WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, CM, RLT, clomid
R/R: just annoyed I have to log on for work this morning. At least I can work from my parents’ house. I’m just sad because my mom didn’t take any time off work while we’re home so I’ll be working all day (and actually have to do stuff/ sit in meetings) and she’ll go to work around 2:30, so I won’t really get to spend any time with her. Rave- it was great seeing my family yesterday! And I found out where DH is taking me for my birthday this weekend so I’m very excited for that.
CS/Q: not much to see
@brookert615 to answer your question from the other day, I didn’t ask about the clomid messing with my monitor. I have so many questions to ask at my next follow up appt that I never thought of, haha
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, BBT, SMEP
R/R: we had a great Christmas but I did not want to come back to work today especially since all my family is off the rest of the week. My MIL got me Rothy's for xmas and its like walking on clouds, I'd never spend that much on shoes for myself so even though they're a weird green/camo print I'm totally digging them.
CS/Q: not much to see although I was do exhausted last night I actually got a solid nights sleep so it was interesting to see my temp this morning was pretty low.
@kimmer1412 I’m so tempted to get a pair of Rothys, but ugh $$! Are yours round or pointed toe?
@b_1029 Happy birthday! Where are you guys going?
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: opks, preseed, temping, pnvs (I need to be better about these).
R/R: I have this week off, and I’m planning on being extremely unproductive at least all day today. Catching up on DVR 👌🏼 I get a new desk delivered today, so excited to play with that.
CS/Q: Well see what FF does tomorrow. I’m curious if the app thinks I ovulated yesterday or the day before. I got a pos + yesterday morning and neg in the evening. I did have a higher temp yesterday morning by .01, but I accidentally got up and used the bathroom before I took that. Hopefully I spoilered correctly.

R/R: I gotta go to the PO today to mail the Christmas presents I wasn't organized enough to deal with beforehand. Lucky to be off for another 2 days though!

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, CM, HIO, BBT, SMEPish
R/R: We had a GREAT time on our mini Christmas getaway. The darn gov’t shutdown didn’t dampen our National Park experience, thank goodness!! I want to try and plan another NP experience for this summer but want to do something farther away. I’m thinking either Grand Teton or Glacier. It’s prolly not going to happen but I still want to research it and dream. Lol. Pic in spoiler from our trip!
CS/Q: I got a +OPK last night so I guess I’m waiting for CH’s to move to TWW, lol. Feels weird to say.
SITB - ETA words
@Kimmer123 I had no clue what Rothy’s were so I had to google it. They have some cute styles!
@bluejeanbabi05 Welcome! I hope your stay here is short & sweet! I *think* FF needs 3 days of high temps to give you CH’s.
@sevenn I hope you have a pleasant experience at the PO!!

@lillywonderland ooo where’d you guys go (so sorry if you’ve said that before and I just missed it)? Is that where's that picture is from? It looks awesome! DH and I went to Glacier in May and it was so beautiful, I highly recommend! Not sure how far that is from wherever you are you in CA but it's definitely worth the trip. I'm glad you all had a great time! My birthday is the 29th, and yep you're right, big 3-0! I missed you too!!!
ETA
@inthewoods23 ahhhh Im excited for you! I hope this IUI is successful!
@kimmer1412 glad you had a nice christmas! Jealous of your Rothy’s!
@bluejeanbabi05 welcome! Enjoy
your week off! I love getting new furniture.
@sevenn I think you were smart in waiting to send lol. I’m sure the post office won’t be as stressful today.
@lillywonderland I’m glad you enjoyed your trip! Which park did you go to? That’s pic is gorgeous and wherever it is, you should go haha.
Month/Cycle: 25/benched
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: all the testing
R/R: My kitchen island is finished and I’m obsessed! It made a huge difference yesterday while cooking our Christmas dinner. I love it so much! I hope everyone who celebrates was able to have a nice relaxing Christmas. I kept off social media so I didn’t have to see all the announcements and it made for a better day.
CS/Q: not much to see. I can already tell the switch to temping vaginally will make a difference though. There aren’t huge jumps in temps every day.
@lillywonderland glad you had a great time! Beautiful picture!
@sevenn good luck at the PO. You are brave, I am hesitant to venture outside my house today.
@kimmer1412 what a great gift! I don't have a pair of Rothys myself, but I am all for investing in good shoes (I have a few pairs of Tieks and they have been a lifesaver since I am on my feet all day).
@b_1029 sorry you have to do some work today.
@bluejeanbabi05 welcome! Enjoy the quality time with your DVR! What's on there?
@kbrown2385 that is one good lookin' island!

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, HIO, SMEP, OPKs, temping, and red raspberry leaf tea. Anything else I should try?
R/R: My mom got me a Tieks gift card for Christmas, so I am deciding which color to get. So many choices! Very grateful to have the next week off, DH and I need time to ourselves. I have cocoa and library books to get lost in for a while.
CS/Q: Nope. I just started temping again today so there is only one sad little blue dot.
Edit to add a tag.
@lillywonderland: gorgeous picture!!
@b1029: birthday trip sounds super fun!
@kimmer1412: uh....I would LOVE some Rothy's....just haven't bit the bullet yet!
Month/Cycle: cycle 6
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: inositol, BBT, OPK, PNV
R/R: Uh, my temps are crazytown, and I'm even trying vaginal temping! I wondering if I'm either not sleeping well (totally possible)? They've been all over the place. Rave: Christmas was wonderful. Really fun.
CS/Q: nothing right now...I'm hoping my temps will start to show some semblence of normal in next few days and I'll have something to share. Right now, it's not even worth it.
@kimmer1412 Glad you had a great Christmas! Ohhhh Rothy's look so cozy - enjoy them!!!
@bluejeanbabi05 Enjoy your relaxing day and your new desk!
@sevenn Good luck at the post office today - hopefully it isn't too busy!!!
@lillywonderland So happy you had fun out your getaway! That pic looks amazing!!!! Yay on the + OPKS! Hopefully I'll see you soon in the TWW!
@inthewoods23 Hahah I get losing track of the days! Hope you get to enjoy a relaxing day!
@kbrown2385 The island looks wonderful! Glad you had a good day yesterday!
@emeraldduchess Oh my goodness, Tieks are so cute!!! Hope you can enjoy your relaxing week off!

CS/Q: Nothing. I've been so bad at temping for the last week! Thinking I might take a break from the temping this month to not stress as much.

@kimmer1412 @emeraldduchess You both had me googling Rothy's and Tieks--they look super comfortable and cute, but oh.my.gawd the prices! I'm wondering which ones have more padding...
@bluejeanbabi05 Welcome! I'm impressed with both your quick ability to "spoil" and that chart. :-)
@sevenn I actually laughed when I saw your comment about the post office. My Christmas cards are also "New Year's cards" for the same reason. PO in my future today...
@lillywonderland That picture is gorgeous! Glad you had a nice getaway by yourselves.
@inthewoods23 Crossing fingers for your IUI tomorrow! Just said a little prayer for you. Not weird.
@kbrown2385 That looks amazing! Lucky you got to enjoy it for holiday cooking!
@lcking82 @brookert615 Glad you both had lovely Christmas holidays.
@zuuls_mom @MrsAmandaTollison Welcome. I'm also new to this daily posting, looking forward to getting to know everyone a bit better. @MrsAmandaTollison Sorry for CD1. Hoping this next cycle is more fruitful for all us.

Month/Cycle: 7/4
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: Prenatals, Folate, DHA/Fish Oil, Baby Aspirin, Temping, FertilityFriend app, Fertility supplements: Vitamin D3, CoQ10, NAC, Vitex, Maca, just added DHEA in case we end up doing IVF in a few months. Trying to follow the "It Starts with the Egg" diet but it's HARD.
R/R: Rant-Family did their usual annoying nuttiness at Christmas Eve & Christmas Dinner. Rave-DH paid attention & actually got me something I wanted, hooray! A new Fitbit to motivate me to get my butt moving! Lord knows I've got at least 10 pounds that need to go...
CS/Q: Nothing yet. My temps are oddly stable for the very first time... All the supplements?
ETA: More fertility supplements, didn't realize I was taking so many.
@kbrown2385 That was a pic I took in Zion. It’s amazing there!! Your Island looks so great! Is YH a woodworker? (Is that the right word? Lol). It looks so professional!!
@emeraldduchess I don’t think I’ve expressed how truly sorry I am for you and YH. I didn’t have the words, and I still don’t. I don’t think anything I can say can take away any of the pain but I just want you to know that I am here for you and I think you are so strong and kind. Sending you love, strength and hope for the days ahead.
@icking82 I meant to ask you a while ago, but what kind of doctor are you? I totally get if it’s too personal to share but I was just curious!!
@brookert615 YELLO LADY! You sound so chipper. I love your excessive use of explanation points this morning/afternoon/whatever time it is. What was the best thing YH did/get for you?!? I’m super curious!!
@zuuls_mom Hello and welcome to the dailies! You prolly don’t know me, but I’ve seen you around and I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through. ❤️
@MrsAmandaTollison Hello and welcome! We usually type our info in the template provided in the very first post so we can see everyone’s info quickly and easily. Also, if that’s your real name I suggest changing your bump screen name for privacy purposes.
@keikilove That's awesome YH was listening! FitBits are great

@lillywonderland your trip sounds amazing and relaxing! Glad you enjoyed yourself.
@inthewoods23 FX for tomorrow!

going to the national parks in the off season. I dont like dealing with a lot of people, so it would be perfect for me. DH is definitely not a woodworker, but he will be proud to hear it looks that good! It’s his first project and he’s now looking for more ideas for around the house. He had fun making it.

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, Ovia app
R/R: I’m excited to get to know everyone. I hope all those that celebrated had a great holiday! I had dinner with a couple of girlfriends tonight. It was nice to get out of the house.
CS/Q: none
@lillywonderland Thanks. I will try to post in a more formal format in the future. Just getting use to everything. 😄
@emeraldduchess the best thing on my dvr was madam secretary, but sadly I only had one of those to catch up on 😭
@keikilove it took me way too long to figure out the spoilering process! Lol thanks to lots of searching of TB past threads so I didn’t have to bother anyone here 🙈 if you don’t mind me asking, how do you take the maca? A friend gave me some powder, but it’s so gross. I don’t drink smoothies, so I don’t know how to make it palatable.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Metformin and EOD during fertile time.
R/R: Ready to start playing “Let’s get it on..” by Marvin Gaye. LOL
CS/Q: Nothing to see here...yet.
@midlifemidwife2019 LOL at Marvin Gaye, I'm gonna tell my husband to play that haha. What is EOD? Also, I forgot to answer your response on the other thread, but the midwives I know are from Fairfield. Do you know of Robin Lim who runs the Bumi Sehat birthing centers in Indonesia and the Philippines? She was the CNN Hero of the Year 2011, and started out in Iowa. She's a family friend, my mom was a midwife.
