WAYDTGKU: Waiting for AF to GTFO
R/R: Rant: **TW** I commented to my fiance on how everyone around me seems to be KU including a stranger in the Costco checkout who had twins. He said to me "Why can't you just be happy for them?" I almost screamed. Of course, I am happy for them, but it is hard when it feels like everyone else is getting pregnant. It isn't though I wish these ladies weren't pregnant; I just wish I was with them**TW End** Rave:Last day for AF!! We are trying a new system this cycle whereby we HIO the two days after my app says I O. It is a theory based on my cycle last November. We will see if it works. I am even more impatient for O day this time around! Something I thought was impossible.
CS/Q: -
GTKY: To what fictional place would you most like to go? Like most 90s kids, I am still waiting on my Hogwarts letter, so Hogwarts! I would relive my teenager years happily if I got to go to Hogwarts.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: CD1! AF just showed up. I think this will be the only time I’m this excited for AF, but it’s nice to have a starting point after getting the Mirena out and being in limbo.
WAYDTGKU: temping, OPK, BDing, CM/CP
R/R: Mini rant, anyone having issues with the app? It kept freezing up and shutting down on me. Reinstalling it seems to have helped. Rave: I have Friday off and it’s supposed to be on the warmer side so that’s all I need for extra motivation for the next couple of days.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: To what fictional place would you most like to go? Hands down Hogwarts!!! Oh my goodness, that would be just the coolest thing ever!
ETA the rest of my comment
I don’t remember what app and what other tracking you are using? I really need almost every possible trackable sign in FF (except ferning) to really pinpoint my O dates. If I go by temps alone or OPKs alone I also have stopped on -2 in some of my early cycles as I was accidentally picking up the start of the LH surge, not ovulation itself.
Month/Cycle: 36/35

WAYDTGKU: All the pills and waiting for RE results.
R/R: Today I was not so productive in the morning, but did make some good progress this afternoon. That was until DH came home early as he has an infection in a tendon in a finger so the doctor signed him sick as using it on a keyboard and mouse all day is not helping it. He also got an MRI on it as they’re worried about the infection. It’s been swollen and painful for a week. I didn’t say “I told you to see the doctor sooner” as only one look from me was necessary to convey that message ;-) but I’m pleased he at least went before the Easter holiday weekend!
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: To what fictional place would you most li@meri-mac
Oooooh lots of places. Hogwarts yes, but also Narnia. And probably up the magic faraway tree too (very old Enid Blyton story series for those who have never heard of it). Pretty much all those children’s stories where you have a gateway to another world and can go backwards and forwards between them.

@emmasemm No problem! I didn't want to be obnoxious or pushy by starting again, but I was twiddling my thumbs today
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU:. Waiting to see if I am benched this month. I go next week about getting my tonsils removed.
R/R:. Rave, this is literally my first natural not off BCP, prometrium or clomid period in over a year, so at least my body is working without help now, hopefully it continues to do so. Rant, CD1 is enough of a rant I think, but I also hit my elbow on Sunday, and my arm still hurts to the point I can't lift my arm up, it hurts up in my shoulder.
CS/Q: does anyone use other apps besides FF to track O? I feel like I had 3 possible days and if I messed with symptoms and temps, it would change. (That seems a bit obvious, but I have poor sleep, so I feel my temps are always a bit off, plus I was sick/fevered in my FW, and, I don't think I am the best at CM/CP judging.

@meri-mac, DH used to get in me about not being happy for others, I explained that I am happy for them, but sad for me. I used to think I was jealous, but I don't even think that is the feeling, I think it is simply sadness. He is on board now, and unfortunately we are both bitter together.
@emmasemm, I hope your DH's finger gets better soon, what did he do? If it is infected, what will they have to do for him?
CD:9
WAYDTGKU:bbt, opk, pnv, kind of CM, bd obvs
R/R: Was sick off work yesterday, used it to do some study and forked out $800 for my yearly registration which was a pain in the arse. Had a wee barney with H last night, I swear no matter how many times I explain this whole ttgp thing it is still a complete mystery. he is worried about low sperm count so has been taking vitamins and putting a cold pack on when he gets in from work, sticking to cold showers etc. I also told him he would have sex every other day over the FW, after having already explained when that was. I was falling asleep on the couch and he was having a go because he decided I meant every other day for the whole month, which wouldn't be a bad thing except I was half asleep and trying to initiate anything by having a go just wasn't going to work.
CS/Q: rocky temps got me wondering if I should temp vaginally.
GTKY: To what fictional place would you most like to go? I'm with the rest of you Hogwarts, and I will have to be magic would be much to upsetting to be a muggle in a hogwarts world. And just to further nerd, I am a slytherin.

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, pnv, BD
R/R: my biggest rant is my job right now. Get your shiz together folks.
CS/Q: If my ovulation dates have always been between CD14 and CD18, why would FF estimate my O date to be CD13 this month?
