kimmer1412 · January 2019

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, BBT, SMEP, FF

R/R: it's a rainy day here, its apparently national peanut butter day so work is providing fun snacks and fixings to make fluffernutter sandwiches.

CS/Q: not much to see although temps before O are so weird LOL

inthewoods23 · January 2019

@kimmer1412 that's cool that your work is providing all those snacks on honor of national peanut butter day!

Month/Cycle: 19/18

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: IUI #2 tomorrow!

R/R: very excited that we got to do the trigger last night. With the IUI on a Friday, that means I'll go back in 2 weeks for testing and either illI get the weekend to sulk or to celebrate!

Apparently I fell asleep with my phone in my hands last night because my alarm went off and it wasn't on my nightstand but under my bed. Was a little worried it would affect my temp but that seems to have stayed on the low end

CS/Q: I took an OPK this morning just to see what would happen now that I've had the trigger shot. It was a blazing positive after like 30 seconds lol. Curious to see how my temp increases in the next day or 2.

emeraldcity603 · January 2019

@kimmer1412 flutternutter sandwiches sound good.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, HIO, tracking CM, Tempdrop

R/R: my FIL is in town. He leaves this Saturday which I think will be perfect timing for us to start HIO. I just hope DH's work schedule doesn't get in the way.

CS/Q: not much to see yet.

jennifer_louise · January 2019

@kimmer1412 whattttt? That sounds like an awesome day at work. Good on them for doing fun stuff

@inthewoods23 sooo excited for you!! Good luck with that IUI tomorrow.

@emeraldcity603 I hope you're having fun with FIL! I'm glad you guys will have the house all to yourself during your FW (:

Month/cycle: 9

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: HIO EODish, PNVs, CM, cutting caffeine, etc.

R/R: I made it to yoga last night which was incredibly needed. I sleep terribly during the TWW so immediately after I crawled into bed at 8pm and slept NINE hours. It was glorious.

CS/Q: nope!

galentine · January 2019

Lurking from TWW...

@kimmer1412, your workplace sounds fun! Enjoy your fluffer nutter!

@inthewoods23, yay for trigger! Good luck tomorrow!

@emeraldcity603, good timing getting FIL out of the house before the FW!

@jennifer_louise, I love your Leslie reference! Also I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has trouble sleeping during the TWW. I was awake from 1 until 4 last night. Arrgghhhhhh!

b_1029 · January 2019

Month/Cycle: 15/16

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, CM, PNVs, EPO, green tea, fish oil, RLT/fertility tea, hormone balancing supplement

R/R: HOLY CRAP TB APP. I’m shocked I can even post, it took like 17 tries. I can’t love tit, spoilers don’t work, I can’t tag people (I’ll be back later! Love you guys haha!), and last night there was one of those stupid “congrats amazon user!” popups. I’ve tried uninstalling and turning my phone off but beyond that idk what to do. Annoying. Rave- I got my first PR for probably over a year this morning so I was super excited! I texted DH to tell him to wait so we could “celebrate” before he went to work, aka I had a +OPK yesterday and am trying to make up a bunch of fake excuses. Oh well, it did the job 🤷🏼‍♀️

CS/Q: nope

daffodil_shoe · January 2019

@kimmer1412 those are some weird temps!

@inthewoods23 best of luck with your IUI!!

@jennifer_louise I’m so jealous of your sleep! I’m always a terrible sleeper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: Clomid CD3-7, B6, OPKs, BBT

R/R: I’m supposed to ovulate today and we last had sex two days ago, so today would be a good day to do so again, right? Apparently DH was “too tired.” DH, who is *always* in the mood, couldn’t manage it today. Are you kidding me? I’m on medicine that puts me at risk for reproductive health issues, but ya let’s throw this cycle away because you’re “too tired.” 😠

CS/Q: none

emeraldduchess · January 2019

Good morning, ladies! I am OFF the bench! Woohooo!!
@kimmer1412 I practically grew up on fluffanutter sandwiches! Now I am craving one in the worst way!
@jennifer_louise sounds like yoga was exactly what you needed.

@emeraldcity603 I hipe you're have a nice time with you FIL.
@inthewoods23 good luck tomorrow! Sending love and light your way! 💜

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 1( I never thought I would be so happy to get my period!)

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, HIO, SMEP, red raspberry leaf tea.

R/R: DH and I decided that we want to mKe Valentine's Day special this year because our Christmas was so lousy. We normally don't make a big deal out of Valentine's Day, so I am not sure what I want to do for him as far as a gift or plans goes. Funny enough, FF has 2/14 as a possible O date.

CS/Q: Not today!

prpl11butterfly · January 2019

@Kimmer123super jelly about the treats. Our customers have been slacking in that department.

@inthewoods23 glad your OPK is lining up for you! FX for a smooth procedure tomorrow!

@emeraldcity603 you make him work work around this! I can't tell you how many times I've vetoed work things for MY over the year....

@jennifer_louise 9 hrs sounds devine. I cannot remember the last time I got a solid 9 hrs.....

@b_1029 as long as it does the trick right? Lol

Month/Cycle: 18m

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: PNV, B6&12, Vitamin D, CoQ10, Baby asprin, Tums, Softcups, TI, Progesterone after + OPK, BBT to confirm O, fertility yoga

R/R: AF seems to have FINALLY departed. I've never had her drag her feet like that. Still battling congestion but need to wean off the meds in the next couple of days for my FW. I'm already past my 7 days of affrin but it's the only way I can breathe so.....

CS/Q: Nothing for now. Temping will probably start Sunday am.

creamcheeseplease · January 2019

Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPK, tracking CM

R/R: It's pouring rain here, but its like 50 so I want to try to sneak in a run after work. Hopefully washing all the ice away! I'm so bored in this part of my cycle, since I don't usually O until CD 19-25 this is boooooring.

CS/Q: nope

@kimmer1412 UMMMM now I need to get some PB! How great that your work is doing fun stuff!

@inthewoods23 GL with IUI!!

@emeraldcity603 Glad your FIL will be leaving before FW! My DH does shift work so we have timing issues like that frequently. I hope YH's work doesn't get in your way this time!

@jennifer_louise I'm glad you made it to yoga and got good sleep!

@b_1029 congrats on the PR! an excellent excuse to celebrate

@daffodil_shoe I'm sorry YH couldn't get the job done, that is frustrating.

@emeraldduchess I'm glad you are off the bench! A 2/14 O date sounds like it would be a nice coincidence!

begging4abump · January 2019

@kimmer1412 rainy day here too, but it feels warmer, so I’ll take it! Enjoy your pb!

@inthewoods23 I hope tomorrow goes well & glad to hear the timing works out!

@emeraldcity603 Glad to see FIL is cooperating with your HIO schedule 😂

@jennifer_louise Sleep makes such a difference! Glad to hear you were able to catch some zzzz.

@galentine 1-4 sounds really rough! I hope you can catch up on sleep soon!

@b_1029 I HATE those “you’ve won” pop ups. I think it’s usually when I go down the rabbit hole of researching regarding ttc, and I’m about to solve it all (😂)when there is a pop up! Arghh. I hear you on the app being a pain. Mine refuses to refresh all the time. Anyway, congrats on the pr. Is that running?

@daffodil_shoe How frustrating!! Hopefully he makes it up to you later.

@emeraldduchess yay!! And it’ll be so nice to look forward to Valentine’s Day!

@prpl11butterfly Glad AF finally left! What a pain!

@creamcheeseplease I hope the rain stops by the time it’s quitting time!

Month/Cycle: 9

CD: 12 (how do I need to check ff every time to answer this question?)

WAYDTGKU: SMEP, pnv, bbt, cm, decaf only, 30 min stress relieving exercise/day

R/R: excited to be having defrosted leftovers tonight. Ha, sounds unappetizing in that wording, but knowing that I don’t have to plan out ingredients or do anything beyond reheating sounds “decadent” atm. (Does anyone remember those old Pizza Hut commercials where they surprised ppl by telling them that Pizza Hut made the pasta? Ppl described the pasta as decadent 🙄😆. I think I’ve only heard the word used in commercial products that are less than what I’d typically describe as luxurious. I love it.)

CS/Q: not yet

creamcheeseplease · January 2019

@begging4abump DED yes I remember that commercial and it was absolutely bananas. Like... no. Also I usually have to check FF but now I just check @kimmer1412s post since we are CD buddies this cycle 😀

inthewoods23 · January 2019

@b_1029 I don't have the app issues you're having, but the text gets all messaged up sometimes when I go back and add a sentence or a word in the middle. Super weird. Hope the app starts cooperating for you!

@emeraldduchess glad to see you're off the bench! Woohoo! Love your idea of doing something special for Valentine's day. We typically do nothing too.

@prpl11butterfly glad to hear that AF finally left! Always a pain when it drags on!

@creamcheeseplease ha and we have a high on 19 today. Tomorrow and Saturday are suppose to be single digits and we even have a few below 0 highs next week! -10 for a high? Yuck!

inthewoods23 · January 2019

@begging4abump the app doesn't refresh automatically for me anymore too!

kbrown2385 · January 2019

I feel so so far behind already today! Sorry if I miss anyone!

@kimmer1412 I haven’t had a fluffernitter in so long!

@inthewoods23 exciting about your iui! Fix for you!

@emeraldcity603 hope you have anic evisit with your fil!

@jennifer_louise glad you were able to get good solid sleep last night. It’s so refreshing!

@emeraldduchess a valentines o day sounds like a good way to celebrate 😆

@prpl11butterfly hope you’re over the sick soon!

@b_1029 I feel you on the app! I was getting all of those congrats you won pop ups for awhile last night! It looks more normal for me this morning though.

@creamcheeseplease it’s raining here today too! So much better than the cold!

@begging4abump it makes me feel better I’m not the only one who has to check my cuff daily for my cd 🤣

Month/Cycle: 26/1 post bench

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: metformin, keto, bbt, opk, smep, progesterone

R/R: It’s raining here today and I’d rather stay in bed. I did get to sleep in a little, so I shouldn’t complain, but errands are no fun when it’s pouring.

CS/Q: moving along I guess

prpl11butterfly · January 2019

You guys!!! One of our managers just had a meeting and the guy brought donuts!!!

inthewoods23 · January 2019

@prpl11butterfly score!!

prpl11butterfly · January 2019

@creamcheeseplease raining here too. Its gross but I won't be sad to see our ice gone!

@daffodil_shoe it drives me crazy when H doesnt seem to be in the mood. Though admittedly I make him feel really guilty because hello, you have 1 job to do and don't even get me started on all the things I have had to do.... im kind of mean sometimes...

@emeraldduchess such a head trip actually being excited for AF. Glad to see your back in the saddle 😉 FF has my test date as 2/14. And unfortunately I have to test so it could be a shitty day for me.

@begging4abump decadant pasta 🤔 not exactly a word I'd use for that but ok pizza hut.... I really like leftover night. Not having to think AND getting some stuff out of the fridge, yes please!

@kbrown2385 I hate doing anything in the rain. This morning I had to drive to the fertility clinic. On the highway (despise....) in the dark, in the rain. Yuck.

brookert615 · January 2019

@kimmer1412 That's too cute your work is doing that!!! And I agree on weird temps before O! lol

@inthewoods23 That's so awesome you were able to get everything done - good luck at your IUI tomorrow!!!

@emeraldcity603 Hoping for perfect timing for you guys!!!

@jennifer_louise Glad you were able to get a yoga session in! That's crazy you slept for nine hours!

@b_1029 TB app needs work. Girl, how exciting about your PR! What was it in? And that's genius about how to celebrate! Glad YH waited!

@daffodil_shoe Yes, get that BD in! You still have time if you're supposed to O today

.

@emeraldduchess Glad you finally are on a fresh cycle! That's so cool that your O date is predicted for Valentines Day! Regardless of what you do I'm sure it will be super special for you guys!

@prpl11butterfly Glad AF is over!!! Hope you feel better and can breathe better, stat!

@creamcheeseplease Hopefully you can get your run in! It is kind of boring with a later O date!

@begging4abump Yay for easy dinners! Pizza Hut PASTA? I must've missed this but it definitely does not sound decadent LOL.

@kbrown2385 At least you were able to sleep in a bit! Hopefully you can stay dry during your errands!

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: Metformin (for PCOS), Armour Thyroid (for Hashimoto's), PNVs, Vitamin C & D, Kelp, Calcium, OPKs, Temping, FighterDiet

R/R: My back is still in a lot of pain but the chiropractor did help a lot - I can move better. Sitting is pure torture so I can't wait to get out of work! I have to go back on Friday so hopefully I find more relief! I got a raise at work today - even though it's not as much as I was hoping I am glad I got something

.

CS/Q: Negative OPK yesterday - I think I O on CD17 but FF said I didn't O last month so curious where this month leads me...

emeraldcity603 · January 2019

@inthewoods23 goodluck with the IUI!

@jennifer_louise getting good sleep after an awesome workout is always a glorious combination.

@b_1029 I try to make it not so obvious that I'm seducing my husband just for his sperm 😂 he gets super anxious when he knows I'm dropping an egg. Do whatever it takes to get the job done.

@emeraldduchess I think that is awesome that you're making valentines special. I can relate to having a horrible Christmas. I hope ya'll plan something fun and romantic so you can jump him afterwards. 😂

@prpl11butterfly AF has been dragging for me too. I had 5 days of flow then 2 days of nothing, then spotting for 2 days. 🤔 it's very frustrating.

@creamcheeseplease enjoy your run! I hate that my husband works shift work. It makes our timing hard sometimes because it isn't that easy to work it in during other parts of the day.

@begging4abump anytime I don't have to cook is a wonderful night. It is not something I enjoy doing.

@kbrown2385 I hope there are enough breaks in the rain for you to stay dry.

littleredm · January 2019

@kimmer1412 I haven't heard of national peanut butter day. I feel like there's a national everything day now lol. It's cool your work is providing some stuff though.

@inthewoods23 That's so exciting about your trigger! All FX for you for IUI #2. I think I'm going to be asking for a trigger this time around and I want to do two IUI's in a row because I want to make sure that the timing is good. We won't start for another month or two though to so we can save up money.

@emeraldcity603 FX that YH's work schedule doesn't interfere with timing!

@jennifer_louise Yay for yoga and for some good sleep!

@b_1029 ugh the bump mobile is THE WORST.

@daffodil_shoe I'm sorry that YH couldn't get the job done. That's so frustrating.

@emeraldduchess aww that's sweet you're going to do something special for Valentine's day. Normally DH and I don't really do much for it either but this year I'm planning on putting a heart on our bedroom door each day in February. Each heart I'll have written a reason why I love him.

@prpl11butterfly I hope that you start feeling better soon. Congestion is so frustrating.

@creamcheeseplease I hope that the rain let up a bit and you were able to have a nice run!

@begging4abump Haha enjoy those leftovers girl! The only time I've heard the word decadent used is on cooking shows where they're talking about desserts.

@kbrown2385 Sorry for the rain. It always makes me want to stay in bed and sleep too which is great when it's on a weekend but now when I actually have things to do.

Month/Cycle: 14/14

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, cm, opk, CoQ10, etc

R/R: I have doctor's appointments today and tomorrow and I need to write something for my dad's memorial. I'm supposed to be speaking but I'm starting to question whether I'm going to be able to emotionally. We've been digitizing his radio tapes (he used to be a dj on the radio) and my brother sent me a clip yesterday where he did a shout out to me and my brother on air which was really sweet. There's going to be a lunch after the service and we're going to be playing oldies music (his favorite) and interspersing some of his tapes between songs like they would have been on the radio in his memory.

CS/Q: will share when there's more to see.

brookert615 · January 2019

@littleredm Hopefully your appointments go well! Hope you can stay strong during the memorial. That is truly so special by adding his tapes between songs

.

sevenn · January 2019

@kimmer1412 - omggg PP and fluff

@inthewoods23 - yay for triggering!
@emeraldduchess - welcome back!
@littleredm - *hugs* that sounds so special but difficult

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: trying to like my husband again.

R/R: raining but 50s here today too! but i'm at work. and about to work this weekend. and will be out of town for at least part of my upcoming FW. and DH ticked me off last night. haha, lots of ranting from me!

CS/Q: meh

begging4abump · January 2019

@littleredm I love your vday idea. I may try something similar! On a separate note, I’m so sorry for how hard the mourning process is! It sounds like you’ve figured out exactly how to personalize the gathering. What a beautiful touch!

@brookert615 Glad the chiropractor visit helped!

inthewoods23 · January 2019

@sevenn sounds like some makeup sex in your future! 😆 I think DH and I have only ever done that once or twice in the early years of us dating. Now when one or both of us is ticked off about something that's that last thing we'd ever do.

samashley1 · January 2019

@kimmer1412: I’m behind anything PB-related. BRB going to eat a full jar.

@inthewoods23: Awesome to get that blazin’ OPK!

@jennifer_louise omg, awesome sleep. Congrats! Our dogs kept us up all night last night. Today is neat-o!

@b_1029: “did…the job” :wink wink nudge nudge: Don’t mind me, I had a tiny bit of caffeine today and I never do that so I’m a little wiiiiired.

@daffodil_shoe: Ugh. I’m sorry. Men.

@emeraldduchess I love that idea and I’m so stealing it. We moved during Christmas week (into our first house) and my birthday is at the beginning of Jan but boyf had to travel for work the next day. Thank you for this fab idea! I’m excited for you (and me now!)

@begging4abump I’m DYING. I work in advertising and I love hearing what people remember from old TV spots. “Decadent” is such a weird word to describe pasta. But I love it for some reason.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: CD7

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, Conception vitamin + others (D3, b12, CoQ10, zinc), acupuncture starting next week (!)

R/R: The OBGYN said that he doesn’t see anything wrong, structurally, and it COULD be endometriosis, but he doesn’t think so. Regardless, “get pregnant ASAP and your symptoms will resolve.” Workin’ on it. Plus, I scheduled my first acupuncture treatment Monday and went to the gym last night (if only for 30 minutes and to get a smoothie). Those could all be rants/raves? I don’t know what’s happening in my life today. I’m functioning on like 2 hours of sleep.

CS/Q: FF is telling me that I’m O now because of my temps but it’s way too early, my OPKs are negative, and I just had an US at the OBGYN because of the pain I’ve been having. He was able to see that I ovulated from my right ovary last cycle but I’m not currently. So, my temps are just crazy and FF doesn’t love it.

Two chart photos bc wtf: (spoilers aren't working?! Sorry, I'll try to hide them in there in a bit when the glitch maybe works itself out)

b_1029 · January 2019

finally able to get on TB on my desktop! I've been sharing my screen all morning in meetings so had to appear productive...

@kimmer1412 sooo jealous of your PB day at work! I love anything PB related! Hope you enjoy.

@inthewoods23 that's so exciting about the trigger! Hope 2 Fridays from now is filled with good news!

@emeraldcity603 yesss perfect timing on your FIL leaving! Hopefully YH's work schedule works out too. Same on trying to not make it obvious...like gimme it, but I'm going to make up a bunch of random reasons why (stress relief, celebrating a PR, celebrating Thursday, Friday...lol). I never tell him when I'm ovulating but he's no dummy, I'm pretty sure he knows. Luckily he typically never has any "issues" unless he has been drinking, so any time I'm interested is pretty much a yes for him.

@jennifer_louise wow 9 hours, that's awesome! you must feel ready to conquer the world today! Good job making it to yoga.

@daffodil_shoe ugh I hope YH is able to suck it up! They act like it's so hard...in reality, think of all the crap we have to do! Men have it so easy and they don't even know

@emeraldduchess I'm so happy you're off the bench! That's really sweet about V-day and how perfect about your O date! I'm glad you two are planning on making the day special. Any plans yet?

@prpl11butterfly definitely

I'm glad AF finally left the building and I'm sorry you're not feeling well. FX you get well soon and the donuts helped!

@creamcheeseplease nice and "warm"! Hope you enjoy your run. Totally agree that waiting to O is so freaking boring.

@begging4abump lol to being about to solve it all - who knows what we'd be able to solve without those stupid popups! And definitely no, I can't run to save my life. It was a weightlifting movement! What kind of leftovers? Love the convenience!

@kbrown2385 I'm glad TB is working for you now! It seems to come and go in spurts for me. Maybe by the weekend! Errands while it's raining out are the worst. Hope you're able to get everything done you need to today.

@brookert615 squat clean! I was pumped. I'm glad the chiro was able to help a bit with your back and hopefully Friday cures it completely! And YAY that's awesome about your raise, congratulations! I know you've been working so much lately so it's well deserved!

@littleredm I hope your appointments go well! And oh man, that would be so hard. That is so special about the clips and songs for him!

@sevenn LOL to your WAYDTGKU!

@samashley1 I'm glad nothing was wrong! And oh thanks man, like that's not literally what I'm trying to do right now haha.

begging4abump · January 2019

@b_1029 I can’t run either, but I also can’t lift...congrats to you! Don’t think I’m good at hiding either, so if I’m in danger, let’s hope I can use an elliptical to get to safety. 😂 The leftovers are MH’s homemade attempt at Skyline chili, which is a little sweeter than typical chili and served over spaghetti with cheddar & onions on top. It’s big up in Ohio, which is where MH’s fam is from. It’s an acquired taste that I’m...acquiring. 😂😂

brookert615 · January 2019

@b_1029 'Atta girl that's so exciting! And thank you!

b_1029 · January 2019

@begging4abump I'm not a fan of Skyline either! I dated a guy from Ohio in college and he made me try it after talking about how amazing it was like our entire drive there...it was very...meh. Not bad, but not amazing. Hope the homemade is a bit better!

samashley1 · January 2019

I'm from Ohio, but NE Ohio. I've lived in Columbus (Central) for the last 9 years. People here are obsessed with Skyline. I don't like it. Northeastern Ohioans weren't raised on that garbage, haha.

emeraldduchess · January 2019

@daffodil_shoe man, that's frustrating that your H wasn't in the mood. Sometimes I think our SO's don't quite get just how small a window we have on O day!
@b_1029 no Valentine's plans yet. I'm looking for a sweet gift and I'll probably get him some chocolate too. We will probably go out to dinner the night after since V-Day is on a Thursday and we both have to be up early for work the next day. It's tough to go out and have a relaxing dinner when you have to be up at 5:00 am!
@samashley1 oof to only 2 hours of sleep. I hope you can get more rest tonight.
@sevenn I almost most spit out my water reading you WAYDTGKU! And I can definitely relate to that sometimes!
@littleredm it sounds like you have a beautiful memorial planned for your dad.
@brookert615 congratulations on your raise!
@prpl11butterfly AF left AND you got donuts in the same day? Woohoo!
@kbrown2385 boo to the rain. It was pouring and windy here today. Bleck.
@begging4abump I hope you enjoyed those leftovers! I love when popping something in the oven is all I have to do for dinner!
@creamcheeseplease I hope you were able to sneak in that run!
