harrierwife · July 2018

I'm starting this one today because I gotta go to work, and was sitting down with my chart anyway.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: CM/CP/BBT/OPKs/N&C, ALL THE SUPPLEMENTS (multi, D3, collagen, biotin, folic acid, probiotic, turmeric, Evening Primrose Oil)

R/R: Didn't sleep all that great last night. Usually I sleep like a rock, but I woke up at 11 PM and 3:30 AM. The dog was just as restless as I was. DH was out like a light.

Despite this, my temp this AM was similar to the last few days. Chart below if you're curious. Hoping this might be my month.

@harrierwife I find that even on restless nights, so long as I stay in bed and snuggled in my blankets, my temps is pretty well in line. Hope you sleep like a rock tonight.

Putting myself here now.

Month/Cycle: about to be 13/10

CD: let's call it .5 for now. Could officially be 1 by end of day.

WAYDTGKU: nothing that seems to be helping....

R/R: No real rant besides the obvious. Nothing really rave worthy either.

CS/Q: nope

riff323 · July 2018

@harrierwife I am the most restless sleeper but I've always had luck with getting consistent temps. Glad you still had some consistency!

LJMoon6 · July 2018

I'll come out and play today.

Month/Cycle: 17/16

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: Clomid this cycle

R/R: I'm playing hooky from work today. My cramps were really bad last night and this morning and I knew I would be a bundle of emotions. So I said F it and stayed home. Surprisingly tho I'm feeling rather emotionless. I started spotting over the weekend so I knew AF was coming. I had a very similar day yesterday to what @prpl11butterfly described. Not sure if I should call this CD1 or 2. I normally wouldn't care but since I'm taking clomid I think I'll message the doc about it.
I finally got my preconception genetic screening test results. Out of over 200 diseases I'm only a carrier for 2. One was a common hearing loss but the other was something more significant (Zellweger syndrome). So now MH has to go get tested too. If he's also a carrier then we have a 25% chance of having a child with this disease. The chances of him being a carrier is only 0.7% so I'm not too worried... but of course I'm freaking out inside.

CS/Q: nope

LJMoon6 · July 2018

@harrierwife Your chart looks beautiful. FX this is your cycle! Your chart has encouraged me to start temping again.
@prpl11butterfly I'm so sorry to see you over here too. Getting past that year mark was definitely the hardest for me too. Everything triggered me. Do something special for yourself today. *Hugs lady*

kiki047 · July 2018

@harrierwife so that's what normal temps are supposed to look like? lol looking good so far, FX this is your month! Do you take turmeric capsules or make a tea/drink with it? I've known people to do both.
@prpl11butterfly hugs for you today, friend. Sorry for CD1, and for it to be this week too.
@LJMoon6 that's good news about your genetic screening. Better to know now. That kind of stuff terrifies me, but my fear of the unknown is so much worse. Hopefully YH can get his testing done sooner than later so you aren't stressing yourself out for too much longer.

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: Daily pep talks for my ovaries in hopes they might relinquish an egg this month *sigh* (and all the other things too)

R/R: Rant: Just feeling so frustrated and defeated about what is looking like another an-O cycle. Looking forward to my appt on Thursday, hoping the doc can give me some answers.
Rave: signed all the paperwork to sell my condo today. Deal closes on Thursday. Lots to look forward to this week!

CS/Q: Too lazy to screencap today, here's the link to my FF page instead. Was hoping that vaginal temping would show more consistent temps but this is probably more of an indication of undiagnosed PCOS based on what little testing I've done and the other symptoms.

Swiftlet · July 2018

@harrierwife Hope you sleep better tonight. FX this is your (and all of ours!) month.

@prpl11butterfly and @LJMoon6 Sorry to see you ladies over here

@kiki047 Ugh, I can only imagine the frustration! Hope the doctor has something for you. Hope everything goes smoothly on the condo - very exciting!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Netflix & Chill (right @harrierwife

) when hubs gets home from OOT, starting OPKs on CD12 since my cycles are so dang irregular.

R/R: I have a looong day today. Work then giving a talk at a local place until late, then the drive home. Was supposed to be off tomorrow AM (could sleep in) but coworker has asked that I potentially come in for her since her kid is sick. Sigh. I feel tired already!

CS/Q: None yet.

harrierwife · July 2018

@ljmoon6 - I actually almost bought a new BBT because I thought it was broken.

Everyone needs a mental health day. Hopefully you can do something super indulgent like read a book with your feet propped up, take a hot bath, or binge watch stupid TV? FX that YH isn't a carrier.

@kiki047 - I take turmeric capsules (because well, what's one more?), but I also try to incorporate it into my food. I like sprinkling it into my scrambled eggs (my usual breakfast) when I remember.

FX you get some clarity on Thursday. And congrats on selling the condo! That's gotta feel great!

@Swiftlet - Yes, FX for everyone.......

TJtheGoat · July 2018

Hey all! I’ve been hiding out and feeling sorry for myself the last couple days, but I’m ready to venture out again.

Month/Cycle: 5/5 (month 6 starts tomorrow

)

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: WFAF to leave, PNV/OPK/BBT, blah blah blah

R/R: My condo hasn’t sold (HOA fees are too high), work sucks lately, and we are broke from all the renovations. Buuuut, I will be on vacation for two weeks starting Friday!!! and I’m really hoping that vacation during FW will get it done this cycle. At the very least, it will be nice to spend time with BF and relax.

CS/Q: no chart yet.

TJtheGoat · July 2018

@harrierwife those temps sure do look pretty! FX this is the one for you.

@LJMoon6 ugh CD1 sucks! I’m glad you were able to take the day for yourself.

@kiki047 Yay for selling your condo! I’m so happy it went quickly. Now come on ovaries!

@prpl11butterfly more muffins may be needed. I really hoped AF wouldn’t show for you.

@Swiftlet I do not like to give up my day off. You are a nice co-worker.

kiki047 · August 2018

@swiftlet you are a very nice coworker. Hope you survived your long day!
@harrierwife srsly tho, I sometimes take my pills with lunch and people stare at me when I dump like 7-9 pills on the counter. Good idea adding to eggs - I’m doing some meal prep tonight for the rest of the week, going to try that!
@TJtheGoat *hugs* sorry to see you back here. Yay for your upcoming time off though. C’monnn FW! Any plans for your vacation weeks?

holly321 · August 2018

Month/Cycle: 18/hopefully 1st unbenched cycle

CD: 2 I think, will discuss in questions.

WAYDTGKU: I go to the doctor tomorrow, and may possibly be cleared to conceive, if so, will get my IUD out ASAP, I am still trying to decide if I plan to temp, but I know I will because I am neurotic. Otherwise, just sex and opks.

R/R: I am pretty sure I have food poisoning from crabs we had last night, I have been miserable. But, I literally had nothing to do at work all day, so I stuck it out and got paid to scan invoices in all day, with a little bit of time spebt teaching someone else to do any least favorite aspect of my job( returns)

CS/Q: I got an iud when I was benched again, so as not to be tempted to cheat and ttc, lol . I have noticed that I spot a few days before AF with it (which I never have done before ). What do you consider CD1?

@harrierwife, I am like @prpl11butterfly, my temps are pretty accurate even with crappy sleep, as long as I am not getting up and around.

@LJMoon6, I hope your Dh's genetic screening comes back well, I can imagine how stressful that is, especially since I am too chicken to go for genetic testing.
@TJtheGoat, I hope you enjoy your vacation, anything fun planned?

suzycupcake · August 2018

@kiki047 Rooting for you at your appointment on Tuesday! My inbox is open to you if you need it. I hope you will get the answers that you need and that there will be an easy plan so you can move forward and ovulate regularly. Hugs to you dear

lapenfold23 · August 2018

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: HIO, PNV, CM, BBT FF

R/R: I’m in my last 10 days of grad school with 3 Jobs after 4 years of thi and I’m trying to keep my stress and caffeine down, but I’m only human.

lulu1180 · August 2018

@holly321 CD1 starts when you get full flow, which is usually described as heavy enough to fill a pad or tampon

kvh22 · August 2018

@LJMoon6 sorry for resurrecting but I was super busy and didn't make it over here on Tuesday. I am a carrier for cystic fibrosis and for the 2 weeks it took for DH to get to the lab during hours they were open, have the results processed, etc., I was (probably) irrationally freaking out. He tested negative for CF (1 in 18 chance, so higher than your odds). My sister actually just found out today that she's a carrier as well but no baby plans for her anytime soon. It's just great to know.
