R/R: not enough coffee in the world for me today.
CS/Q: Why tf not. My temps are already higher than last month, prob due to my new thermometer. I reeeeally like it. It's basically a tamagotchi though in size and shape lol

@chichiphin – I’m really dragging without coffee right now. I read that it can effect fertility by 50% so I’m trying so hard not to cave in. Who knows if that’s even true, but right now I need it!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, OPK
R/R: I FINALLY GOT THE NEW THERMOMETER!!! YAYYY!!! Haha! I temped using both, the new and old thermometer, this morning. New one read 97.31 and old one read 98.3!!! So, unfortunately I think my temping is done for this cycle (what’s the point, now?) but, I’ll be ready for the next cycle. I’m also interested in what these OPK’s have to tell me over the next few days with the early positives this cycle. I’m hoping to get a few positives in a row so I can feel better about this cycle.
DH grandma is officially in hospice care now. I thought it was going to be painful to see, but she is SO much happier there. She seems to be more at ease and actually a lot better in this environment. It’s been exhausting with all the running back and forth, but we want to soak up every moment we can with her.
CS/Q: n/a
****TW*******
Month/Cycle: 1
R/R: I finally turned my OPK test!!! My LH level was 7.5 so I am thinking that might be good since I've been getting negatives. Hopefully I'm still within the window!!!
CS/Q: It's a mess right now because I don't have enough data. Even though I got a high reading on my OPK last night, my temp dropped this morning so I don't know if I missed my O... or if it's coming? Depending on the OPK later today I might just go to TWW.

@nightdreamr13 Awesome news about your thermometer! Sorry about DH grandmother - glad she is happy there and you're able to spend that special time with her.
@flgirl20134 GL with transitioning off of BC!

@flgirl20134-My dr told me your first month off BC is your most fertile. Take advantage!!!
ETA: Forgot to tag!

R/R: Well the obvious with CD1 but I knew it was coming. Almost glad for AF to arrive in full force so I don’t have to wonder whether I actually O’d or not. PCOS is a b*tch but I really hope my cycles are regulating, even if they’re a bit longer than average. I also got 40% off FF VIP for a year so I splurged on that. Maybe it’ll jinx me into getting a BFP this cycle... in that case, money well spent! 😂
CS/Q: Nothing to see yet, temp dropped 0.5 today so I’m just happy to see my body doing what it’s supposed to (despite not getting KU).
@nightdreamr13 I’m also on the struggle train with no coffee - I switched to tea when we started TTC but have been trying to limit to just one cup every few days if I can. I’m REALLY going to miss it when it gets cold out... love my hot coffee on cold mornings!
@brookert615 Some ladies get a dip in temp the day before O, so that could be a good sign!
@flgirl20134 Welcome! Good luck transitioning off BC. CD 5 is obviously early for O but it’s likely later in your “cycle”. Please update your post with TW or a spoiler.

Month/Cycle: 3/3 (still....)
R/R: Work is taking its toll on me right now. Folks that complain that I don't give them enough responsibility, who then just don't do the work when I do.
CS/Q: None. Just wish I would just move on to cycle day 1 already. An-O sucks.
@chichiphin – Samesies on the coffee situation today.
@nightdreamr13 – I’m really sorry about YH’s grandma being in hospice but I’m glad that she seems to be much happier there.
@brookert615 – Yay for positive OPK! Try not to stress too much about the data.
@dogmomma271 – I’m sorry about CD1.
@Icking82 – An-O really really sucks. I’m so sorry.
R/R: I haven't gotten a positive OPK yet and it's driving me bonkers since I usually get one by now or CD17 and it's not even CLOSE to positive. Also it's randomly super hot today and I didn't get the memo and am in a warm fall outfit. Blech.
R/R: my bff and I work together. We started around the same time, but I have moved up a lot higher in the company than her. She really has a horrible work ethic and I am worried she is about to get fired.
CS/Q: not much to see
@chichiphin I am on my 3rd cup now with little improvement, I think that means it is time to switch to wine.
@brookert615 I used to use an app that told me the level on the opks, and I forgot that was a thing, so thanks for the reminder. I have a slow rising surge sometimes and I liked watching the progression that way.
@lcking82 sorry for an an-o cycle, they really really suck.

@literatureandink I'm sorry your so frustrated. That happened to me last cycle too, I O'ed a few days later than i was expecting and it threw me off.
@lcking82 an-O really does suck. Hope your body gets its act together soon.
@dogmomma271 I am so sorry to see you back here. Be kind to yourself today. 💛
Let me know how you like the VIP membership!
@brookert615 I had no idea that an app like that existed! Gotta check that out.
@flgirl20134 welcome!
@nightdreamr13 glad you like your new thermometer!
@chichiphin I lol'ed at the tamagotchi comment. I wanted one of those growing up, but I didn't want to spend that much. I got a gigapet instead. Such a let-down.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
R/R: The humidity is messing with the doors and locks in my house and it takes forever to open the front door. Bleck. On the bright side, I am determined to make pumpkin bread tonight. I don't care that it's 83 degrees!
CS/Q: Nope. Hopefully getting a bbt thermometer on the way home tonight, though so I can start temping.
R/R: Rant - Lupus. That is all.
CS/Q: Could you check your prenatal (if you have time!) and see if it has beta carotene in it? If it does NOT could you let me know the brand? I am *horribly* allergic, and can't find one that doesn't. I've been looking for two years.
TW - child mentioned
@holly321 People with a poor work ethic are so frustrating. Especially when it's someone you care about.
@literatureandink I never have any idea what my cycles are doing, so I feel your frustration!
@lcking82 I hope your body finds some clarity soon!
@dogmomma271 Sorry about the cycle day 1 - booo
@brookert615 That app sounds both fascinating and like maybe it crosses some mental line in my brain, lol.
@flgirl20134 welcome!
@nightdreamr13 Hope your dh's grandma is able to find peace in her remaining time. It sounds like she is where she needs to be.
@chichiphin Work has been insane for me to. Honestly has me questioning the whole TTC thing, but from a health POV from what the doctors are saying, it's going to be less and less possible.
@emeraldduchess, the humidity and doors is going to be the death of me! I had hand surgery a few weeks ago, then just cut my other hand really bad, and I literally can’t open my own front door! I have to use my entire body to shut it. I hope you enjoy your pumpkin bread!
