! These kids with their phones! Lol Half kidding, but seriously they are terrifying haha. Also, Jason Mamoa can be at any gathering of mine, but h might get jealous bc there would be staring.

@wishiwaspreggo That coloring book is amazing. I think my sil would love it. Can you share what it's called?

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 9 (Just realized my cd day matches the date and it makes me happy)

WAYDTGKU: opk, pnv, preseed

R/R: Happy it's fridayyyyy! I'm gonna try to get h to take me out tomorrow. I need to see the sun!

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be?
I'm a history nerd so I think it would be so interesting to have world leaders from different time periods in a room together. So let's say, Caesar Augustus, Elizabeth I, Lincoln, Winston Churchill. I just think it would be so cool to hear them all talk about why they chose to lead the way they did and discuss.

dragonette505 · March 2018

rosebud332 My CD also matches and I love it! So easy to remember what CD I am!! Great choices of people to meet!

eleven_ · March 2018

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, CM, CoQ10

R/R: Rant: There was a giant spider crawling on my arm during my drive in to work!!! I tried to remain calm, but I was absolutely terrified! I pulled over and jumped out of my car and started running around while screaming. It was on one of the busiest streets in my city so I’m sure people were wondering what kind of crazy pills I was on! That was a fun way to start my morning. Rave: I’m getting my hair done tomorrow!! I’m so excited. I’m going to have my stylist take a picture of the back of my hair so I can post it tomorrow!

CS/Q: Chart is still pretty boring.

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? Without putting too much thought into this I’m going to say Frida Kahlo, Thom Yorke, Edgar Allan Poe, and my mom.

@meladams10 Yay for a new cycle and a fresh start. Hopefully you catch O this time. That’s strange your cycle was only 22 days. Are you planning on talking to your OB about it?
@whitmore1027 That picture from the crash is scary! I’m so glad he is okay. I hope your landlord is able to get your mailbox fixed for you soon.
@wishiwaspreggo I didn’t realize until now that you are CD buddies with me and @galactickates! LOL at that pic from your coloring book. It’s so true!!! I honestly have never felt older even though I’m only 32. I never thought that TTC would be so much harder than when I was 27. Ooooh Jon Stewart is a good one!
@dragonette505 Good idea with your GTKY. That would be so interesting!
@rosebud332 So jealous that your CD matches the day. I’m always hoping that will happen for me!

Whitmore1027 · March 2018

@dragonette505 Right?? How do we get through those teenage years?! lol! I love the idea of the different ancestors from different ages!! That's so cool!
@rosebud332 YES to Jason M. My H would be the same, but he wouldn't blame me at all. He appreciates Jason's looks. Hahaha!

Kath525 · March 2018

@fantasyflyte have fun at jury duty! My dh and bil were on the same jury last week. Crazy!
@Whitmore1027 wow that's crazy! I'm glad no one was hurt!
@wishiwaspreggo that is HILARIOUS!! I love it!

WAYDTGKU: all the things.

R/R: rant: *TW (not my) pregnancy mentioned* still reeling from the text my (stupid, estranged, single, living with my parents, doing nothing with her life) sister sent me last night - a sonogram of her TWINS. There's a nice punch in my gut.
Rant- still itchy. Stupid dr still hasn't called me back about eczema (i left a message wednesday morning).
Rave: looking forward to decorating a cake tonight! It's going to be a wonderful distraction.
CS/Q:

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? My great grandfather, Ceasar Agustus, Michelangelo, and Anne Frank. This was a tough (but great) GTKY!

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? ooh, good one. My grandma who's passed, my grandpa (who died before I was born), Jane Austen, and Charlotte Bronte.

catlady2015 · March 2018

@meladams10 - sorry you guys are at testing, but glad you're getting things scheduled! Any results from your P test yet?
@fantasyflyte - ewww, jury duty. My condolences. hope it goes quickly and you're not selected!
@Whitmore1027 - OMG. I'm glad the mailbox is the only casualty!
@wishiwaspreggo - that coloring book is the bomb. I LOVE that pic!
@dragonette505 - come on O! we want you to get started prepping for that FET!

galactickates · March 2018

Month/Cycle:7/7 (3/3 AL)

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: practice HIO pnv

R/R: well... I'm glad yesterday is over. Today had a very different start. I got some sleep, there was no traffic, and I'm wearing a really cute outfit. Yesterday should be stricken from the record. Rant: not much to rant about ATM thank goodness. New day new me.

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be?
My best friend that passed away when we were 21. My husband because I would want him to meet her. Ryan Gosling because it would irritate H and he would probably say "of course you would invite him" and Joe Rogan. I really love his podcast.

@eleven_ lol that was @wishiwaspreggo

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@rosebud332 Thank you! You definitely sound like a history aficionado with your dinner guests!
@eleven_ Yay for a hair appt!! I love them lol. I'm waiting on a call from my nurse with my progesterone test results so I may mention to her when she calls? I was super sad because I missed my early O

My cycle is typically 28 days so I don't know what's going on.
@Kath525 UGH! So sorry you have to endure that torture

@catlady2015 Jane Austen... yes!! Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books!

eleven_ · March 2018

@meladams10 I just wonder how accurate your progesterone results will be. You are supposed to take the test 7 days after a positive OPK. I would definitely tell her about your short cycle and ask how accurate your progesterone results are.
@galactickates Yay for cute outfits!
@catlady2015 Good luck on finishing your project today! I love Jane Austen so much.
@coco2787 Hi, friend. I'm so happy that you get some time off soon. You deserve it

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@eleven_ I got confirmation of O through BBT. I was discarding the temps because I thought they were just wonky but, I'm guessing I O'd since AF came

I did do the test on CD20 which is what my OB suggested. It's all so frustrating.

dragonette505 · March 2018

eleven_ OMG I don't know how you didn't crash (there would be another dramatic crash photo if this happened to me). Nice going keeping a cool head!!!!
Whitmore1027 wait, who picked Jason Momoa?!? If yall are bringing HIM into this then this is going to be like one of those Bachelor evenings when the girls cut in: Sorry to interrupt you, but can I have a minute?? LOLOL

Kath525 UGH I'm sure that text was hard.... I had a similar thing this past autumn and its tough
catlady2015 Hope you can put that project to bed today! I hate having things hanging over my head at work...
coco2787 ugh... that cramping should slow down soon

Glad you are about to have spring break!!
galactickates Yay to striking yesterday from the record! Its nice when a Friday behaves as it should!

wishiwaspreggo · March 2018

In case anyone's itching to make a purchase on Amazon, here's the front cover of my coloring book:

Month/Cycle: 13/10

CD: 16 (Predicted O Day)

WAYDTGKU: OT, HIO

R/R: My boss just got laid off so there is a pall over the office. Rave: It is Friday and I have Monday off. We do a nerd weekend twice a year so I will be playing Pathfinder and Magic all weekend.

CS/Q: -

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? Michelle & Barack Obama, Stephen Fry and Alan Rickman.

catlady2015 · March 2018

@meri-mac - Alan Rickman, YES!!! Can i crash your party??

crookshanks10 · March 2018

Question... *TW Pregnancy mentioned *

Q: How do you all manage pregnant friends? One of my BFFs is pregnant with her 3rd.. after only having sex 3 times in a month mind you, and it's super hard

I'm obviously excited for her because she wanted another baby, but it's hard to receive texts asking about baby names

I don't really want to tell her it's hard, but she knows about I'm TTC and follows and asks me for updates everyday

fantasyflyte · March 2018

@Whitmore1027 that's scary, I'm glad everyone was okay!

@wishiwaspreggo that page is awesome, I love it!

@dragonette505 wow, at least mine doesn't take everything away! That would have made waiting around even more boring. I was looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow too until I remembered that I scheduled bloodwork early.

@rosebud332 I miss warm sun. It's been cold and dreary here.

@eleven_ OMG I probably would have crashed my car!

@Kath525 sorry about your sister and eczema. The cake sounds fun, is it a class/occasion or just for fun?

@catlady2015 Friday is the best day to wrap up projects, then you're free over the weekend to relax!

@coco2787 ugh, sorry about CD1 and interrupted sleep. Yay for upcoming break though!

@galactickates I'm glad today's better than yesterday!

@meri-mac sorry for the unsettled work atmosphere. I hope your long weekend is fun!

I've decided that today is going to be a good day - I got excused pretty early from my jury duty, and this morning's OPK finally started to show a light line!

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@fantasyflyte Yay for getting out of jury duty! haha. Thats awesome! Fx for your O soon!

Stargazer1lily · March 2018

Month/Cycle:17/17

WAYDTGKU:bbt.cm.opk.hio

R/R: Was suppose to have lunch with H`s mom and grandma but the road was blocked off so we just came home instead.

CS/Q:nope

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? My Grandpa,Grandma and my mom. hmm not sure about the 4th person maybe Chris Cornell.

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@Stargazer1lily Aw, well that stinks that the road was blocked

I got my progesterone results back with a normal 22.5 I'm guessing this is a good level if it's normal. Any insight anyone?

eleven_ · March 2018

@meladams10 Mine was 17 and they said it was really good.

holly321 · March 2018

Month/Cycle: 14/7? Benched for most

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: last cycle benched, so just temping and Opks to see if I ovulate naturally

R/R:. I got a migraine last night and am really cramping this morning. I would almost think I am about to ovulate. Rave, Friday is my day off, so lots of errands, it I also went shopping for myself this morning!

CS/Q: I can probably find my own answer and will probably look, but I have seen others say they keep opks to watch progression, so does that mean they are generally accurate after testing time limit?

GTKY: If you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be? My brother, Harrison Ford, Theodore Roosevelt, and king David

@meladams10 , FX for good results with your tests!
@eleven_ yay for getting your hair done. I hate physically getting it done, but love how I feel after.

@meri-mac, nerd weekend sounds have, have a good time!

@coco2787, I hope you enjoy your week off!

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@eleven_ Thank you! I just got an e-mail message saying it was normal.. not whether it was low, avg, or high!
@holly321 Thank you! I'm glad you got to go shopping! Did you get anything nice? I take a picture of my OPK strips to compare which has been so helpful! The instructions say not to read them after a certain period of time!

dragonette505 · March 2018

meri-mac OOO I love your picks too! Whenever I think of Rickman its as Snape telling Dumbledore his Patronus was still the same waaaaaaaaaaaa.... always gets me!
Stargazer1lily Ugh...sux the road was blocked!
holly321 The test should be looked at in the time limit (and I don't think ive ever noticed an OPK get darker after the time limit)... keeping them is really just for an reference. Did your test get darker?

crookshanks10 · March 2018

@dragonette505 Harry Potter for life! I just started The Order of the Phoenix!

I haven't watched The Goblet of Fire yet but I have it at home!

galactickates · March 2018

@meladams10 - I'm not the right person... I don't have many friends with kids but I unfortunately just suck it up when it does happen. I'm really lucky that my few friends with kids are super sensitive to what I'm going through. Have you shared at all about what you're going through? I think some people just need that communication. I bet she has no clue she is hurting you. I think most people take what you say at face value. I bet she could be a good support system if she did know. You might find their is more to her story. You never know?
