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.
How I feel all of the time.

Month/Cycle: 13/15 (4 benched)
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: opk, hio, pnv, acupuncture, CoQ10, Vit BCDE, stuff.....
R/R: Moanday! I feel like the weekend was nowhere near long enough honestly. Saturday I was at an instructor even so spent four hours working out. I strongly that I deserved cupcakes afterwards, which I got on the way home! Yesterday was a very low key day of chores and sunshine.
CS/Q:
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: OPKS, HIO
R/R: Rant: No rants today! Rave: Did a lot to the house this weekend! Hopefully we'll get it more presentable this week
CS/Q: I'm hoping to get a positive OPK today! My temp drop looks promising.. I think?
@meladams10 looks promising to me! Do you also track CM? I see it's a medicated cycle, so idk if that effects your CM.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, opk's, green tea for cm.
R/R: I did NOT want to go to work this morning... but luckily I feel like I have the perfect work load to balance keeping me busy and not being overwhelmed (for once).
CS/Q: Not much to see. Will start OPK's in a week.
@suzycupcake thanks for getting everything started today! You’re on it this Monday!
@nitnat007 you definitely earned that cupcake! And I’m with you on the weekends feeling too short.
@meladams10 yay for a productive weekend! And yes, I’d agree your temps look promising!
@meggyme interested to hear if you think the green tea helps with cm!
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: pnv, B6, CoQ10, charting, bd
R/R: it was a great weekend - too short, as always. But productive and got some nice time with MH and the in-laws!
CS/Q: does anyone use resting hr to track ovulation? I’m wanting to get a new Fitbit and was debating one with a hr monitor for helping determine o.
@meladams10 same boat re:O! Having the house to focus on is a great distraction. Don't rush through so you have something to occupy you during the TWW!
@meggyme I like being just busy enough. Hopefully the rest of your week goes the same.
Month/Cycle: 11/8
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: BBT/charting, OPK, CoQ10, prenatal, HIO EOD, soft ups (which by the way was a hysterical endeavor the other night and DH was traumatized by the size lmao)
R/R: No major rants. Had an awesome day yesterday hosting the Fathers Day BBQ. As daunting as it was hosting that many people (11) I'm really glad we did. It just felt so nice to have everyone together. AND the best part was that we were able to break the long standing tradition of running out of propane!
CS/Q: Temp drop today and expecting +OPK tonight. I don't know why, and I should totally know better, but I'm feeling really good this cycle....
meladams10 FX for a + tonight. Are you selling your house?
@meggyme That's always a good feeling when you get to work and your not overwhelmed or twiddling your thumbs.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: BBT charting, OPKs, prenatals, HIO
R/R: I work in an office with only one other person in my room, and she's finally back from vacay! It's so quiet and boring at work without her.
CS/Q: Waiting on a temp drop, but this is my first cycle temping in a long time, so I'm not quite sure what normal is. I'm guessing around CD18, but I'm going to start OPKs either tomorrow or the next day.
@meggyme Clomid does make CM difficult to decipher so I've just been relying on OPKs and HIO!
@LElkCot The weekends are always too short!
@prpl11butterfly Hopefully you get your positive soon! Looks like you're headed that way with your temp
@marebear15 Thank you! We sold our first house and are in our new one now
@suzycupcake Thank you for getting this going
@meladams10 Fx for your temp and good on you for being productive this weekend!
@meggyme A lot of the Monday-itis going around. I'm glad you have a good balance today.
@LElkCot Everyone had a productive weekend! Glad you had fun with your family
@prpl11butterfly Fx for your temp and your cycle. Was your BBQ just for family or family and friends?
Month/Cycle: 17/15

WAYDTGKU: Trying not to murder everyone.
R/R: I really thought this month was it. Our timing was better than it has ever been and I wasn't having any AF symptoms. She showed up at Tim Horton's on Sunday, a day late. Of course, my hopes had increased a bit by the delay so I was doing my best to hold it together while hanging with my friends. I didn't do to badly. Fake it 'til you make it. I just really wanted to tell MF that he was gonna be a dad on Father's Day. I like the neatness of those things. At least this is my last week at work and AF won't be here for the wedding next week.
CS/Q: -
https://FertilityFriend.com/home/6c5a2d
@meri-mac nothing like AF being late to really build you up and tear you down. BBQ was just family. I only have 1 friend and she sold her soul to Walmart so doesn't get much weekend time off. Until end of the month, then its on! Lol
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: BBT,CM,OPK,HIO
R/R: Finally letting our baby chickens mingle with the older hens, they weren`t too happy about sharing their roost with them. But they have gotten so big they don`t fit in their close off pen anymore.
CS/Q: nope
@meggyme definitely understand the reluctance to add supplements without Dr approval, I’m the same!
@prpl11butterfly thanks and I see what you mean, seems to line up some cycles, but not on others.
@meri-mac sending hugs - it’s so hard when af is late and your hopes get up that much more. I hope this week flys by and your wedding is absolutely amazing!
@nitnat007 four hours?! Yikes! You so deserve cupcakes after that. We also had a day of chores and sunshine. Got pretty hot here!
@meladams10 fx for a positive OPK soon!
@meggyme we’re pretty quiet here today...not to jinx myself or anything!
@LElkCot productivity always makes me feel good
@prpl11butterfly ooh a cookout sounds delightful! We rescheduled ours because my sister is getting married next weekend and we’re all a bit frazzled with that but hopefully soon for us!
@meri-mac I am right there beside you. Silly to get my hopes up for a cute Father’s Day reveal but I’d be lying if I hadn’t thought about it more than a few times. AF came early for me so not nearly the heartbreak you had with being a day late. Big hugs
AFM...

WAYDTGKU Sex! Tracking cycles on the Clue app.
R/R Busy weekend but short work week as my sister gets married on Friday and I’m off starting Weds. excited to get gussied up and have fun. According to clue, FW is next week- we’ll see as my cycles have been shortening each time. I’ve been drinking more water this cycle to see if it helps with my normally predictable CM.
Happy Monday friends

WAYDTGKU: Ava, CM, OPK, Pre-Seed, Myo-Inositol
R/R: I got a new car this weekend! And we are finally getting some much needed rain. I also have my serum AMH this afternoon. Only downer is that I'll have to wait 2 weeks to go over the results with my RE.
CS/Q: Nope.
@nitnat007 I would say that deserved a cupcake!
@meladams10 FX you turn a positive OPK today!
@meggyme hopefully you are busy enough the day will go by fast.
LElkCot my Ava tracks resting hr at night. I'm not sure how it decides on 1 number to track through from the whole night. I'm guessing from my deepest sleep?
@prpl11butterfly I really hope you turn a positive OPK today! FX!
@meri-mac I'm sorry to see you over here
@prpl11butterfly your chart is so pretty, you stared vag temping this cycle?
@meri-mac that’s tough thing to happen especially when out with friends. Hugs
CD: 16, I hate my CD and date being close I keep mixing them up
WAYDTGKU: Temps, HIO EOD, PNT, B Complex, Fish oil, folic acid, Vit D
R/R: Not much, bought paint yesterday for the upstairs, but its supposed to rain all week so not sure when i'll start. Something to occupy me during TWW.

@meggyme I am jealous of your balanced work load lol. I feel so frazzled this morning. eeek
@LElkCot Glad you had a great weekend with everyone!
@prpl11butterfly I picked out chocolate raspberry, caramel pecan pie, carrot cake and salted caramel. They were so good!! I am all about my cupcakes lol. Way to go on your BBQ!! MH is always paranoid that we are going to run out of propane too.
@marebear15 It was an instructor conference. So we ran through all the new material for all the programs. Some stayed and did the full 8 hours. I decided that the four was enough for me lol. I did bodypump, bodystep and CXWorx, with education in between. It was fun 1500 calories burned, but I was tired after.
@meri-mac I am so sorry to you join us here again.
@Stargazer1lily Would the older hens hurt the babies at all? Hope they all adjust and become friends.
@Swiftlet Yay for a short week! hope you have so much fun at the wedding.
@thrgirlwhowaited Which car did you get? Do you love it?
@kindbytealikat Nothing like a fresh coat of paint in the house. Really brightens things up. Is it a specific room or just the entire upstairs?
@purpleteacher82 Welcome! So jealous of your summer off. Do you have plans for your time off?
@Swiftlet It sounds like you have a fun weekend ahead! Weddings are always so much fun!
@thrgirlwhowaited Thank you! Congrats on your new car.. so exciting!! I'm thinking about trying pre-seed. What's your review of it?
@kindbytealikat I love that blue color! So pretty! Good choice
@purpleteacher82 Enjoy your summer!
@meri-mac sorry you had to start a new cycle. If it keeps you mind busy you can flood us with all kinds of wedding details becuase I would LOVE to hear more! Weddings are so exciting.
@kindbytealikat love those colors. They will look nice with your furniture color for sure! I love having an accent wall.

WAYDTGKY: temping, opks should be here today-just in time, CM which is starting to pick up already this cycle. All things making me hopeful for this cycle. Thinking it really did take my body his long to regulate after IUD.
R/R: got two days of rain which we NEEDED!
CS/Q: so why does FF give you an open circle? I didn’t think my temps were too far off of each other but after I put in today’s temp it opened yesterday’s circle.
Haha I noticed my battery level when I posted the SS. It’s summer so I live in a land of endless weekends and no care right now lol.
@JLaVO888 it could be the timing. If I accidentally forget to put the right time in it gives me open circles.
@meladams10 woot! Clomid for the win!
@nitnat007 those all sound devine! Especially the salted caramel mmmmm....
@thrgirlwhowaited woohoo to Ford! Thanks for keeping us going
@kindbytealikat yes, just switched and so so glad I did. Love those colors!
@purpleteacher82 Sounds like a great way to spend the summer.
@kindbytealikat love those colors!
