November Siggy Contest - Thanksgiving Fails!
Re: WTO Fri-Yay! 11/2
R/R: I feel pretty confident after meeting my
ob on Wednesday. I got some bloodwork done yesterday and now waiting to hear from the RE to schedule a follow up with her. The ob put in for a 1 hour blood glucose drink test that both myself and the lab tech were confused about. Hopefully I will get some clarification today.
The half bath in our rental is out of commission. The floor around the toilet will most likely need to be replaced, so it’ll be a while which is annoying. I feel like the previous renters did nothing to help with upkeep, so now we are finding everything that needs fixing.
Month/Cycle: 6/6
R/R: Nearing two years, ugh. And we were ntnp for a while too. And I realized that if I get pregnant this cycle...Tw
@kbrown2385 glucose seems odd, hopefully you will get an answer. And sorry about the rental!
@marebear15 my known anti-O cycles were unending. At 60 days for them I took provera. Not last cycle but the one before I suspect was an-O and it was normal length. But I think my surgery messed my cycle up.
@marebear15 ugh I hate that this is an-O for you. I hope the cycle ends quickly then if it is an-O
@kbrown2385 I hope you get your results back quickly
Month/Cycle: 7
R/R: All the emotions. Super terrible AF today. Couldn't sleep due to cramps. Flow is ridiculous, which is kind of a blessing because the last two cycles I barely had anything.
Insurance came thru, so RE appt is happening. The calls with insurance & the RE office broke me though, so I ended up crying at work yesterday and almost last night. I have found outlets tho for all of this I think.

@chichiphin - Hi friend! I'm so so sad to see you back here. Just remember we are here for you in case you need to vent or just get encouragement. My inbox is always open as well.
Your description of this period as opposed to the last two made me think of something I read on BC. Did your last two cycles have a lot of brown spotting at the end of them? Someone was talking about if you have a lot of brown spotting, that means your uterus isn't fully shedding its lining, so the following cycle, there's not a good place for a fertilized egg to implant. They discussed this weird vag steamer that helps loosen up the rest of the lining, which sounded like a lot of woo for me, but hey, maybe it's something to look into!
@chichiphin I'm so sorry about everything going on the past couples days with AF, appts, etc. It's a lot of emotions to carry all of that and you've been doing great being proactive with all the right things. I hope that you and DH can be gentle on yourselves this weekend.
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, PNVs, CM, HIO
R/R: Still feeling a bit feverish. I got a +OPK yesterday and tons of EWCM, so yay! But the crappy thing is we haven’t HIO’d yet because DH comes home today from his work trip. Ugh, this cycle might be a bust! We *might* be able to rally tonight, but ehhhh. Whatever.
CS/Q: Nah, we good.
@kbrown2385 I hope you’ll be able to get some answers soon! The 1hr glucose test does seem odd - is your OB trying to diagnose diabetes?
@holly321 I’m sorry that you’re feeling all the emotions today. Many, many hugs for you!
@marebear15 I’m glad you have seemingly already answered your own question. It’s great that you have so much data on hand!
@chichiphin All the hugs in the world for you today. I’m glad that you have found some outlets for all your emotions. Please know that we are all here for you, you are wonderful, kind, funny and we all ❤️ you! You have had a lot to process over the last week or so, so take time to just be.

@marebear15 dang, that's a long work day! Breakfast in bed tomorrow? haha.
@holly321 I'm so sorry, coming up on milestones is so hard. Take care of yourself
@chichiphin ugh, I'm sorry to see you back here and I second what everyone else said. I'm glad you are taking steps to move forward, but take care of yourself today! Glad you can work from home and relax. Drink all the wine!
@lillywonderland FX that you'll be able to HIO tonight! Sorry you still aren't feeling great. Hope you don't have big plans this weekend so you can just veg out and recover.
Month/Cycle: 12/13
R/R: none, I'm just kind of feeling blah and empty today. Feeling extra moody with the gloomy weather and coming up on the "official" 1 year anniversary of starting TTC. Rave - Friday, payday, and we don't have any plans this weekend. I'm excited to chill and for the alone time once H leaves for his work trip Sunday afternoon.

R/R: Rave: It's Friday! I'm going to see one of my best friends in a play tomorrow. He's an actor so I see all of his plays but it's always fun.
@marebear15 Long days are the worst - hopefully you guys get to see each other before bed!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
@holly321
@chichiphin So sorry about CD1! That's great the insurance came through but so sorry to hear all of the emotions you're dealing with!!
@lillywonderland Yay on the + and EWCM! Rally the forces tonight, girl!
@b_1029 Sorry to hear about how you're feeling. Enjoy your relaxing weekend!
@littleredm So fun about the play - enjoy it! Mad props for hosting people to expand your friend group - I'm sure everything will turn out great!
R/R: It's FRIDAY! So much to do at work and everything is broken so... lol. Our dog ripped our sheets we got for our wedding which is super annoying. I bought new Egyptian cotton sheets today and I secretly love getting new sheets so that's great!

Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@lillywonderland I have insulin resistance so I was thinking maybe that’s why she wants the glucose test. I didn’t do it when I got diagnosed, so idk.
@marebear15 we rent it from someone. We’ve found a few things the management company hadn’t seen or just didn’t fix from the last renters. I know it’s not my issue since it’s not our fault, it’s just inconvenient.
@littleredm thank you. I think you should do something easy like pizza too, that way you can focus on the new friends!
@brookert615 oh no your sheets! but glad you got some fancy new ones

@brookert615 What kind of sheets do you get? I hate buying new sheets because they always seem to pill up within a few washes - even if it’s the same brand as our other sheets! Also, buying sheets reminds me of Aziz Ansari’s standup bit about low thread count! 🤣 Not sure if you’ve seen it, but the basic premise is that the companies are lying about thread counts and you’re basically sleeping on sandpaper!! Omg, so hilarious!
@littleredm I think pizza and board games sounds great! If you want, make a dessert from scratch - it’s a bit easier than an entire dinner and you’ll still feel like you’ve done something homemade!
And to everyone else, thank you ❤️❤️

R/R: Crazy week at work glad it is over! I have a bachelorette party this weekend! I'm excited and need to get everything together for it. Though its on Sunday which is kind of odd and I will have to go to work Monday.. not too much wine for me..
