CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: just decided to start trying! Have to wait a few weeks
CD: not a clue !
WAYDTGKU: going to try that basal temperature for sure !
R/R: rant for sure. TW-
Bf just found has testicular cancer, had a testicle removed just yesterday which is why we have now decided to start trying in 6 weeks.
CS/Q: question, just wondering if anyone has any experience with testicular cancer in their partners? This is all so new. I was recommended to try an online forum. I also hope I filled this out properly especially with the TW.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: CP/CM/BBT, OPKs, Supplements, Netflix and Chill
R/R: DH is working this weekend, but it gave me some time to make/can some peach jam and a few different pickles during the day. I also got in a lot of knitting and cleaning before we had a friend over for homemade pizza and a movie! Its the small things
CS/Q: My chart so far if you're wondering. I started OPKs on day 6 because I have a feeling I'm Oing very early or late. Using this month as an experiment.
@harrierwife Sounds like a lovely weekend! I love canning, especially apple butter. How long have your cycles been lately? An LP is not normally longer than 16 days.
@Swiftlet - hah yeah - word on the street is that HIO was recoined N&C (Netflix and Chill) by another member and fell out of use. I'm gonna bring it back!
And yeah, ended up making a batch of Peach jam, Peach/Plum/Ginger jam, and Apricot jam. I'll finish up the pickles this week. I stash jars and jars and jars of good stuff to give as gifts around the holidays with homemade bread or whatever.
@ska8471 that book is on my list of things to read when I have the time. What kind of OPKs are you using? I have the cheapies but my last cycle was 49 days long so I go through them way too quickly.
@whiteswanblackswan I also love weekends for that same reason. Glad you got some R&R with YH, don't feel guilty for enjoying the down time! We were running around all weekend but had an unexpected afternoon off today so N&C it is.
@marebear15 FX for your CH! Sorry that cold is still lingering, hope you feel better soon!
@nanner26 if that makes you an old lady, then I'm an old lady too.
@swiftlet sorry YH will be gone for so long. I'd lose my mind.
@asupernovablizzardstorm sorry your vacay is over already. Makes Mondays all that much harder to face too
@kels0091 welcome! I'm sorry to hear about your BF. Sounds like they caught it early and hopefully the surgery was a success! I don't have any personal experience with testicular cancer but from everything I've read it sounds like it is definitely possible to conceive even with only one testicle.
@swiftlet what's on your to-do list to keep you busy? We're here to try to take your mind off things too. Hope you can make the most of your reunion either way
I'm late to the party this weekend so I'll post my update in tomorrow's WTO. Wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone though!
