CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: all the testing, metformin, temping, keto
R/R: happy weekend everyone! Getting everything ready to start seeds for our garden. This is our first year starting from seeds so I’m hoping it actually works.
CS/Q: nothing to see.
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, CM, EPO, SMEP
R/R: I haven’t slept at allll at my cousin’s apartment. Apparently she lives right on the busiest street in San Diego (total exaggeration but I’m a terribly light sleeper). So here I am awake at 6:30 ahha. Rave- having a great time with my cousin and it’s beautiful here! We’ve had great weather so far and today is supposed to be nice too. Already sad to leave tomorrow.
CS/Q: negative
@kbrown2385 what are you planting?
Month/Cycle: 19/18
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: IUI #2 and stuff
R/R: turns out all the snow is super powdery so shoveling the driveway this morning wasnct bad. Well, DH used the snow blower on the driveway while I shoveled the sidewalk up to our front door. Unfortunately, the front door was in the direction of the wind so everything DH was getting off the driveway was blowing onto the sidewalk I was trying to clear. More snow still to come today so it's at least decently cleared for us to leave the house today.
CS/Q: nothing too exciting yet

@b_1029 can you try a white noise app on your phone? Being in San Diego sounds amazing! I visited DH when he was staioned there 10 years ago (were dating at the time) and it was so wonderful! Are you visiting the zoo? It's currently below freezing and snowy by me so I'm super jelly.

WAYDTGKU:
PNV, tracking CM and OPKs
R/R: Just waiting for the snow tonight! I think we will get less than expected but I also think there might be bad ice when DH is driving home from work tomorrow morning. Not much on the schedule today, going to work out soon and then try for a quick jog in the afternoon when it’s a bit warmer.
CS/Q: nope
@b_1029 I’m sorry you weren’t able to sleep but I’m glad you’re having a nice time with your cousin!
@kbrown2385 I want to try gardening in pots this year on the deck, we don’t have an area in a yard we can garden. What do you grow?
@inthewoods23 I hate shoveling. So. Much. It always seems to just be migrating back from wind or whatever. My DH wants a snowblower so bad.
@daffodil_shoe I hope O holds off for you!
@daffodil_shoe hope o holds off for dh to be there!
@b_1029 glad you’re enjoying the weekend, minus crappy sleep.
@inthewoods23 glad the snow is nice and light. Makes for easier travel and cleaning for sure!
@b_1029 Sorry you didn’t sleep well, but I hope you enjoy your last day with your cousin!
@inthewoods23 Glad you were able to clear the snow. Stay safe out there!
@daffodil_shoe FX O holds off until YH is back!
@creamcheeseplease Enjoy your workout and jog.

R/R: Date night was good last night, we just went for dinner and watched a movie at home since there was nothing playing until later at night. We are hanging out with friends tonight and dinner at the in-laws tomorrow. I wish we didn’t have so much planned because I have so many other things I need to get done this weekend!
CS/Q: no idea what’s going on this month as my temp rise seems to have happened and I got my +OPK right after that.

Also, how is the tempdrop working for
you (beside your battery issue)? I preordered mine and it should be shipping soon. I’m looking forward to not having to manually temp.
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, BBT, FF, SMEP
R/R: just having a relaxing weekend. I'm trying to be blessed stresses this cycle with TTC, we'll see how I do since SMEP starts this week.
CS/Q: nah
@b_1029 wow that's a short trip. Glad that the weather was cooperative for you.
@inthewoods23 Yay for powdery snow!
@daffodil_shoe Keeping my FX for your timing to work out!
@creamcheeseplease Hope you and YH enjoy the weekend.
@misshelen86 I know what you mean about a busy weekend. Hope you are able to get your errands taken care of.
@sevenn So sorry to see you back here friend *hugs*
@nnaelilak GL on your keto journey. I attempted to try it mid last year and was just meh about it. Maybe if MH did it with me, I would have stuck with it longer.
@kimmer1412 Yay for relaxing weekend.

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, CM, SMEP, PNV, EPO, no coffee (grean tea instead), mucinex, raspberry leaf tea, preseed, softcups
R/R: Been a full weekend so far. And true to form, got my first +OPK yesterday on CD15... I have been weirdly regular that for the past three cycles I have had this happen. Got a blazing + today so maybe O tonight or tomorrow..? Also got a temp dip today.
CS/Q: nope
ETA chart
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
I'm new to posting and just jumping over here because good ol' AF showed up today. Nice to meet you all:)
daffodil_shoe Crossing fingers O holds off for you also.
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: FAM, OPK, SMEP, seed cycling
R/R: Last month was the first month I felt great about our timing. Before that, I wasn't sure about BD'ing close enough to ovulation, but this time I know I did. Still wish for a different result but interestingly, I'm getting better each month at handling AF when she comes.
CS/Q: Chart looks good. Only thing I worried about last cycle was I started a tiny amount of spotting on the 10th day, so I'm not sure if that means I have low progesterone if it's related to something else. I had a couple months previously a crazy amount of spotting but seeing a gyno about it so hopefully we can get to the bottom of it soon!
I absolutely love tempdrop! It's so awesome not manually temping, the community is amazing and I changed the battery yesterday and all was back to working perfectly this morning!
