Re: WTO Monday 8/13
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: sex, pnv, I keep forgetting to use opks....
R/R: I am so not in the mood for work today. I really struggled getting out of bed.
CS/Q: none
Month/cycle: 4/3
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, sex, started OPKs this month at cd12
R/R: I’m off today which is nice but have to go in for a staff meeting and will probably get wrangled into lunch with a coworker while I’m there which isn’t the worst thing ever just...not what I wanted to do with my day off, ya know? I feel bad for saying that though
CS/Q: nope
@swiftlet I hope you don't live too far from work since you have to go in!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: all the things. also practicing SMEP this month again.
R/R: It is Monday, it is pouring rain, the train was late. Did I mention it's Monday? We did have friends over for bbq yesterday though, so that took my mind off of the past few days.
CS/Q: Update/**TW**
confirmed CP via blood test. doc said we are cleared for this month for trying. so on one hand, super emotion about the "what if's" and the loss, but on the other hand, I am hopeful for the next few months. just got to keep the LP going longer than 9 days

Month/cycle: 2/2
CD: I forgot my phone at home so I can't check
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, tracking my cycle, trying out every second day this cycle based on some advice I got from some wonderful ladies.... was going to start tracking my BBT but... I didn't get around to getting the thermometer.
R/R: I have been so incredibly busy with work, and with general life/commitments, my DH and I have been on the road and in planes traveling for family events and weddings, I feel like I haven't sat down in a month. I feel down about this month, I was not as on top of TTC this month as I was the month before, because I keep getting caught up in other things.
CD: 13 (I have to keep checking dispite being the same as date since CD 1 was on the 1st....)
WAYDTGKU: BBT/charting, opk, coq10, prenatals,green tea, hio eod, softcups
R/R: VACATION!! We dont leave until tomorrow after lunch so today is packing and cleaning. Listing the house is getting real. Houses better fit for our needs are popping up daily. We saw a gorgeaoys one yesterday but price was a bit on the high side. DH found another online that has good potential, just a bit further then I wanted and needs some updates. But for 50k less (and an in-ground pool.....) I could be swayed.
CS/Q: It's not pretty but here it is......
@holly321 I think setting an alarm is a good idea. Maybe even a few an hour apart for a few hours in case you dont have to pee right at that time.
@swiftlet lunch could be fun but if you dont want to go, dont. Get a pedicure instead!
@prpl11butterfly woohoo for (almost) vacation! I hope you guys find a fantastic house!
@Swiftlet I hate having to go in for one thing... it sort of just ruins the day. I hope your day turns out great!
@holly321 yay for being unbenched!
@riff323 thank you! I'm staying positive about this month.

@prpl11butterfly I feel you on the rocky chart. Mine is all over the place, too!
@chichiphin It's likely little consolation but at least you have an answer.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 25
WAYDTGKU: technically TTA/benched until 8/20 - PNV, CoQ10, BBT, CM
R/R: I have a horrible cold that I keep thinking is getting better and then I wake up the next day and it's worse.
CS/Q: For those taking CoQ10, did you get pretty bloated when you took it and did that go away eventually. I've been taking it for almost a week and it's a bit better but still not great.
No ovulation in sight on my chart. Not sure if this is going to be an an-o cycle or a really late ovulation cycle. Either would make sense with my circumstances, though. I've been vaginally temping since day 14 and it's pretty rocky the past few days: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/684beb I wake up between 5:15 and 6:30 to temp and it's kind of out of my control so hard to be consistent. Should I just set an alarm to temp at 5:30 so it's more consistent?
@Swiftlet can you just say you already have family plans.
@chichiphin so sorry. Glad you had fun yesterday.
@prpl11butterfly Yay for vacation and having a lot of options for homes.
@kvh22 sorry about the long cycle. No advice on the med.
Month/Cycle: 8/9
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: IUI w/ Clomid, trigger, and progesterone cream
R/R: Rant: CD1 and Monday...woo... Rave: I emailed my RE's nurse about getting some of these appointments set up and the Rx for Clomid sent to WIN so we can get things rolling.
CS/Q:nothing to see.
@Knottie1453409337 Hi there! I see you're new to the board, I would suggest making an intro post and then changing your username so that (1) It's easier to tag you and (2) We can recognize you a little better. To change your name, go to The Knot and log in there, then come back here, log out and back in and your name should be changed!
@prpl11butterfly Have fun on vacation!! Where are you going?
@kvh22 Yes, I would suggest setting an alarm and temping at the same time every day. I think generally within about 15 minutes or so is ok but a window of an hour or more is too much and will make your temps pretty rocky and possibly hard for FF to decipher O
@thegirlwhowaited_ I'm sorry for CD1 friend but happy that you're moving forward with treatment. Do you know what days you'll be taking the clomid? Also, is the progesterone cream something that your clinic does for everyone? From what I remember, all your tests came back normal.

@Swiftlet I don't blame you. I wouldn't want to go in or mingle with people I work with on my days off. Don't get me wrong I like the people I work with, but not my ideal day off either.
@chichiphin *TW* I'm sorry about your CP. End TW. I'm glad you are cleared to move forward and have had some distractions. Also, I'm with you on the rainy Monday.
@prpl11butterfly Yay for vacation and looking at houses! It's good you have a lot of options popping up, and I wouldn't mind an in-ground pool!
@kvh22 I hope you start feeling better soon and get over the cold. I know sometimes being sick and either make detecting ovulation hard or can delay it all together depending on the stress on your body. For someone with long cycles getting sick when you may ovulate is no fun. I would set an alarm for temping so that it is consistent.
@asupernovablizzardstorm I sometimes want to try the undies, but I'm also still skeptical even with all their convincing advertisements.

@Swiftlet I always hated going in on my days off.
@chichiphin I’m so very sorry
@prpl11butterfly YAY VACATION, hoping it’s Good Luck for this cycle!!! House hunting is so stressful, Good Luck there too.
@kvh22 as much as I hate if I set an alarm to temp, it’s the only way they are consistent for me. I feel I was more bloated when I first stared the COQ10 but not when I switched to fish oil
@asupernovablizzardstorm I have not tried but I’m switching to Luna cup this month if I need it.
@thegirlwhowaited_ sorry about CD1
Month/Cycle: 3/3(15 overall, 5 benched)

@swiftlet I agree, go for the meeting then leave and enjoy your day off!
@prpl11butterfly Haha I'm the same way with the CD and calendar day. How can I not remember it?..
@chichiphin I'm so sorry.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: PNV, VitD, HIO EOD, OPKs, BBT/CM, generally trying to be healthier (decreasing carbs/alcohol, and increasing water and exercise).
R/R: Keeping my husband in the loop more with BBT and OPKs which is making me less stressed.
CS/Q: Temperature up a bit today, but I was having a weird dream when I woke up to temp. OPKs high today. Hoping I'll end up ovulating before the weekend trip. However, last month the OPKs was way off, so also keeping up the BD until the temperature shift.
@kvh22 sorry you're not feeling well. Summer colds are the worst.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, FF, OPKs, sex EOD. I was reading about raspberry leaf tea, so I will try that. Even if it doesn't help, it's still tea (which I drink every day anyway), so it couldn't hurt.
R/R: I'm getting anxious about going back to work in September. I'm going to have twice as many students as I did last year, so I am nervous about balancing all the lesson planning and grading. There's also going to be a lot of changes at my school (new administration, new coworkers, etc.), so the unknown is tough. I'm going to spend some time on Pinterest this afternoon looking for some classroom decorating/organization ideas to psych myself up. I should get professional development points for that!
CS/Q: Nothing to see since I am not temping.
@Swiftlet hoping you get some time back for yourself.
@chichiphin what bbq did you make? Sorry for the bad start to the week.
@prpl11butterfly glad you're finding some good choices popping up on the market. Have fun on your vacation!
@jessg2223 i just started talking with my husband about OPKs. He didn't really understand them. It was nice to share and feel more connected in the TTC experience.

@vl_16 good luck with the bloodwork!
@asupernovablizzardstorm I have been using the Divacup for a few years. I love that it can be left in for up to 12 hours with better capacity over tampons (esp in the larger size) with fewer leaks. Not producing waste is really nice too. It is hard to get a good seal at first until you get used to them, but if you go that route I can give you some tips over DM.
@prpl11butterfly have a great vacation!
@kvh22 I hope you feel better soon!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: Supplements, prenatals, Kindara chart, CM, acupuncture
R/R: This dang UTI.. I took the U.T. Vibrance all day yesterday and my symptoms resolved but it made me suuuper gassy/bloated. I gave it a rest at bedtime and woke up with symptoms again. My NP gave me another recommendation but the stores I went to no longer carry the brand, so I got some other stuff and am waiting to hear back. I'm tempted to just go get antibiotics but she warned me against destroying any progress we've made on my gut flora. Blarg.
CS/Q: Nothing
@Swiftlet sorry you have to work even though you're off!
@chichiphin I'm very sorry but glad you're continuing to move forward
@prpl11butterfly enjoy your vacation!
@kvh22 sorry you're not feeling well! I hope you feel better soon
@asupernovablizzardstorm hope you can get some rest!
@thegirlwhowaited_ sorry for CD1 but I'm glad you're getting things moving
@kindbytealikat sorry you're having a rough Monday
@jessg2223 glad you're bringing your H into it and feeling less stressed
@emeraldduchess sorry the new year is bringing so many changes. I hope Pinteresting helps!
@vl_16 hope everything is good with the blood work and that you get something tasty to eat
@mamanbebe I hope the stuff you got will do the trick and you won't have to go on antibiotics!

@chichiphin I’m so sorry
