Re: TWW- Thurs 4/5

  • Month/Cycle: 1/1

    Cycle Day/DPO: 19/6

    Timing: -4,-2,O

    Typical LP length: 9-11

    Testing: not yet

    R/R:  Rant: I went to Starbuck's to get work done and the internet speed/quality is TERRIBLE.  So now I'm using my phone data to connect my laptop and will probably just have to go back to work.  I hate trying to do admin stuff at work because when I'm there people rely on me as a crutch to answer questions.

    Rave:  DH is playing softball tonight and I opted out this season.  Which means I will have ALONE TIME!  I am the type of introvert that likes to be around people and has a serious case of FOMO but I definitely NEED alone time to recharge.

    CS/Q: nope

    GTKY: What is your current favorite song?  Wait by Maroon 5

  • @quidditchcapn1120 what line of work are you in? I'd love to be able to work from a coffee shop/home sometimes. We are opposite types of introverts; I LOVE my alone time. I completely understand really needing it sometimes. 

    Month/Cycle: 19

    Cycle Day/DPO: 23/12

    Timing: IUI

    Typical LP length:  14

    Testing: if there is a need to, maybe one day next week.

    R/R:  I didn't prepare anything for breakfast this week and I'm really regretting that. Sugar filled bar for breakfast today made me feel a little sick. RAVE: we have a wedding Friday night, but Saturday DH has a work thing most of the day, so I get some alone time to relax and do whatever. Also planning to do a bunch of cooking this weekend and do some freezer meals too. Anyone have any recipes to share?

    CS/Q: 

    GTKY: What is your current favorite song?  I'm so out of touch with "current" songs. I literally have no idea what is popular right now. I was listening to some old Foo Fighters albums recently and was really enjoying that.

  • @Avrilmai I'm a pediatric dentist and I run a residency program.  Thursdays are my admin day though so I always get out of the clinic to answer emails, catch up on charts, etc.  It took a long time for my supervisor to agree to it though.  What do you do? 

    DH does not understand that I am an introvert because I do like socializing.  He is the epitome of extroverted.  However, he is totally energized by being around a lot of people, whereas it wears.me.out.
  • @quidditchcapn1120 my H plays hockey every Tuesday and it's always like my ritual to watch This is Us and crush some chicken wings. I love spending time with him but man those Tuesday nights are my jam
    @Avrilmai What kind of recipes are you looking for? I have a great crockpot pulled pork one that took me years to perfect and it freezes well. I also love soup season but I guess that depends on what part of the county you're in! 

    Month/Cycle: 18

    Cycle Day/DPO: 27/9

    Timing: IUI

    Typical LP length: 10

    Testing: I tested HPT today, beta Tuesday

    R/R:  I got a summons yesterday to testify in superior court on 4/10 which is supposed to be my beta! Blood draws are at like 7:30 and I don't need to be at the courthouse until 9, but I might have to move it just so I'm not stressed and running around. 

    CS/Q: I did have a question that I put in spoiler and added a TW on the IF board but apparently it triggered everyone so now I'm just falling into google rabbit holes

    Cycle Day/DPO: 35/9

    Timing: -3

    Typical LP length: 13 days

    Testing: April 18ish

    R/R: Omg. We lost power around midnight and to my knowledge (at work where power is back) still do not have it. Everything in my fridge is likely ruined. My dog ripped my sheets and waterproof bedliner because I was nice enough to leave him the the warm bedroom when I left instead of the cold dining room. Welp, guess where he is now...

    CS/Q: Please stalk. I'm not sure what's happening here and I'm *trying* to remain level headed...

    GTKY: What is your current favorite song BeBe Rexa "let it be"  *TW loss mentioned

    I started hearing it constantly after my MC. I feel like it's a sign to just be patient and accept what is.

    Eta-  We are going on 12hrs no power now.

  • @prpl11butterfly Honestly I hate charting because of how crazy it makes me! As long as it stays over the crosshairs, you're good. If it starts to drop like 2 or 3 days in a row, that's when you panic. But your temps are actually pretty high, why are you worried?
  • @leilee101 I'm not worried, kinda freaked out. I wasn't even expecting to O, doc said it was highly unlikely to happen again before my first real AF. I had accepted that, was okay with it. But now I'm feeling like maybe..... and that's got me like "whoa". I'm also dreading first AF because I'm hearing it's rough. I'm due to start on Tuesday, when I happen to be in a 2 day training session.

    Timing: -4,-3,O

    Typical LP length: 12

    Testing: nope

    R/R:  Spotted cross hairs disappeared this morning, Hopefully they come back in the next couple of days.  :/

    CS/Q: nope

    GTKY: What is your current favorite song? River - Eminem ft Ed Sheeran 
  • @prpl11butterfly so sorry I did not know your history, I should have checked before responding. I'm so sorry for your loss! From your chart it looks like you O'd. I think that can happen, but doctors recommend waiting for first AF to try again just to try to get your cycles back to normal. On the bright side, at least you have an idea when the witch is coming so your can be prepared mentally. 
  • @leilee101 no worries on the history. And the giant pimple on my chin also agrees I did O :joy:. But being "ready" for AF is the only reason I'm temping this cycle. When I had my follow up, I said to doc "what if we don't use protection in this time and, while I know highly unlikely, get pregnant?" And his response was "it is highly unlikely but if it happens we'll talk then". I took that as him saying if we did, it wouldn't increase risk. If he had said beyond doubt to use condoms, we would have. H wouldnt have allowed us not to. Initially he told me waiting was only for dating purposes. So needless to say, I was pretty shocked when I got those temp increases and then the cross hairs appeared. 

    @stargazerlily407 I do love that song too but it's been played so much lately I'm annoyed.
  • Month/Cycle: 6

    Cycle Day/DPO: 28/8  

    Timing: Good

    Typical LP length: 9/10ish?

    Testing: I don't plan to

    R/R: Rant: I have had a terrible time with sleep this week! Waking up multiple times during the night :( Hopefully I can get a good night's sleep tonight. Rave: I'm unsure if it was the HSG, but things are going better this cycle. I won't say exactly why, because I know the second I do, the universe will throat punch me. 

    CS/Q: N/A

    GTKY: What is your current favorite song? Oh man, anything by Miranda Lambert and new T Swift. Also Jolene has been on repeat lately for some reason :) 
  • @quidditchcapn1120 I'm exactly the same way! Alone time is so good for the soul! AHH! I just noticed on another one of your comments that you understand my line of work. I'm a program manager for a psychiatry residency :) 
    @Avrilmai Have fun at the wedding this weekend. Weddings are so fun! 
    @leilee101 Fx this is your cycle!
    @prpl11butterfly Sorry for your crazy day! I hope you have a better rest of the week. At least tomorrow's Friday! 
    @Stargazer1lily Charting can be so stressful :( I'm so glad we have it and have the knowledge, but some days it's just UGGGH! I hope your cross hairs come back! 


  • @leilee101 crockpot pulled pork sounds good to me. I don't eat beef, but otherwise I'm open to trying new things
    @meladams10 I feel you on the terrible sleep, poor sleep can really mess with all areas of life

    well @quidditchcapn1120 & @meladams10 I work with residents too. I'm the mental health provider for patients in a resident staffed clinic

  • @Avrilmai Haha that's awesome!! Most of the time people have no clue what I do, and it's hard to explain! GME united on this board! 
  • @quidditchcapn1120 Haha, you sound *exactly* like me!  I call myself an introverted extrovert now (the FOMO is real).  I was the highest form of extrovert when I was younger, but it was just so exhausting having to do all the things.  :D

    @prpl11butterfly I'm so sorry you had a cruddy night/morning...I hope your day gets better!  I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to charts, but I think yours looks promising!

    Month/Cycle: 5/3

    Cycle Day/DPO: 22/6

    Timing: -3, -1, 0

    Typical LP length: 12ish?

    Testing: My dumb ass tested this morning...at 6 dpo. *rolls eyes at self* I'm going to try to hold off until Monday, but I'm just so super impatient.

    R/R: I'm just feeling super stabby about a hospital in small town KS where my IL's live.  Late Saturday night/early Easter morning, FIL goes to the ER with symptoms he had when he had his 2nd heart attack 10 years ago.  His BP was 212/104, so they adjusted his BP meds and had him follow up with his doc on Monday.  They said he would need to do a stress test in Wichita (bigger town 4 hours away) but couldn't get him in until Thursday (today).  I thought that was quite the long wait and have been so scared something was going to happen to him in the meantime.  Well, yesterday evening he returned to the ER with chest pains and they life flighted him to Wichita immediately.  99% blockage and they inserted 2 stents (which now gives him a total of 4 stents).  Maybe I'm wrong, but I just feel like they could have discovered this or at least run some more tests on him at his home hospital.  I'm probably just being salty.   

    CS/Q: Not at the moment

    GTKY: What is your current favorite song?  Oh gosh, I listen to Lithium (90's Alternative...@Avrilmai yessss, Foo Fighters!) and SXMFly (80's & 90's Rap) on Sirius, so I don't know any new music.

    Timing: -1,1,2

    Typical LP length: unsure

    Testing: Maybe Saturday, 17dpo

    R/R: We got snow again.... and it's April. I'm ready for spring to get here and for the weather to be somewhere other than the teens. 

    CS/Q: 

    GTKY: What is your current favorite song?

    I love music, so that's a hard one, and it always depends on what mood I'm in. But lately I've been loving 'A Million Dreams' from 'The Greatest Showman' soundtrack.

  • @quidditchcapn1120 @meladams10 @Avrilmai  i'm actually doing my residency training so I guess I'm also in the GME spectrum :)

    @Stargazer1lily I didn't temp this month for the same reason. Got too stressful!

    Month/Cycle: 9/9

    Cycle Day/DPO: 22/6

    Timing:? 0, +1 

    Typical LP length: 12

    Testing: nope

    R/R:  not really temping this cycle so no idea about timing although I have a feeling it wasn't good at all. OPK was positive day 14 when I usually O around 17. I feel like every time I notice a pattern regarding my cycle my body switches things around and it becomes unpredictable. :#  Rave: The weekend is almost here! 

    CS/Q: nothing to see

    GTKY: What is your current favorite song?  "I like me better" by Lauv. This song is stuck in my head!! 
  • @babydream0916 We are expecting snow tomorrow. 100% over it.

    *lurk from nowhere* @prpl11butterfly To your ute: Attention ute! You must keep the temps high. I repeat....

    @Stargazer1lily tb is acting weird right now and won't let me tit your post. I tried tree times. They are experiencing some kind of a service load. Load. *snicker*


    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.
