Re: WTO Thurs 4/12
CD: ?
WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt
R/R: Another not great night sleep. I ended up temping at 4:30 and 6 and ended up taking the lower by .03* (4:30am). Got dotted crosshairs, but I’m skeptical of it because I didn’t have much CM, and especially not the day/day before I Oed. I almost think my temps are more consistent if I temp whenever I happen to wake up just because I seem to sleep better. That’s what all the “pre-O” temps are and it seems like a nice little grouping.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What’s something that people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look ridiculous?
Smoking and vaping. Especially vaping.
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: OPK, CM, BBT
R/R: I'm so excited to get home from out trip today. We still have about 12 hours of driving, but I'm pretty excited. There is nothing like the comforts of home.
CS/Q: I haven't been temping while we've been traveling because I feel like it's pretty much useless.
GTKY: What’s something that people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look ridiculous?
Driving around with their music blasting.
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: pnv, cm, temping, trying preseed this month, followup with RE next Friday
R/R: Combo R/R- I turn 30 tomorrow! I wish I could be more excited, but ttc has really tainted these last couple years and I’m not a fan of crossing this decade line without a baby, or even pg. Also the place I wanted to get my cake from is closed for vacation this weekend. On the plus side, I can try to look at it as a fresh start.
CS/Q: I’ll probably O tomorrow or Saturday.
GTKY: What’s something that people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look ridiculous? Agreed on vaping. Also, super high heels in a casual setting (like 4”+ with jeans)- you don’t look sophisticated, you look uncomfortable.
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Nothing at the moment. Currently having VERY bad cramps and a heavier AF than normal. I'm assuming this is in part due to the HSG. I was having super light AFs before so maybe it's helping something.
R/R: Rant: No rants today! Rave: Fun weekend coming up! Going to see A Quiet Place tomorrow with DH. Has anyone seen it? It has 96% on Rotten Tomatoes!
CS/Q: Nothing to see here.
GTKY: What’s something that people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look ridiculous? Those people who think it's funny/cool to be an asshole.
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: pnv, charting, temping, OPK, b complex, coq10, vit d, magnesium, fertility testing, supp progesterone after O.
R/R: got a solid smiley today! A little unexpected since I usually get 2-3 days of high fertility before peak, but we're just going to roll with it. Had a great workout with my trainer this morning too so I'm feeling great.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What’s something that people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look ridiculous? The giant lifted spoiler on their car and the super loud exhuast. Also, the guys who think it's cool to hang fake balls from their tow hitch.

@lin0442 - agree on the heels. a cute shorter pair with jeans? awesome. Super high, they're trying way too hard to be cute and it makes them look both annoying and high maintenance. And I'm really sorry about the upcoming 30th birthday. All these timelines and plans we have can make what should be fun occasions just awful if things aren't going our way. I hope you can see it as a fresh start and not focus on what's not there/happening at this moment. big hugs to you.
@meladams10 - sorry about the crampy heavier AF. Maybe it is the HSG and you're getting all this so you can get a brand spanking fresh spongy lining for next cycle. Let me know what you think of the movie (no spoilers, but is it worth going to?) I hate going to the movies and spending all that money for a ticket if i haven't heard from someone that it's worth the dough.

WAYDTGKU: BBT/charting
R/R: After a super light AF after getting my IUD out last month, it looks like she's trying to make up for lost time with this one. Or, more likely, I just got super spoiled with not really having one for years and had blocked out the torture that it truly is. I'm definitely feeling a bit more relaxed now that I've started temping this cycle vs. last. I just felt like I had no clue then, and now I feel like maybe I'm getting the hang of it a bit more. On non-TTC related subjects, we have a really busy weekend planned visiting a bunch of different people (friends/family) almost back to back. So that will be a good distraction and should be fun.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What’s something that people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look ridiculous? I'm in one of those states where winter refuses to let go, and the temp has been back down in the twenties and teens. But the club girls refuse to acknowledge this and you drive by certain parts of town at night on a Friday, and there they are with no coat, short sleeves and short skirts. You don't look sexy! You look like you can't figure out the basics of weather!
@meggyme - I also have trouble sleeping, and I agree with your conclusion. Taking it when one wakes naturally seems like it should get fairly consistent and reliable results. At least that's what I'm going with now! But I'm totally new to this, so if that's completely off, I might need to make more of a system than I currently have.
@babydream0916 & @catlady2015 - Yes, the loud music from cars! And the obnoxious fake balls. And the "Calvin peeing on whatever" decals. And the profile of women mudflaps. I think I'm sensing a theme here: people do really dumb things with their cars!
Question: does anyone have a BBT that doesn’t beep much? Mine beeps 3 times when it’s done taking a temp.
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: charting, temping, hio, pnv, opks, doing it all
R/R: My manager is out of town the next two days! Freedom!!!! Aaaaand H is going to a nerd party on Saturday so I get the house to myself to just relax! I'm so excited you have no idea! No chores!
CS/Q: there isn't much to see (although I'm proud of my HIO section) but since I'm actually temping I'll share with the group....

CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPK, PNV
R/R: H and I have been cleaning and organizing! We even went through stuff in the garage of what we want to keep vs. sell. It feels so good to get things organized! I've been going through all our clothes, and putting them away in totes.
CS/Q: I'm starting this cycles OPK's today. FF says I'm now in my fertile days, and it's predicting O to be on the 15th. Lot's of HIO will be happening the next few days! I still can't decide if we should do the deed daily, or skip a day. It's hard to know what to do!
GTKY: What’s something that people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look ridiculous? Sagging pants....IT'S SO STUPID! I don't want to see your ugly underwear.

@babydream0916 What's the worst is when people's cars are booming and rattling with their crappy loud bass!
@lin0442 Happy early birthday! I'm with you on the 30 thing. I just try to keep reminding myself that it just hasn't been my time yet. We still have plenty of child bearing years ahead of us!
@catlady2015 Yay for your solid smiley! Thank you for your optimism.. let's hope AF from hell is worth it! I will definitely update you on the movie!
@auburnvelvet86 I hope you have a wonderful weekend! It's so nice having distractions from TTC.
@galactickates GIRL! Please accept my high five via internet! What a streak! Fx that this is your cycle! Can't get better timing than that! LOL.
@Whitmore1027 WOOHOO for getting organized! Hopefully ya'll are marking lots of items as "sell"! I agree with you in regards to the HIO schedule. Some say everyday and some say every other day! UGH! My DH and I are going to go with every other day this cycle.
@meggyme Sorry your having rough times sleeping!!
@lin0442 Happy early birthday! Welcome to the 30's! I like it so far. haha!
@babydream0916 Safe travels back home!
@meladams10 Sorry about the heavy AF! I haaate those. Glad you have a fun weekend coming up! We honestly didn't have as much to sell as I thought! So now I am wondering if a garage sale is worth it. We have like...a ton of china (like Christmas china and stuff) and some decor and old games and stuff, but it would be a pretty sad sale. lol For us, it's hard to know when to HIO because my H had a low sperm count back in 2015 and we don't know if that's still the case. Sooo I don't know!
@auburnvelvet86 Giirl, I know the feeling regarding your AF. I got my IUD out in December, and January was light as always. (With the IUD, mine was always light, but lasted like 6-7 days. But now it's SO FREAKING HEAVY and lasted 3-4 days. I can't decide if I like the heavy but shorter better then the light but longer..haha). So I feel ya there!
@galactickates My H is going to a game night tomorrow, and I just wish I could go with him. lol Awesome HIO streak!!

@catlady2015 Yeah, I think I need to stick with EOD. We have been doing that for the most part every cycle so far, and no luck, so I was wanting to do something different...but it will probably be better to stick to the plan. **TW Loss** The CP I had in February, we BD on cycle day 12, 13 and 14, 15 (O day was cycle day 15). It was the most we BD during fertile time. I don't know if the CP could have been due to a not so strong swimmer from us doing it too much, or the fact that we even got pregnant by doing it a couple days in a row was a good thing. So I am wondering if I want to try 2 days, then skip, then 2 days again. Am I being too analytical? haha!**End TW**
@meladams10 I didn't want to post to a selling site at first, but I am thinking maybe that might be better since we really don't have that much stuff...I buy stuff from facebook marketplace a lot!
@auburnvelvet86 Haha!! That's crazy! I feel like it's nuts how different your cycle can be with and without the BC. It's definitely something to get used to.

By the way, to everyone else, I just realized that I've been posting an individual reply for each person instead of just putting it all in one post. You can tell I'm still new to the community. Sorry for being that obnoxious person. Hopefully I'm getting the hang of things.
Mass tagging makes my eye twitch
@catlady2015 Thank you. Also those fake ball things are ridiculous. I can’t believe people actually put them on their car.
@meladams10 Here’s to those childbearing years being sooner rather than later!
@auburnvelvet86 Agreed, I miss not worrying about af on an iud. I also miss the near total lack of hormonal acne lol. Hopefully you won’t need to deal with af for very long!
CD: 18 days past iud removal
WAYDTGKU: bd, bbt, pnv, cm and cp
R/R: Our community pool opens this weekend. Time to get my tan on!!
CS/Q: I don't know. I'm so annoyed. My body shows signs of O but the next day nothing. Repeat.
GTKY: What’s something that people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look ridiculous? Speedos. Especially old men in Speedos.
Month/Cycle: 2/2

R/R: rant: mentioned above, but this week has been ugh. Knocked out of commission with the worst migraine I've had in a while the other day, and generally blah the rest of the week. Hopefully it'll be over now and was just me readjusting to my antidepressant.
rave: tomorrow's Friday, and I have a cake in the oven as I type!
CS/Q: FF says today should start my fertile window, but I'm not seeing any change in CM or OPKs. But, last month I didn't have any changes until the day before O. So I think I'm just going to treat it as if this month will be the same and treat today as the beginning of the FW to be safe. But dang it'd be nice to have a longer warning period!
GTKY: What’s something that people think makes them look cool, but actually makes them look ridiculous?
Bragging about not liking/watching [insert mainstream thing here].
@meggyme sorry you haven't been sleeping well, I hate when I get into a pattern like that. I hope you get a better night tonight!
@lin0442 happy birthday! maybe a birthday O will be good luck.
@meladams10 sorry about the worse AF, but yay for fun plans!
@auburnvelvet86 I used to laugh at the clubbing girls in college going out in December, they'd have high heels and tiny miniskirts with no jacket, and be shivering like crazy.
@Whitmore1027 I always do that, I let things get bad/cluttered/messy, but then it feels so good to get it clean again! We're coming out of a messy period (housework really slides when both of you are in depressive funks at the same time o_o) but we actually have both weekend days off together this weekend, so I want to clean ALL THE THINGS! And also maybe finally get started on reorganizing the guest room, which will eventually become a nursery once we get KU so we want to do things like get the chest freezer out of there.
@gorgeousariel It just snowed here this week, the idea of a pool opening yet is mind-boggling to me lol. But we ARE going to hit the 70s this weekend so yay!
