Month/Cycle: 7/6 (benched for one cycle AL)

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, HIO, SMEP(ish), red raspberry leaf tea, cutting down on alcohol.

R/R: I forgot to collect my students' writing portfolios yesterday, so it looks like I am in for an insane amount of editing and correcting next week. 😱 The silver lining there is that we have a break coming up so I can catch my breath!

CS/Q: My temp went back up this morning, so I think O might be today. OPKs were negative yesterday but I had EWCM last night, so I am relying more on my body than those strips. I told DH that we will be HIO all weekend and until I can confirm O. He is totally on board. Haha!

WAYDTGKU:
OPK CM PNV

R/R: it is sooooo cold out again! Just waiting for DH to get up from sleeping (he worked last night) so we can go to target!

CS/Q: Got a positive OPK this morning. So.. we’ll see!

@emeraldduchess haha glad DH is willing to rock out the HIO marathon 😆 what a champ.

b_1029 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess sounds stressful about the portfolios! Enjoy all the HIO stress relief this weekend!

@creamcheeseplease ahhh have fun at target! The best.

Month/Cycle: 16/17

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: haven’t decided this time around. Maybe nothing?

R/R: lazy Saturday over here which is always nice after a long week! Not much else to report other than AF is kicking my butt with probably the worst cramps I’ve ever had. Thanks for rubbing it in 🙄

CS/Q: nope

emeraldduchess · February 2019

@creamcheeseplease YAY for a +OPK! Have fun at Target! I hope you find some good stuff.

@b_1029 sorry AF is being such a witch. I hope those cramps go away ASAP.

My OPK was a blazing positive this morning. I haven't seen a line that dark in a while, so hooray!

kopp5988 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess glad your husband is on board for your HIO marathon, I’m thinking I’ll ovulate tomorrow or Monday so we’re in the same boat. And yay for a “blazing” OPK, get down to business!

@creamcheeseplease hope you enjoyed your target run

@b_1029 enjoy your lazy weekend and I hope AF cramps subside soon

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD: 13

R/R: had a wonderful lazy Friday night complete with chicken tenders, tater tots, a movie and wine. Spending today at the winery and then probably doing pizza and a movie. Can it always be the weekend please?

CD/Q: had a big temp spike this morning which I’m assuming is due to the mass quantity of wine consumed last night, may have to disregard it in FF if it screws up my crosshairs this month

kagesstarshroom · February 2019

@kopp5988 Enjoy the day at the winery! Is there any type of wine you like in particular? I find wineries generally peaceful.
@emeraldduchess Hooray for your blazing OPK! Have fun HIO! ^_~*
@creamcheeseplease We are having a cold couple days down here too, but I feel like I can't complain because it was such a beautiful week. Hope it gets warm for you, soon.
@b_1029 ugh so sorry AF is rubbing it in. the worst.

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: benched, so just PNV

R/R: in on & off pain following yesterday's surgery & generally confused about how this cycle might be different than any previous ones / DH bought me flowers, miso soup, & macrons & insisted he be at my beck & call yesterday-- the dogs have been really sweet to me too. also, everyone at the hospital was super nice. i am rewatching most of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina because i need to do something easy while i am recovering & i am going to be on a podcast tomorrow where we talk about it! Hopefully I won't have to be too hopped up on pain meds.

CS/Q: tw: loss

Any advice on when to start temping again? I am on two weeks of pelvic rest. I am not bleeding much, but in a lot of on & off pain. Even though we are benched/this won't be a "normal" cycle, I still want to give FF as much info as possible? But not if doing so doesn't make sense. Any advice for post mmc/d&c charting/being benched would be appreciated. I am going to check out what TCOYF says, too.

kopp5988 · February 2019

@kagesstarshroom hope you recover from surgery quickly! I really like all wines except for super oaky Chardonnay but my preference is dry reds. The winery we went to had a lovely mountain view so it was very relaxing. I don’t have much advice on when to temp again but I wouldn’t go out of my way to if I were you, just take some time for recovery

emeraldduchess · February 2019

@kagesstarshroom I hope you're healing well and I'm glad your DH is being so good to you.

kiki047 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess that sucks about the marking, but yay for O! I love it when it falls on a weekend, lol.
@creamcheeseplease have fun at Target! This Canadian is super jealous.
@b_1029 ugh, AF. It's bad enough she's an unwelcome visitor, does she have to be such a bitch about it too? Sorry, friend.
@kopp5988 Oh man, this gal who doesn't eat carbs at home is salivating at your weekend menu. Also, wine. I was all excited to finish off the bottle of prosecco in the fridge tonight and was so bummed to discover there was probably only an ounce left in the bottom of the bottle, lol. I just poured it in my OJ instead.
@kagesstarshroom *hugs* I'm sorry, I have no insights on your questions but sending you lots of love as you recover from the surgery and begin the healing process. That's really amazing about the podcast though, I have so much admiration for you for being open and able to talk about it. How did that come about?

Month/Cycle: 14/11

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: I have my list saved on my work comp so I really don't feel like typing this out today. The long and short of it is vitamins + metformin + ovasitol + letrozole

R/R: I'm pretty sure I just O'd an hour ago, the mittelschmertz was awful and I've been crampy all afternoon, but am now in bed with a heating pad and feel completely fine, maybe a little achy. Feeling good about our timing this month, and like hella impressed that my body decided to O 9 days earlier than normal. Follie measured at 25mm this morning. Booyah! Got a BD in this afternoon and aiming for a +1 tomorrow (nothing turns me on more than when MF drags me off the couch saying, "let's go upstairs and make a baby" followed by "careful love, gotta protect your baby oven" when I was walking on the ice this evening

not that I've ever doubted how much he wants it too but he's not vocal about it on purpose, to protect my heart)

CS/Q: huge temp drop this morning, usually happens right before O.

@kagesstarshroom, being in your position, I would temp right away. After my mmc at 14 weeks, I ovulated a few weeks after my d&c. Which was nice to know my cycle regulated quickly. After my CP, I had a normal cycle immediately too. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case for a lot of women.

kagesstarshroom · February 2019

general tw that these replies discuss loss/es

@kiki047 my sentence did make it seem like the podcast was about my loss, i see in retrospect, but it is in fact about Sabrina.

one of the characters on the show had had losses tho, and i thought about maybe bringing that up as something good the show does (even tho she is a witch not a "mortal," it still helps to normalize a fairly common-but-devastating thing ppl who are txt might go thru. thanks for yr kind words & support. / ah, the wonders of a heating pad! YF sounds very sweet.

@holly321 thanks for the advice! after my CP, my cycle seemed fairly normal, (but I didn't know about temping/charting until partway thru that cycle, so I am basing that on just numbers from tracking AF more than anything else.) I *enjoy* keeping track of things, so i might start again sooner if possible/ as long as it is not a BAD idea, if that makes sense. I am glad that both times you were able to find some comfort in your cycle returning to normal fairly fast.

@kopp5988 The winery experience sounds super chill. We don't have mountains down here, so it also sounds lovely--I am not big on wine, but I always like a shiraz, if i had to choose. I am definitely going to take some time for R&R, for sure.

holly321 · February 2019

@kagesstarshroom, I can see how temping when benched can be hard/bad for some women, but it made me feel like I was doing something. Plus, I have a hard time getting in to the habit, so it helped me be regular for once it counted.

kiki047 · February 2019

@kagesstarshroom oohhhh lol I totally misinterpreted that. Still have mad respect for you, I’d be hiding under the covers.

kbrown2385 · February 2019

Lurking**

@kagesstarshroom *Tw I’ll put in spoiler*

I’m so sorry for your loss and hope you’re recovering ok from the d&c. My cycles after d&c’s as well as natural miscarriages have always been a little longer. The latest one in September went 35 days from when I began bleeding. My cycles went back to normal after that. I did start temping during that time and it helped me get used to it while I was benched. Hope that was able to help with your questions! Also, I’ve been meaning to watch Sabrina! I’ll have to check it out soon.

misshelen86 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess Sorry you have a pile of work waiting for you but glad you get a break soon. Sounds like you really need it! FX that O happens soon!

@creamcheeseplease Woohoo for positive OPK! Hope you have fun at Target.

@b_1029 Sorry for CD2.

Hope you get some relief from the cramps.

@kopp5988 Yummy food and wine? Sounds like the perfect weekend!

@kagesstarshroom Sorry to see you back here friend

Sending you huge hugs. Glad your DH is taking such good care of you.

@kiki047 Yay for an earlier O! Hope the cramps subside soon.

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: Ava, FF, SMEPish/HIO, RLT, CM, fertility yoga, cutting back on caffeine

R/R: I came down with DH’s man cold so it’s been a very lazy weekend. I rarely get sick, but when I do it always seems to hit me really hard. Hopefully I get over this soon so we can get on with HIO!

CS/Q: nope

NYTino24 · February 2019

@kagesstarshroom *TW loss* I had a NMC that took 9 days and started temping the morning after I knew for sure it was a MC. We were benched that cycle, but I too, wanted as much info as possible. It was also nice to know when to expect AF again, as I’m usually irregular and temping gives me a lot of info. */TW*

@misshelen86 Hope you feel better soon!

@kiki047 I hope that big ol follie is a good one!!

@kopp5988 Are you going OPKs and checking CM? That can help if temps aren’t reliable.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPK, prenatal, Vitex, Maca, Vitamin D, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin B6, magnesium, selenium, SMEP, pineapple after O

R/R: My LP was longer than last cycle, but only 10 days. Gonna bust my butt to try to lengthen it, but I am already taking most vitamins and supplements recommended. Hopefully adding back B complex and B6 helps. I turn 36 this cycle and I’m not messing around!

CS/Q: not yet, the cramps are terrible this time!!

emeraldduchess · February 2019

@misshelen86 sorry you caught your H's cold.

Feel better soon!

@NYTino24 glad your LP was longer!

@kiki047 yahoo for a big follicle and early O!

kopp5988 · February 2019

@kiki047 hope you get a temp confirmation soon! And yes soooo much carbs and dairy was consumed this weekend

@NYTino24 yes I’ve been using OPK and checking CM though I haven’t had a lot the past few cycles unfortunately

b_1029 · February 2019

sorry to revive this thread, just wanted to apologize for never replying to anyone! I was on mobile all weekend which only lets me love tit 50% of the time and forget trying to tag people. Hope you all had a great weekend
