emeraldduchess · February 2019

Good morning, ladies!

Month/Cycle: 7/6 (benched for 1 cycle, first cycle AL)

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, HIO, SMEP(ish), and red raspberry leaf tea

R/R: It's Monday and I am sure I will have some sleepy kiddos in my class today. Either that or they will be off the wall because of the Patriots. Good luck to me getting them to focus on anything!

CS/Q: Nah. I am trying to decide if I want to keep temping once O is confirmed.

creamcheeseplease · February 2019

Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: OPK PNV tracking CM

R/R: I don't even like football, yet stayed up and watched the game and now I'm tired

Also drank a bunch of beers so that definitely did not help the sleep I did get. Just at work, about to make my to-do list and hopefully cross a bunch of stuff off it. Also it is going to be so nice later (in the 50s!) and I'm planning to run after work.

CS/Q: Nothing going on... OPKS are all negative still...

creamcheeseplease · February 2019

@emeraldduchess temping after O always made me insane analyzing every little thing BUT I hated the way the chart looked, haha.

kopp5988 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess good luck with the kids today!

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: BBT, FF, CM, raspberry leaf tea, essential oils, OPKs

R/R: had a great relaxing weekend, went for a relatively short trail run with DH and we stopped at a winery for a tasting on the way home. It’s our favorite winery and we’ve been wanting to become members but I was hestitant since we’re TTC and don’t want to waste our money if I get pregnant. After this weekend we think we’re gonna sign up in hopes that it will “jinx us” and I won’t be able to drink anymore.

CS/Q: so far my 6 days of temping at 430am have all been within 0.2 degrees of each other so I’m pretty happy about that

shamrocandroll · February 2019

@emeraldduchess Good luck with the crazy.sleepy kiddos today!

@creamcheeseplease Enjoy your run later!

AFM...

Well... I'm back. I'm happy to see you ladies again, but not happy about the circumstances.

Month/Cycle: 7

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: N/A (benched)

R/R: **TW: BFP & loss

I started feeling really nauseous at one of my conference sessions on Thursday, so I went back that evening and took a cheapie test. Extremely faint line, but it was definitely there. Took another cheapie the next morning and had another faint line. I went out and bought a FRER and digital. The FRER showed a slightly less faint line that evening, and then the digital showed positive on Saturday morning. I got a really cute little Disney 2019 romper for MH's souvenir to surprise him with. Got home Saturday about 4 hours late on Saturday night (I was on my plane in Orlando ready to take off when they made us all get off and go back through security again... yep, I was in that whole mess) and gave him the romper and he cried. I've never seen him cry happy tears before. I woke up the next morning to bad cramps and bleeding and had to tell him only about 12 hours later that we lost the pregnancy again. I'm going through a whole range of emotions right now. Everything from relief that at least it wasn't a long and drawn out process this time around... to complete shock and sadness. I'm calling my OB back today, and if she doesn't bench me formally, I'll be benching myself for the next 2-3 months to give myself and my body a reset. And maybe booking a couple of therapy sessions for myself.

CS/Q: None

@shamrocandroll sending hugs ❤ I'm sorry.

@emeraldduchess I'm much less BSC when I dont temp past confirmation of O. I do highly recommend it.

creamcheeseplease · February 2019

@shamrocandroll I’m so sorry for your loss.

marebear15 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess - Good luck with your classroom today. Do you have a lot of Patriot fans in your area?
I'm not going to temp after O this time, except when I'm getting close to AL, to see the drop in temp. It doesn't stress me out, but DH wakes up when I temp.

@creamcheeseplease - It's so nice today! Enjoy your run. I think I'm going to workout tonight. It's been far too long since I had a workout.

@kopp5988 - Lol, to trying to jinx yourself. I do that a lot too with random things.

@shamrocandroll - Oh no! I'm so sorry for your loss. I know exactly what you're going through, and take as much time as you need. HUGS!

Month/Cycle: 10/9 (1 AL)

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, PNV, baby aspirin, methylfolate, B6, B-complex, no caffeine or alcohol, HIO

R/R: Got some Target therapy on Saturday! I went with my sister and got the new cinnamon gingerbread latte, and wandered around Target. I ended up getting a few things for my office, a mug for a friend, and some cute underwear for myself. Great way to spend an afternoon!
Also, finally had the conversation with DH as to try this month, or bench ourselves. He wondered if we were going to do the ED HIO again, so he's definitely on board with trying again!

CS/Q: Behold, the lonely dot!

@shamrocandroll I am so sorry

kopp5988 · February 2019

@shamrocandroll I am so so sorry, sending hugs your way ❤️

@creamcheeseplease I missed your post before, enjoy your run this afternoon in warmer weather!

@marebear15 I love target, afternoon well spent. And yeah I’m not even that superstitious but I figure at least I get yummy wine if the jinxing doesn’t work

sorarose · February 2019

@shamrocandroll I'm so sorry for your loss.

@emeraldduchess I remember those days! Mondays are hard, and the Superbowl doesn't help.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 22

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, CM, PNVs, HIO, Pre-seed

R/R: Rave: Patriots won last night! Rant: I've had positive OPKs three days in a row. My sleep is pretty sporadic, but temping was bad yesterday and a mess today. I had bad cramps until yesterday evening and my CM seemed to get more dry. Timing has been good, just frustrated.

CS/Q: Would you accept a temp that was taken 2 hours earlier with meh sleep or a temp taken a couple hours later than that around the right time? Or discard today? I had 97.17 at 5:45am and 97.83 at 8:15am. I usually test around 7:45am.

prpl11butterfly · February 2019

@sorarose I'd leave the 745 temp for today and see what tomorrow looks like before making the call to discard. I think a 30min difference would make little difference.

daffodil_shoe · February 2019

@emeraldduchess I hope the kids are behaved today!

@kopp5988 it's always nice to have a pretty chart!

@shamrocandroll I am so so sorry. Please take care of yourself ((hugs))

@marebear15 I love me some Target therapy!

@sorarose I would use the first temp. Leave it for now, and if it looks like a total outlier later in your chart, then discard it.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: Not sure yet. I just let my OBGYN I got my period, so we'll see if she wants me to move on to Letrazole protocol. I'm not going to try Clomid anymore.

R/R: I'm not even mad that I'm not pregnant. I'm pissed that we can't seem to get my luteal phase defect under control. Can't get pregnant with a 10-day luteal phase. Progesterone didn't work, Clomid didn't work...

CS/Q: none.

emeraldduchess · February 2019

@shamrocandroll I am so, so sorry. Love and hugs to you. 💚
@marebear15 I am in New England so it's alllll Pats fans here (except my DH who is from here but likes another team for some reason). I wonder how many kids are going to be "sick" tomorrow for the parade? Glad you had some Target therapy! I like to go there when I get a BFN and buy some cute socks or new nail polish. Or both.
@kopp5988 haha, jinxing yourself.

Totally worth the lost $$ if you get KU. Maybe you can buy a special bottle of wine to enjoy when you can drink again!
@creamcheeseplease enjoy your run in this beautiful weather!
@prpl11butterfly thanks for the advice with temping. I want to cut down on the BSC this cycle so I probably won't temp until I get a day or two from expecting AF. I am already anxious about how this will go (and how I react to either outcome), so anything I can do to calm myself I will do.

@daffodil_shoe I'm sorry for CD1 and that Clomid didn't help your LP. Hopefully your doctor will be able to find something that will help or refer you to an RE.

misshelen86 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess Good luck with your class today!

@creamcheeseplease Hope your able to cross lots off your to-do list. So satisfying!

@kopp5988 Glad you had a nice, relaxing weekend!

@shamrocandroll My heart sank when I saw your name here. I’m so very sorry for your loss

@marebear15 Glad you enjoyed some Target therapy! Also happy to hear YH is on board to try again.

@sorarose I think I’d probably take the 2nd temp closer to your usual time if you went back to sleep. Hope you get your temp shift soon!

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: Ava, FF, RTL, CM, HIO, cutting back on caffeine, fertility yoga

R/R: So embarrassing, but guys I had a bit too much wine last night- I almost drank an entire bottle (DH had one glass and there was still a bit left over). Usually we share a bottle but I haven’t drank much in the last 6 months. Feeling a bit better after some Tylenol, copious amounts of water and a cup of coffee. I haven’t felt so rough since my early 20’s! I think I was more upset about AF than I realized. So need to find healthier coping methods in the future instead of drinking all the wine..

CS/Q: nope

misshelen86 · February 2019

@daffodil_shoe Sorry you find yourself here again. I hope you and your OB are able to come up with a plan that works for your LP.

kiki047 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess good luck with the kiddos today!
@creamcheeseplease ooh, good idea taking advantage of the nicer weather. MF and I want to do some yoga but don't know where to go to find some good free online videos (besides wading through some of the crap on youtube).
@kopp5988 ahh your weekend sounds so lovely! I've always wanted to be a member at a winery but that sounds way too 'adult' for me

@shamrocandroll *hugs* I am so, so sorry for your loss.
@marebear15 I'm glad you and YH are on the same page with trying again this month. Target therapy is legit.
@sorarose When you use the BBT adjuster on both temps they come out within .10 of each other so I'd just pick one and put the actual temps in your notes and decide later if you want/need to discard it.
@daffodil_shoe so sorry for CD1 and that you still aren't seeing any improvement with your LP defect.

That's so frustrating.
@misshelen86 there's no shame in drinking all the wine, but sorry you're feeling so rough this morning.

Month/Cycle: 14/11

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT/RHR, CM, Vit C & D, Vit B12, Omega 3s, CoQ10, Metformin, Ovasitol, PCOS/low carb diet, no caffeine, HIO, softcups, letrozole + TI. Repeat SA this week for MF.

R/R: Rant: I'm exhausted and feeling a little weird this morning (woozy?) for no particular reason. Got in a huge fight with my mom on Saturday over my shower, so I'm feeling pretty blah about the whole thing. I knew it was going to happen which is why I sent my cousins (my BMs) in to talk to her first and she was just as unreasonable as I expected, and then some. I've never had a very good relationship with my mom so I knew this was going to be a fight. MF and I have an agreement that she will be the very last person to find out when we get KU, half because she has the biggest mouth on the planet but half just because I'm spiteful.
Raves: *TW* we had friends over Saturday with their kids and for some reason that wasn't as triggering as my nephew. I was able to hold him and interact with him without any crying. MF joked "is it because he's a white baby so he doesn't look like he could be ours?"

lmao, that's definitely not it but he succeeded in making me laugh. // and on the diet front, after struggling with his weight plateauing this weekend MF is back on track this morning and people are finally starting to notice, which is huge for him. He works at a seniors home and my great-aunt lives there. She's about 4'10" and like 80lbs so she told him this morning that when she can get her arms all the way around him then he gets a kiss and is allowed to marry me, LOL.

CS/Q: AF has finally vacated the premises so temping shall resume tomorrow.

shamrocandroll · February 2019

@kiki047 Thank you for the love.<3 Also, just wanted to say I don't miss those stressful parts of wedding planning at all! I hope the rest of the planning goes relatively smoothly for you. My mom and I almost never fight, but even we got into a knock-down toward the end of planning. It's just all so stressful! Remind me when your wedding is?

kiki047 · February 2019

@shamrocandroll July 6th! I knew the guest list was going to be the breaking point. My mom is the funniest/most maddening person to argue with because in her blind rage/panic she loses all reason and will actually end up arguing against herself and not realize it, so she was basically just proving my point and was getting so angry when I kept using it against her, lol. I knew what she was trying to say though and was having none of it.

spacemountaineer · February 2019

@emeraldduchess - good luck today!

@marebear15 - a Target shopping trip sounds fantastic!

@kopp5988 - I hope the jinxing works!

@shamrocandroll - Oh I am sorry that you had such a miserable weekend. I hope this doesn't sound insensitive, but I love the way you announced your BFP to your husband. I'm so sorry the joy was so short lived.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: temping, opks, pnv, FF

R/R: Rave- I had Super Bowl food with my IL's last night without having to watch the game (none of us are into sports). That was perfect for me. I hope we make it a tradition.

CS/Q: Nothing today.

shamrocandroll · February 2019

**General TW for loss mentioned throughout

@spacemountaineer Thanks. I really loved telling him, and I'm so upset it didn't pan out to be the happily ever after I had hoped for.

Ugh, so I have to go in for another rhogam shot before Wednesday (RH - blood type) which requires them to draw blood for AGAIN (because the blood work from 3 months ago isn't good enough for their standard procedure, apparently), and then another ultrasound to make sure everything looks in order still. I'm so tired of seeing ultrasound images of non-viable pregnancies and an empty uterus at this point. I really just wish I could somehow not have to be there for it. And of course I'm buried at work with the mountain of stuff that didn't get done while I was out last week. This is just a massive pile of suck and I'm irrationally angry and sad all at the same time, and at no one in particular.

bean1818 · February 2019

@emerald hope you had a calm day

@creamcheeseplease a run sounds nice

@kopp5988 your weekend sounds like it was great

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: clomid and opks

R/R: I actually went to the gym yesterday and I feel so much better
