Re: WTO Fri-YAY! 2/8
Month/Cycle: 7/6 (benched for one cycle AL)
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, HIO, SMEP(ish), red raspberry leaf tea, cutting down on alcohol.
R/R: I got nothin' this morning. I guess that's good that nothing is annoying me!
CS/Q: Holy temp-drop, Batman! In the past the sharp temp drops happened right before O, so hopefully this is a good sign. OPKs have been negative so far but maybe I will be surprised today.
CD: 24
WAYDTGKU: OPK, PNV, CM tracking
R/R: what up kids its friday friday! So excited. Nothing really planned for the weekend except a TARGET TRIP! And, DH wants to grill honey bourbon steak tips on Sunday so that should be yummy.
CS/Q: Maybe a little tmi, but I'm finally starting to get some promising cm. OPKs still negative though. DH is not off until Sunday so we'll see what happens. I'll take a few OPKs today and see.
@emeraldduchess FX that you are on the way to O!
@emeraldduchess definitely doing the Friday dance over here and FX for you that O is coming soon!
@creamcheeseplease hope you get that positive OPK soon! And target is the best!
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD: 12
R/R: MH and I decided to join the winery we like and our first pickup will be this weekend. You get to taste the wines in the package for free and they pair them with cheese! So excited
CS/Q: had a bit of a drop today which usually happens a couple days before O and continues until O. Still negative OPK last night, but since I O’ed on CD 14 last month we’ve assumed my FW has started and started BD last night
@creamcheeseplease - Target run sounds amazing. I bought myself something last Saturday, but after this week, I might need another Target visit.
Month/Cycle: 10/9 (1 AL)
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, PNV, baby aspirin, methylfolate, B6, B-complex, no caffeine or alcohol, HIO
R/R: Oh my word this week has been so long! I'm just so glad that it's over.
Also, why is the WTO thread so slow?
CS/Q:
@creamcheeseplease yes wine and cheese is the best, we were members at a different winery up until about a year ago but it was more expensive and farther away after we moved. This one has better perks and is closer so double win!
@b_1029 - Ugh, I hate seeing people move back over. But hi!
@creamcheeseplease omg Target & those honey bourbon steak tips sound amazing. I get embarrassingly excited for some good CM too, lol.
@kopp5988 yesss so glad you decided to sign up with the winery after all! You'll have to report back, sounds awesome.
@marebear15 ok, I don't exactly know what that is but if it is what it sounds like... ouch. You're a good wife for being his caregiver through that. Also, to build on my comment from yesterday, you still HIO on Wednesday?! lol How?!
@b_1029 massive hugs for you, sorry you're back here with us
Month/Cycle: 14/11
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT/RHR, CM, Vit C & D, Vit B12, Omega 3s, CoQ10, Metformin, Ovasitol, PCOS/low carb diet, no caffeine, HIO EOD, softcups, letrozole + TI
R/R: Rant: Fridays are my longest day because I have a class at 7 so I wait around at the office until then instead of going home at my normal time (5pm). This day just feels like it's dragging and I'm tired and cranky.
Rave: Jam packed weekend coming up and I'm excited to have friends over tmr and going to the golf show on Sunday, but I'm already tired just thinking about it. I was really looking forward to sleeping in but now I have to be at the clinic at 8:30 tomorrow.
CS/Q: I'm surprised and disappointed I don't have much CM and my lining is still only at 6mm even though my follie is now measuring 21mm. I had to explain the difference between CM and arousal fluid to MF the other night, while giving him a lesson on what softcups were for/how they work. He was genuinely interested, and now he seductively asks me if I have "the cup" as we're getting ready for bed
