Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 22

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, checking CM, PNV (thanks for reminding me to get more today!)

R/R: Rant, a lot of administrative stuff I have to do today. Rave, today is the day my office mate works from home so I have the place to myself. I really like her but sometimes its nice to just be by myself.

CS/Q: No, just a parade of negative opks to see here...

kopp5988 · February 2019

@creamcheeseplease good luck with the admin stuff today and sorry about all the negative OPKs, FX you get a positive soon

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD: 10

R/R: I’ve got so many submittals at work for the projects I manage that need to go into permitting agencies all at the same time my head is going to explode! Rave- it’s hump day!

CS/Q: so far looking much steadier than last month pre-O. Other than CD1 and 2 all my temps are within 0.25 of a degree, and I will take it!

sorarose · February 2019

@creamcheeseplease Sorry about your negative OPKs. I certainly know how frustrating that is!

@kopp5988 Yay for hump day! Almost there!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 24

WAYDTGKU: All the things

R/R: I hate this cycle. I feel strongly that I O'ed a couple days ago, but between sporadic temping and me not checking the OPK until after 3 minutes (so I have to retest this afternoon), it looks like I'm having perhaps another LH surge after 3 days in a row of positive OPKs and then a negative day. Hopeful for crosshairs tomorrow, but I'm wary.

CS/Q: Should I stick with the Wondfos or get a digital OPK for next cycle?

Edit: Ranting causes typos.

creamcheeseplease · February 2019

@sorarose I was also considering getting a digital for next cycle. I'm cheap though and still have a ton of cheapie opks so I will probably wait until I am out of those before buying a digital. I'm sorry you're having a confusing cycle this go around!

@kopp5988 sorry for all the work you have going on right now! I hope today is a productive day for you.

emeraldduchess · February 2019

@creamcheeseplease enjoy the quiet office! Totally get the frustration about the negative OPK parade.
@kopp5988 yay for Hump Day! 🐪
@sorarose I sometimes have a long surge, too and it's really annoying. FX you get crosshairs soon!

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

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, HIO, SMEP(ish), red raspberry leaf tea, cutting back on alcohol and cutting it out after O. Might change my mind though because I may want a drink when we go out to celebrate Valentine's Day.

R/R: Yesterday was World Nutella Day and I missed it. That would have been the perfect excuse to just buy a jar and eat it with a spoon.

CS/Q: Nope, we're good. This is a relatively stable chart, which is unusual for me!
Edit to put chart in spoiler

kiki047 · February 2019

@creamcheeseplease my office mate is super quiet, I hardly know she's here, but for some reason I also work better when she's off (she only works 4 days a week). Hope the quiet day means you get lots done!
@kopp5988 Your chart is looking so pretty and steady! // I just choked on my tea at 'today is hump day!'. Isn't everyday Hump Day around WTO?

I am going to send MF a text now. "You know what day it is? HUMP DAY."

@sorarose Your rant reminds me why I stopped using OPKs. So frustrating. Sorry you're having a confusing cycle.
@emeraldduchess I might be in the minority when I admit I don't like nutella. Bleh. And from yesterday, what's your plan to use your new yarn? Do you always buy it with a project in mind or do you buy it for the colour then decide after?

Month/Cycle: 14/11

CD: 8

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

R/R: I feel like all of my R/Rs are both Rants and Raves this morning. My original rant was that I didn't want to have to go to the clinic today because I have O'd on CD20 two cycles in a row, meaning I thought I'd still have a ways to go before I O and my RE initially said I could just go for mid-cycle monitoring so it would be less stressful. But they made me go in this morning anyway, in the horrible, terrible freezing rain, and it took me 2x as long as it usually does to get there... but I'm glad I went because my left follie is already measuring 18mm (and I released at 23mm last cycle). Also, I caved and got McDonald's for dinner last night but I felt so guilty about it the whole time, then I lied to MF about it and got a stomach ache, so overall it was just a bad idea lol.

CS/Q: Nah, I won't bore you with my two lonely dots today.

creamcheeseplease · February 2019

@emeraldduchess you could totally observe world Nutella day a day late, lol. Yum!

@kiki047 I secretly got McDonalds for lunch last week and didn’t tell MH and I felt so disgusting afterwards. However, I really enjoyed it at the time. Ha. Glad the monitoring appointment showed a good follie!

sorarose · February 2019

@kiki047 I didn't think I liked nutella either until I was introduced to nutella pudding on a cruise. GAMECHANGER.

misshelen86 · February 2019

@creamcheeseplease Glad you have the place to yourself. Hope you get that +OPK very soon.. c’mon ovaries!

@kopp5988 Nice steady temps! Sounds like your day should fly by!

@sorarose Sorry about the confusing cycle. I don’t always have a clear O either. Keep HIO!

@emeraldduchess You can still celebrate Nutella day the next day

@kiki047 That’s awesome your follie is so big already. I secretly get fast food sometimes too and always feel like crap after but it’s so good at the time!

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: Ava, FF, HIO/modified SMEP, CM, RLT, fertility yoga, decreased caffeine

R/R: Rant: We got more snow last night. Rave: I have an excuse to stay inside and relax.. Planning to also do a bit of decluttering today.

CS/Q: nope

kiki047 · February 2019

@creamcheeseplease I think I have McD's like 4-6 times a year, or sometimes I just go and get an ice cream cone and small fries, but this'll be twice in a week. I think I'd feel less guilty if I didn't lie about it haha. But yes, @misshelen86 it was definitely really worth it as I was stuffing my face in the car.
@sorarose nutella pudding?! Now that's another story. I think maybe it's the texture I don't like, cuz I dislike peanut butter for the same reason. So nutella in another form that isn't so... pasty (?) sounds appealing. Why is the food on cruises SO MUCH BETTER than IRL?

One of the best meals I've ever eaten was on our cruise. I still dream about it.

sorarose · February 2019

@kiki047 It was part cake, part mousse consistency. Seriously, I still dream about it.

emeraldduchess · February 2019

@kiki047 and @sorarose what cruises have you been on with such good food? The two I've been on the food wasn't really anything special (not bad). Maybe I'm just a picky eater and didn't appreciate it.

@kiki047 the yarn I bought was for a specific project to give as a gift. I usually buy yarn with a project in mind, but sometimes if I see something in a color that I think a friend would like, I'll buy it and THEN make a scarf or something out of it. I am pretty much limited to scarves, blankets, simple hats and prayer shawls. Nothing too elaborate but it keeps me occupied and is a great hobby when you want to give a special gift.

kiki047 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess Royal Caribbean! The Allure of the Seas. Best. Food. Ever. // scarves and hats and blankets are totally legit!! Master that and you’re set!

sorarose · February 2019

@emeraldduchess @kiki047 I haven't done Allure, but have been on 5 other Royal ships. Food is comparable on all of them. Something for everyone, in my experience.

emeraldduchess · February 2019

I've only ever cruised on Norwegian. Once when I was a kid and then 10 years ago for a friend's wedding, so I didn't have a choice in destination or cruiseline. I didn't love cruising but I think if I were to do it again, I'd cruise the British Isles or the Mediterranean.
