kimmer1412 · January 2019

I go here now

Month/Cycle:3/3

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, FF, BBT, SMEP

R/R: so at least AF didnt torture me and came a day early. Ready to start a new cycle. Not much going on just work and school.

CS/Q: nothing to see here

b_1029 · January 2019

@kimmer1412 sorry for CD 1

Month/Cycle: 15/16

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, CM, EPO, SMEP

R/R: apparently I have to see my doctor before getting another round of clomid, which no one at the office ever told me. So none for me this month, they couldn’t get me in until Monday which would be too late to start anyway. Frustrating. I had the biggest breakdown last night but it was good because I finally told DH how I’ve been feeling (long story short, unsupported / like he doesn’t really care about having a baby) so hopefully we can have more honest conversations about it moving forward
Rave- at least this means I’ll hopefully have actual EWCM this time, which makes me more hopeful. Also, this is my last day of work before California tomorrow!

CS/Q: nope!

edited because I decided not to really temp this cycle. I’m visiting my cousin this weekend and don’t really want to wake up at 2:30 California time to poke myself with a thermometer. Maybe it’ll be good for the stress because I just obsess over my chart in the TWW.

creamcheeseplease · January 2019

@kimmer1412 I'm sorry for CD1.

@b_1029 Im sorry for the mixup at the doctors office! It seems crazy they can't squeeze you in. It sounds like not temping this month would be a nice change while you are away. I'm glad you were able to talk to YH and I hope it results in positive changes for you and your relationship.

Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: pre-natals, opks, tracking CM

R/R: I ate chocolate for breakfast. This can be both my rant and my rave ;-) Another rant is that I am dealing with a problem with an internal site that I administer, and I think I know how to update it, but I can't get confirmation on one part of it from anyone. I deal with some internal developers in south america and they won't give the name of the person they are funneling my questions to because they (I think) are suspicious that I will try to pass the work off to them. Ahh, big company problems, lol.

CS/Q: nope.

kiki047 · January 2019

*lurking* to give some hugs.
@kimmer1412 sorry for CD1.
@b_1029 *hugs* friend. I'm sorry yesterday was so tough, but glad you were able to express some of your feelings and I hope YH acknowledged them and will help you feel more supported moving forward. Maybe taking this month "off" from temping and with no meds is just the mental reset you need to, y'know, "relax and let it happen"

(I'm obviously kidding, I apologize if it's too soon to joke about that)

misshelen86 · January 2019

@kimmer1412 Sorry to see you back here.

@b_1029 That’s really frustrating you have to see your doc first. That might have been good to share when they first ordered it. Sorry you’re not feeling supported, hopefully that conversation will help YH pay more attention to your emotional needs.

@creamcheeseplease Sorry for CD1. What kind of chocolate did you have? That’s really annoying about your work problem. Hopefully you’re able to get it sorted out.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: Ava, SMEP, OPK, CM, RLT, fertility yoga

R/R: Back to working nights again. I think I prefer nights in that they are generally less chaotic. It just makes SMEP a bit trickier but sometimes DH will come home a bit earlier before I leave for work. I’m hoping for O this weekend since I’ll be off!

CS/Q: nope

creamcheeseplease · January 2019

@misshelen86 I had a Twix bar. It was delicious. and very healthy I think 😆
sounds like you have a goood plan to get the SMEP done this month even with a tough schedule!

inthewoods23 · January 2019

@kimmer1412 boo CD1

@b_1029 I hope YH took the conversation well! I've had a few words for my DH in previous months too. I know this next IUI is going to be on a work day and DH better be there and none of the "oh I'm so busy crap".

@creamcheeseplease happy to see you back on the board but boo CD1 of course!

@misshelen86 hope the timing works out good for you! I like less chaotic too

Month/Cycle: 19/18

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: IUI #2 and stuff

R/R: I wish we had some sunnier days. Been cloudy and overcast for a while. Yesterday I almost forgot to pick up my prescription for letrozole and decided I would go through the drive thru since I didn't have anything else to pick up. I almost was in a panic because they asked about a new insurance card which had me confused because I gave it to them last month which I then realized was last year... But they got it figured out. Then, when they had the stuff in the tray for me to grab I picked up my card first and as I was doing that my prescription FLEW away down the parking lot from the wind. It is only 10 pills plus they staple the medicine info sheet to the bag so I wasn't that surprised that it happened. I didn't lose it so that's good, except for the receipt.

CS/Q: look I took my temp for once! What a cute dot.

stephanie123456 · January 2019

@kimmer1412 So sorry about CD1.

@b_1029 Where are you going in Cali? And that sucks about your doctor office. But glad that it was able to help you connect with YH

@creamcheeseplease Sorry to see you back here. And that also sucks about your work.

@misshelen86 Keeping my FX for your O!

@inthewoods23 ohmy! What an experience at the pharmacy. Glad that it didn't escape.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, CM, PNV, EPO, mucinex, no coffee (green tea instead), raspberry leaf tea, preseed, softcups

R/R: Well last night was a doozy for me. DH and I used the soft cups for the first time, and it was interesting. I also was super low on gas so DH went to get it for me. I totally forgot that I updated our address so my card didn't work because DH forgot the new zip code. So he was super pissed because he had to come home and get another card (he didn't bring his wallet). My car ran out of gas literally as he pulled into our complex

So DH had to take his car out, buy a gas can and some fuel, then come back home. It's a good thing we had already BD because let's just say his mood was...

CS/Q: nope

kiki047 · January 2019

@stephanie123456 omg LOL at your gas story. That royally sucks for YH but

as if that actually happened!

inthewoods23 · January 2019

@stephanie123456 that's quite the story! DH and I always do our BDing before bed because he never wants to do it earlier. If that had been us... Yeah we probably wouldn't BD that night. I have a hard time getting over my anger and irritation sometimes.

junebabyh · January 2019

@stephanie123456 Haha! Laughing at your gas story b/c a) i would totally do that and DH would totally be pissy at me for it, and b) the word gas used over and over is making me giggle.

b_1029 · January 2019

@creamcheeseplease yummm chocolate for breakfast haha. Sorry to hear about the work frustration.

@kiki047 I am feeling so relaxed now that I'm sure it'll happen

that's how it works right????

@misshelen86 hopefully you O this weekend and you all are able to SMEP it out!

@inthewoods23 I think he did, but seemed shocked when I questioned if he even wanted a baby. I was like I mean you never act disappointed and you never talk about it so...??? I know he's trying to be positive, but sometimes it comes off to me as not really giving a crap what happens. Oh man, I'm glad you didn't lose your pills! That would be awful! Your temp is lookin real cute.

@stephanie123456 San Diego! I've never been so am really excited. That story is hilarious! Your poor H!

lcking82 · January 2019

@inthewoods23: AGREE about the cloudiness and gloom. We have partly cloudy today, and I'm SO excited to see sunshine.

@b_1029: I'm so upset FOR you about the Clomid!

@stephanie123456: oh gosh...yes, glad you got business taken care of before that!

AFM: nothing new right now. Just hanging out in WTO forever. Will do the whole shebang tomorrow.

shamrocandroll · January 2019

**lurking... or maybe I actually go here... who knows**

@b_1029 I loooove San Diego! It's my favorite part of Cali. Have so much fun!

prpl11butterfly · January 2019

Late to the party and likely wont have time for tags.

Actually footage of me entering WTO:

Month/Cycle: 18

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: This cycle will be...

BBT/charting, OPK, Methylfoate PNV, B6 &B12, Vitamin D, Tums (IDK, following RE orders), Baby Aspirin, CoQ10, TI, softcups, progesterone after + OPK

R/R: I'm really glad to be moving into this cycle. Finally something for treatment and its giving me a some hope. Also, going to see a house tonight! Hasn't been a lot on the market and a potential beauty was listed this weekend (i say potential because I don't trust realtors pics, they are skilled st deception). Rant- still feeling rough but I'm working through it.

CS/Q: Nothing going on

inthewoods23 · January 2019

@b_1029 I think DH would have been indifferent for the most part, maybe somewhat impatient but *TW* he has definitely changed with 3 family members in my family getting KU within a month and a half of each other. And we've been trying for 3 time longer than all of them *end TW*

I try to not let the frustration get to me but it sometimes you just feel like there's no hope.

junebabyh · January 2019

@prpl11butterfly I'm sorry for CD1, but you sound hopeful. Moving is a fun distraction! I feel like you were house hunting back in the June BMB, no? Hope the one you see tonight is dreamy. Before we moved I picked out 100 perfect houses online and promptly nixed them in person. Agree that realtor pics are totally deceiving... I was rather impressed with how good they made my own condo look when I was selling.

MNturnsVA · January 2019

Month/Cycle: 3/3 I guess?

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: nothing yet- but plan to use OPKs, check CM, and temp

R/R: nothing really today

CS/Q: Ok, I know what soft cups are- but how are they being used for the TTGP process??? I was pretty active on these boards in 2015- but this is a new thing.....so inquiring minds want to know about it. And what does SMEP mean?? I try to participate as I can, and tag and respond to people as I can. My work life is like the movie office space most days- I do just enough to not get in trouble....but I struggle to find motivation to do work. And I sit with my back to a door opening- so I never know who could be sneaking up on me. Hard to be on here a whole lot.

@b_1029 Glad you talked to your DH. It's so hard to have those conversations, but it's so much better to have them and tell him how you feel. I also think that as women and thanks to all of our lovely predisposed genes and hormones, it's just a million times harder on us than it is on them, especially the emotional aspect of TTGP. I was just telling my counselor the other night that even though I haven't directly asked my DH a few questions about how he feels about where we are at, I'm pretty confident of what his answers would be. We are on a limited TTGP time frame ( I'm 38, will be 39 in August, and hubby is 46) and we just don't want to be a whole lot older than we are already are, if a #2 child came into the picture. I'm glad to hear you are going away for a few days- it will be good for you! San Diego is one of my favorite places!!! It's amazing!!! Go to Old Town if you can- there is this AMAZING outdoor mexican restaurant and if you go at night, you can see the stars in the sky from your table!! Old town is great!! The whole area is nice, I'm jealous!!

@kimmer1412- sorry about CD 1!!!

sorarose · January 2019

@kimmer1412: I recommend some soft cheese, deli meat, sushi, and an alcoholic beverage.

@b_1029: When doctor's offices screw up, it's the worst! Sorry that happened.

@creamcheeseplease: I support your breakfast choices.

@misshelen86: Glad you're enjoying your work schedule.

@inthewoods23: Stressful, but glad it mostly seemed to work out.

@stephanie123456: Yikes, that's quite the story!

@prpl11butterfly: Congrats on househunting! Hope to be in a similar boat shortly!

________________________________________________________________

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, FF, OPKs, new thermometer and preseed in transit.

R/R: Rant: My co-worker was being extra extra today. I try to be cordial, but everything I say seems to irritate him and he snapped at me for the most trivial of reasons. I'm not his direct supervisor, but in chain of command, I'm above him and he works for me. So over it.

Rave: New thermometer and preseed in transit!!!

CS/Q: Busy stalking others.

kimmer1412 · January 2019

@sorarose I like the way you think 😉

@MNturnsVA SMEP is sex EOD starting on CD8, start OPKs on CD10 and continue until +OPK then sex that day and the next 2 days skip the 4th day and have sex on the 5th day. Basically its covering all your potential fertile days to take the guess work out.

MNturnsVA · January 2019

@kimmer1412 - um....nope. I can't. I would be burnt out. I remember when we were actively TTGP with #1 and hubby had been "bragging" that he could have sex everyday if I'd let him......well we ended up randomly doing that once, and he was too tired to have sex again on the 3rd day or something. I was like- what happened to mr I can do this everyday?!?!? which again, I could not do it everyday. even for the sake of TTGP- I couldn't. More power to all the ladies who can!

shamrocandroll · January 2019

*Lurking from TWW

@MNturnsVA I think once you've tried for long enough, you'll do just about whatever it takes, including sex EOD... no matter how tired (or in my case sick) you are! Babymaking sex isn't always glamorous, but you gotta do what you gotta do! That said, I definitely secretly celebrated when my FW finally ended this time around. And we did a pretty decent job of keeping it enjoyable this go around.
