R/R: It's Monday, I don't really feel like being at work; at least my boss is off today, I guess. I had a pretty great weekend and even though I didn't get to see any of the meteor shower this weekend, DH and I did get to see a decent light show from a storm in Canada over the lake.

@lulu1180 Sorry you are feeling lacklusssterrr about work, I find Monday does that - I am feeling the same way over here. Treat yourself to something later for surviving Monday
Testing: WFAF but I'm finding that I'm low on patience so maybe on day 10 or 12?
R/R: H and I talked a lot last night about kids. He's becoming less and less passive as things go on - before he was happy to let me time everything and initiate the timed sex. Now, he's asking when FW is for this month, or next month, etc. He also refers to our future child(ren) as "she" or "her" because he's a military pilot (Israel did some studies that showed that their fighter pilots had far more girls than boys) and then divulged that he would love to have a daughter in particular, but would take what he could.
Counting this as a win.
CS/Q: No. Just struggling with this waiting game. Chart below.
Testing: I tested this morning at 13 DPO and it was a BFN. My temp is still well above my coverline but I have no history re: temps and AF showing up since this is my 1st cycle using FF. The app I've been using for a few years before FF is saying AF is expected tomorrow. No more testing unless AF is 3/4 days late.
R/R: I was mad at my H yesterday. We went on our honeymoon a couple months ago and he wanted to wait to TTC in case I would be pregnant during the HM. I like to remind him that we've been trying for 4 cycles already and I am still not PG so there was no need to wait. Plus he and I are old for TTC (36) so who knows what this journey has in store for us.
CS/Q:
TTC#1 10/2018: MFI (2 SA under 9 million/ml) 11/2018: HSG shows right Fallopian tube slightly damaged 1/2019: Husband diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele 4/05/2019: varicocele repair surgery 6/13/2019: BFP!!! EDD: 2/22/2020 Baby girl born 2/27/2020 7/18/2019: Total Motile Count at 3 months post surgery = 51 millions!! (number must be >20 millions to conceive naturally).
@klmcguire - Yeah, I'm pretty stoked on my temps this cycle! The 3 previous cycles looked like the Rocky Mountains. I only have the free trail of the VIP version of FF right now, so I'm not sure if it'll show the triphasic pattern. It did give me a prompt to keep an eye out for it, but think it mentioned that that feature was only available for the paid VIP version? Not 100% on this.
FX this week flies for you - and for everyone!
@rikiteacup - Girl. I totally hear your R/R. My H wanted to wait to TTC, too, because of a ski trip in December. He wants me to ski with him, and while I want to ski, too, I'd gladly sit on the sidelines for one year if it means we're expecting. I think we all (but men especially) think that its just a matter of having unprotected sex and BOOM, Baby On Board.

So many FX for you!
Exactly!! I think it's eye-opening for him. Doesn't work quite like that. He does (now) know that chances of conceiving are less than 30% each cycle with EVERYTHING done perfectly.
