emeraldduchess · March 2019

Good morning, WTO!

Month/Cycle: 8/7(second cycle AL)

CD: 13

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

R/R: DH and I are both coming down with colds right now. Boo to that. We're going to power through though because FW is right around the corner. I finally figured out how to post gifs on here! Drivebys are going to get hit with some Downton Abbey eye-rolls and Dowager Countess looks of disapproval.

CS/Q: Eh, not really. My cold might mess with my temps so that's going to be fun.

jennifer_louise · March 2019

Month/cycle: 9/10

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: PNV, B6, B complex, EPO, BBT, OPKs, no 🍺 or ☕ and so far killing it at SMEP!

R/R: I know I've been complaining about work a lot on here, but that's my R again. I was at work til 6 last night which was annoying because I'm only paid until 3:30. Rave: H had dinner ready when I got home!💜

CS/Q: got a smiley! MH and I always way overanalyze my chart before we HIO which I feel is not normal but there you have it.

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@jennifer_louise yay for a smiley OPK! Don't feel bad ranting about work, I think that's 99% of what most of us rant about.

jennifer_louise · March 2019

Oh @emeraldduchess I was so proud that I had posted before you this morning only to find that you snuck in there again! Hope you guys feel better soon. I, for one, look forward to more last century British snark.

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess ugh colds are the worst! Hope
you get over it quickly! The Dowager Countess is my fav. I can’t wait for the gifs haha.

@jennifer_louise I’d be pissed about staying that late at work too. Nice of dh to have dinner ready for you!

Month/Cycle: 28/1 AL

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R: it’s been quite the week so far! Wednesday’s are usually so busy and I’m glad it slows a little towards the end. However my asshole cat feels the need to wake the whole house up early for no reason every time it’s too quiet for him. He’s lucky I have a soft spot for animals 😑.

CS/Q: I think I o’d yesterday but I’ll give it a few to make sure.

daffodil_shoe · March 2019

@emeraldduchess ugh we have colds too! I’m in the prodromal stage for now. Hope you feel better soon!

@jennifer_louise yay for dinner! That’s always great to come home too.

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: I think we are going to forgo a medicated cycle this month. I just need a break from the pressure of having good timing so as not to waste expensive medicine. So just temping, and sex when we feel like it.

R/R: Working swing shift this week, hope I can stay awake at work tonight.

CS/Q: no

millpe · March 2019

@emeraldduchess I hope your colds both taper off before they get bad!

@jennifer_louise when you have to stay late at work do you get flexibility to leave early or get some of that time back other days?

@kbrown2385 when my dogs wake me up in the middle of the night or early in the morning, I am irate. They get to snooze all day, they better at least let me sleep at night.

@daffodil_shoe I hope taking a cycle off from being medicated helps you re-focus. It can be so draining to get everything "perfect" every month.

EmilyLove25 · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: OPKs (and I seriously need to get CB Digital so I can pair it with my Wondfo until I figure out my body, but I don’t have time to get to the store), DTD EOD when DH is in town and I am within range of possible ovulation… I hope), Charting with Fertility Friend (will upgrade after I have two normal cycles), prenatals etc. I need to do more!

R/R: I have had crap thrown at me at work every day and do not have enough time to Bump. I love the TTC group and want to read EVERYTHING! I need more Bump time. I think I might need to download the app on my phone and figure that out.

CS/Q: This is the first time I’ve seen people including Resting Heart Rate. I need to read up on the why!

WTH can I not tag! I am sure this isn't working. Ugh. I need to get tech-savvy!

@emeraldduchess Boo to the cold!

@jennifer_louise OMG that would enrage me too if I was only paid until 3:30. Boo! But yay for a smiley!

millpe · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: pnv, opk, ff, sex eod

R/R: Its my Friday! I'm so happy, even though I still need to get through today. I am starting to feel exhausted and just really run down. I'm not sure if I'm fighting something, or just my sleep has been that awful. Or maybe a little of both combined with my uber stressful work week? Hoping I can recharge this weekend. Also, this cycle is shaping up to be one of the latest I have ever O'd (since I've been tracking at least). I guess stress well do that!

CS/Q: nope

madcouplewithabox · March 2019

@millpe it’s my Friday too! Soooo ready for it. FX for O soon.

@EmilyLove25 yay you’re back!! Yes, download the bump app. It’s the only reason I’m able to be on here:)

@jennifer_louise WTH, that sucks to stay so late. My Tuesday’s are normally like that, never leave when I’m supposed to.

@kbrown2385 One of my cats it’s this way about food. If you sleep past when he thinks he should be fed he starts knocking crap off the counters and chewing on things like lamp shades and edges of the desk.

Month/Cycle: 4

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: Benched... PNV, Maca, fertiliTEA, OvuSense temping, DH on supplements, OPKs.

R/R: rave..I got a positive opk... rant, can’t do a damn thing about it.
Also, I though I had ordered some through amazon and had checked to see delivery status.. couldn’t find my order anywhere. I must have been loopy tired when I tried lol. Anyways, picked some up from CVS and the woman said “good luck” as she rang me out.

CS/Q: My chart is so ugly right now.

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@millpe it really makes for a shitty day when he does it. To make it even worse he only does it when dh has to work that night. He legit hates me.

@madcouplewithabox we had to get him an automatic feeder for the morning because he was such a jerk about being fed at the lovely time of 5am 😑.

lcking82 · March 2019

@madcouplewithabox: My cat used to eat my lampshades, too! I though it was so strange -- I still have a couple of lampshades with tiny little teeth holes all around the bottom (kitty is sadly no longer with us).

and @kbrown2385: I adore cat's too, and partly because of their IDGAF attitudes, but...agree - they are little buttheads when they decide you need to be awake!

daffodil_shoe · March 2019

@madcouplewithabox I once had a lady at the cash register say “good luck either way!” I thought that was funny and sweet, and thoughtful as well to acknowledge that not everyone taking a test wants to be KU.

kiki047 · March 2019

Good morning ladies. I'm back, kinda. I've been lurking a little (but admittedly not so much in the dailies, mostly just the randoms).

@emeraldduchess boo to your colds! Hope they go away soon. High five on the GIFing. Those Peggys aren't going to know what hit them, and I love it.
@jennifer_louise yeah girl, major props to your SMEPpin! I feel like our A++ timing last month has just set us up for disappointment this month when we don't come anywhere close to that kinda timing. AF took her sweet time clearing out this month so I feel like she's already screwed us over this cycle.
@kbrown2385 cats are so annoying, they sleep like 23 hours a day, why must they choose 6am to suddenly decide they're hungry and must be fed that very minute? Our tabby runs like a herd of elephants and likes to do sprints either just as we are falling asleep or first thing in the morning.

@daffodil_shoe Good idea! I'm semi regretting doing a medicated cycle this month because it feels like I'm going to waste it, and I'm already stressing about that. I hope that helps you!!
@EmilyLove25 FYI, TB app suuuuucks, if you want to mobile bump I'd recommend just using the browser on your phone. And re: RHR, in theory it should follow a similar pattern to your BBT - it will be elevated after O and remain elevated if you're KU or drop before/during AF.
@millpe Congrats on today being your Friday! Hope you can get some rest this weekend. O can definitely be delayed because of stress.

Month/Cycle: 15/12

CD: 9

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: Rant: I guess I wasn't clear enough last night because we didn't end up HIO and I had a minor meltdown this morning but I think we figured it out and have a plan moving forward. Dunno why I'm such a wreck today, I usually get all my crying out between CD1-3 but AF took her sweet ass time this month. I had some heavy spotting for about 3 days, which I counted as light flow, but then day 3 it finally turned from brown to red, then went back to brown spotting for another 2-3 days, before getting really heavy for 2-3 days, making the whole ordeal like 8-9 days long. I changed the first 2 days to spotting and now everything looks more in line with where it "should" be.
Rave: I'm struggling with this one today. Umm... my aunt is flying in from out of town this weekend and staying for 2 weeks for our engagement party next weekend. Looking forward to spending some time with her. I'm also looking forward to the party but not as much as I should be, and I'm feeling guilty about that.

CS/Q: No questions today. Just hoping today's temp spike was because of the hot flashes from the letrozole and not stupidly early O. I usually get a much bigger temp spike than that.

misshelen86 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess Colds are bad enough, but during FW is even worse. GL powering through!

@jennifer_louise Yay SMEP it up! That’s annoying you had to stay so late at work.

@kbrown2385 Sorry about the early morning awakenings. But yay for possible O!

@daffodil_shoe Sorry for CD1. Hope work isn’t too busy!

@EmilyLove25 RHR starts to rise when you’re body is getting ready to O then stays elevated until just before AF (unless you are KU). My RHR tends to be about the same when I O.

@millpe Hope you are able to find a way to unwind from the stress of the week.

@madcouplewithabox So weird you couldn’t find your order. Maybe you just dreamed it? Lol

@kiki047 Welcome back! Enjoy spending some time with your aunt and your engagement party. Try not to feel guilty about how you’re feeling. You can’t help how you feel, but I do hope you are able to have some fun at your party!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: Ava, FF, OPK, CM, SMEPish, RLT, fertility yoga

R/R: Need to get out and do some shopping today for DH’s birthday. Unfortunately, there was a mix-up with my credit card. I called the bank and asked them to issue me a new one with my married name. They interpreted that as me asking them to close my account. Wtf! So now we are trying to sort out if the error was on their part or mine. So frustrating.

CS/Q: nope

daffodil_shoe · March 2019

@misshelen86 wow that is frustrating!! How would they interpret that as closing your account? Ridiculous.

snowgirl8 · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 7/5

CD:14 WAYDTGKU: vitamins, OPK, app tracking, sex eod at least, fertility diet

R/R: I’ve been looking for a new job since last Nov because my current I’m very unappreciated & under paid for what I bring in to the company (Insurance sales) I can make more working at MCDs. Today hit the tip of the ice berg and if I didn’t have bills I would have walked the f out and not came back. My gran, papa, & dad all have surgeries in the next 2 weeks and I would rather be spending time with them than working. Trying to limit stress but ya know life just stinks some days.

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@kbrown2385 the Dowager Countess has some of the best zingers on that show. I hope I can be half that sassy in my old age. Hope your kitty stops being a jerkface soon.
@daffodil_shoe sorry about CD1.

@EmilyLove25 I definitely feel like the threads get supet busy when I don't have time to read and respond. That and most of the drivebys get shut down before I have a chance to respond!
@millpe happy Friday to you!
@madcouplewithabox comments from the people at checkout is exactly why I do self-checkout or order online. 🤣
@kiki047 welcome back, lady! Sorry Af was such a witch this cycle. She does that to me sometimes too. Have a wonderful time with your visiting aunt!
@misshelen86 good luck shopping for your DH's birthday! Hope you find the perfect gift.

ejoseph16 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess I can’t wait to figure that out and join you! Downton abbey eye rolls are fabulous!

@jennifer_louise yeah smiley! HIO time!

@millpe I feel you on the late O. Day 21... ugh. But hooray for an early Friday! I’m jealous!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 21

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, sex EOD, prenatal, supplements, etc.

R/R: FINALLY got my peak reading from my OPK! I have never been more excited to see a solid smiley face! MH and I were so excited we went for a quickie before work. Failure to launch. Ugh. MH got too in his head about this being peak time. *face palm* we had to have the talk that I’m still going to be peak this afternoon. Let’s hope for some good HIO tonight!

CS/Q:

binkiesandbiceps · March 2019

Month/Cycle: Unofficially 1

CD: Welpp...my app took my ovulation date away...so I'm not sure anymore.

I think my body is being weird, so I'm kind of in limbo until my period comes back.

WAYDTGKU: PCOS diet, exercise, RLT, charting?

R/R: I'm kind of confused and annoyed by my cycle right now. I thought I had ovulated, but my temps suddenly went up after I had a cyst pop last week. I'm pretty sure the cyst popping was ovulation. So...yay PCOS. I'm here indefinitely until my body gets the freaking memo. I tried asking my OB for help, but the whole staff kind of blew me off, so I'm excited to say that I have an appointment on March 19th to see about any possible support or ideas on what I can do to get the ball rolling.

CS/Q: Nothing yet. I don't have a full cycle of temping, so I'm hoping that the next few weeks will answer some questions.
