Re: WTO Monday 6/11
CD: 38
WAYDTGKU: Acupuncture, BBT, PCOS diet, supplements
R/R: I let myself have a little gluten and dairy at dinner on Sat night. It wasn't a lot, but it made me feel better because I have been so focused on my stupid diet and TTC that I think I am creating way too much stress for myself. So I told myself the occasional dairy or gluten won't hurt me if I just stay away from it 95% of the time. It made me relax a little (for now). I finally heard back from my OB office and have an appt on Thursday for my yearly exam and am going to ask about the Provera and getting CD 3 bloodwork. I was going to get it done at the RE, but I don't think it really matters which place I get bloodwork done.
CS/Q: Ok I am just more confused than ever. I had three days in a row of positive OPKS. Yesterday and the day before, the line was darker than the control line. Along with a lot of watery CM including quite a bit yesterday. I didn't sleep well Sat night and woke up several times and then also woke up super hot and sweating. So I think that Sun morning temp is not at all accurate. No matter if I discard it or leave it, FF will put dotted CHs making CD 36 my O day. But that doesn't seem right if I had a super positive OPK and watery CM the day after that right? Honestly, I don't know why I bother trying to figure it out. I am sure my temp will just be down again tomorrow and it won't matter anyways.
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: BBT/charting, OPK, CoQ10, Prenatals, HIO EOD, softcups
R/R: Not really either, just a funny story.... Every night before bed I set my therm up with plastic cover so it's ready. In the AM, I take my temp and go back to sleep. Some morning's I take the cover off and throw it away when done, sometimes I sit it back on the headboard and dispose of it when I wake up. Well, my cat has PICA and thin plastics are her weakness. Yesterday morning my cover was MIA when I woke up. I'm certain I put it on and fairly sure it was there when I temped. BUT I can't remeber if I threw it away right away or waited.... my cat may or may not have eaten it before or after I temped
CS/Q: Just for kicks. Nothing to see except some fairly consistent temps.
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, green tea, OPKs
R/R: Yesterday, H told me he was going golfing in the afternoon and I cringed. Whenever he goes golfing he always stays out later than planned and is exhausted when he gets home. We BD on Saturday and we were supposed to BD yesterday. But no, H got home super late and was "too tired to try tonight". I was, and still am, crushed. He knew we were supposed to BD yesterday so he should have gotten home earlier or not gone out at all. I wanted to yell at him and make him realize how hard I work to figure out my cycle and track everything so we have the best chance at conceiving. All he has to do to help out is have sex with me a few days in a row or so. If he gives me some BS tonight about being "too tired" again I'm probably going to freak out at him.
Why don't our SOs get it?!?
CS/Q: I got a positive OPK yesterday and one today. I had O pain yesterday as well so I thought that I Oed yesterday. My temp this morning was the same as yesterday, so maybe I Oed today? I'm hoping my temp goes up tomorrow. (I accidentally put in a spoiler and idk how to delete it)
@sparklingdiamond good to hear you relaxed a bit. This is a mentally exhausting process and we need a little bit of enjoyment once in a while. Hopefully your Dr will agree to let you have the provera and bloodwork.
@sparklingdiamond good for you for relaxing! In my unprofessional opinion, a little variation from a diet every now and then is good for a person. I'm still trying to figure out OPKs for my current cycle, but with watery CM maybe your O day was CD 37 or today?
@luckywife10 Ugh that is so frustrating! DH is actually being pretty great about it lately, but there were a few times I was like ugh come on!! You can't be tired. Just get through it lol. But with my cycle being so crazy I am just kinda like whatever at this point. I am really leaning at yesterday being O day, but again...I am sure my temp will be down tomorrow and my body won't have actually done it.
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, OPK, sexing
R/R: my temps are much less crazy than previous cycles so far. I may be inreasonably optimistic, but I feel like my body is starting to calm down after all those years of BC.
CS/Q: I’m missing a couple days due to working through the night.
@prpl11butterfly I laughed at the idea of your cat eating the cover. Pets can be so nasty. My dog loves to jump up in the bed and lick the sheets clean after sex. It’s disgusting. Haha
CD: 1...good morning to you too, AF.
WAYDTGKU: HIO; just downloaded the Clue app today to track my cycles (see below).
R/R: Well, our first "official" cycle was unsuccessful. We had excellent timing too (in retrospect); guess this was not my 20% chance of conceiving month. However, I was SUPER surprised by AF this AM as I wasn't expecting it until next weekend based on previous cycles.
@luckywife10 I'm so sorry. I have been so close to screaming at MF when he says "not tonight" or "we've already done it X times". I feel like to really get through I need to set up a powerpoint presentation with statistics and graphs. SO can be so dense. I hope you can talk to him about it or that he becomes more engaged with the process
@sparklingdiamond I’m glad you gave yourself a little leeway on the diet and are feeling more relaxed! I’m a firm believer in having cheat days or some wiggle room so you can still enjoy eating!
@prpl11butterfly pets are so weird! I had a cat who use to go find dirty socks and DH boxers and carry they down the stairs!
@luckywife10 I’m sorry about DH, they can definitely be frustrating when they just don’t seem to get what all we’re putting into this process! Just tell him in advance that today some bd must happen
! I know, for us, giving DH some advanced notice helps!
@TJtheGoat yay for cycle getting back to normal!
Month/Cycle: 6/6

WAYDTGKU: pnv, b6, charting, bd
R/R: We just had to move to new email addresses at work and of course the process is irritating and not going smoothly. And apparently we’re stuck with webmail until the outlook setup instructions get figured out... yay Monday...
CS/Q: this cycle is likely to be completely out of whack, so trying not focus on charting right now.
@Swiftlet CD1 solidarity. Are you temping and charting in FF? That might clear a lot of things up for you.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: I'm going to try to get in for acupuncture for this cycle. I'm not sure if I want to try to find a new place that's closer to my house or go back to the lady I used to see. She's just so darn far and my appointments with her were SO long. I used to see her after work and not get home until like 7:30, and I can't do that anymore. B complex, temping and charting in FF, scheduling HIO. Thinking about whether or not I need to cut my caffeine down and switch from coffee to tea in the mornings. But I NEED that coffee to function.
R/R: *TW Possible CP - I'm not actually sure*
Anyway, on to the next. Thankfully we don't have any trips separating us this month, so I'm hoping we'll be able to get good timing. DH is actually on the other side of the country this week for work, which is good timing since I have AF anyway.
CS/Q: Here's my chart from last month in case anyone wants to examine it.

prpl11butterfly That chart is beautiful! I might’ve crooned when I saw it
luckywife10 I admire you for your patience with dealing with YH. It’s so tempting to lash out when they hurt/anger us, but I’ve come to realize that hinders communication. Do let him know how much that crushed you though, so he is aware of the situation. And FX all goes down well tonight.
LElkCot Why do you think your cycle is out of whack?
@general_organa That limbo state really sucks, I’m sorry. It sounds like it’s good that you’ve been able to lengthen your LP though. What was it before?
I’m still working on my tag game y’all. I want to comment on everyone’s situation but always running out of time. Just wanna wish you all a great start to the week

WAYDTGKU: the usual plus finally added in some BD
R/R: Our landlords are having A/C installed in our house today, I’m so stoked! It’ll be our first summer in San Jose and I’ve heard the heat can get brutal.
CS/Q: My chart is a mess, but messy info is better than no info...that’s what I’m going with

Is 11 days short for LP? Maybe I should start taking B complex too. Thanks for sharing your info!
@Swiftlet and @general_organa sorry about CD1
Question: Has anyone noticed changes in their CM when drinking green tea consistently? I've been drinking green tea every day this cycle and have had more EWCM in the last few days than I have ever had before.
@prpl11butterfly softcups?
Month/Cycle: 1/1 this go round, 12 overall counting benched cycles
CD: 9
WYD: Fish oil, B complex, folic acid, PNL, Vit D, Magnesium, Charting, HIO of course
R/R: Today has been a miserable day. There are a number of ppl I love dealing with some really shitty things right now and I can’t do much to help any of then except offer my love and shoulder.
CS/Q: I didn’t realize that B helped lengthen LP maybe that’s why my cycle has been a day longer each of my last 4 cycles. I’ve also being Oing a day later though so really my LP isn’t longer. But I hate not Oing until day 20

If anyone is still up, I have a question and hope this is an OK thread to ask. I picked up some ClearBlue Digital OPKs to add to the Wondfos I’ve been using but I just read the instructions and it seems I should’ve started using them at CD8 (I’m now at CD11). Would I just be wasting these strips if I started using them so late? (I can’t test until tomorrow FMU, so CD12). I didn’t realize the first test was to establish a baseline
