Month/Cycle: 4

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: Benched...OvuSense Temping, fertiliTEA, opks, PNV”, Maca, supplement for DH,

R/R: just waiting on O. Temp was higher this morning so I Think I’m just waiting on verification now. Rant: It’s my day off and I’ve woken up at freaking 5am. Boooo.

CS/Q: eh. Ugly chart

emeraldduchess · March 2019

Good morning, ladies! Happy Friday!!

@madcouplewithabox I hope you can enjoy your day off despite waking up so early!

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

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, HIO, OPKs, attempted SMEP but failing at that (stupid colds), red raspberry leaf tea, cutting down on alcohol (but going to enjoy some wine tonight)

R/R: We did a cooking activity with my fifth graders yesterday. They decided to contour their faces with the flour. I was less than thrilled. In other news, DH wasn't feeling well enough to HIO last night, so we failed at SMEPin'.

CS/Q: I had a temp rise this morning but I REALLY hope it's because of my cold and not because of O. I will be pissed if it is.

I had a near-positive OPK yesterday, but I haven't had any fertile CM. I usually O between CD16 and CD20, so this would be super early for me and our timing would be less than ideal.

Edits: Spelling, add chart

jennifer_louise · March 2019

@madcouplewithabox happy Friday! I hear you on early wakeups. Apparently this week I don't get to sleep in past 430. Hopefully we both get some rest this weekend!

@emeraldduchess lol I'm so happy you figured out gifs. This is the start of something beautiful. I hope you didn't O yet, and can HIO lots this weekend!

Month/cycle: 9/10

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: PNV, B6, B complex, DHA, no caffeine or booze, SMEP, etc, lots of other things I'm probably forgetting.

R/R: I finally have a rave today: we had lovely sunshine yesterday and lots of snow melted. I hope there's more weather like that on the way! Also, I had three salads this week! Lots of raves today, hope that continues.

CS/Q: Temp is up this am which I think means O yesterday. I will hang out here today to see if CM & tomorrow's temp confirm my suspicion.

ejoseph16 · March 2019

@madcouplewithabox boo to waking up early! Take a nap later!

@emeraldduchess I love that gif lol. I feel you on the husband not feeling good about HIO. MH actually looked at me last night and was like “ok, I need a break”

@jennifer_louise glad you’re finally getting some sunshine! Come on, spring!

Month/Cycle: 2

CD: 22

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

R/R: I just read my teaching evaluation for my second observation... should have saved that I guess. Lol.

CS/Q: I’m fairly certain I will O today. Temp went up, peak OPK. we will see.

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@ejoseph16 my DH's reaction after I confirm O is always "Oh thank God. I we need a break." FX for O today!
@jennifer_louise hooray for healthy eating AND snow melting! High five on your timing, too!

jennifer_louise · March 2019

@ejoseph16 see you over in TWW!!

@emeraldduchess thanks, friend. It's not as awesome as our HIO champs (side eyes at @marebear15 and @begging4abump) but still admirable. I must have missed your comment about cooking with fifth graders yesterday - lol. I'm sure your daily R/R could be weird/crazy things that fifth graders do.

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@jennifer_louise I could write an entire book about weird things my students do and say!

kiki047 · March 2019

@madcouplewithabox I guess I should be thankful my body has no internal alarm so if I don't set one I'll just sleep forever lol. Sorry your day off started so early - hopefully that means it'll be a productive one?
@emeraldduchess yessss, loving the GIFs lol. Laughing and cringing at your cooking/flour story. I feel like I'm going to be that super controlling OCD mom who won't let their kids "help" in the kitchen cuz I can't stand messes, haha. // Sorry your colds are getting in the way of your SMEPpin. If it makes you feel any better, we're failing too, and have no real excuse for it. I tell myself I'm going with the flow, but let's be honest, I have zero chill. I cried about it the other night lol.
@jennifer_louise Yay sunshine! Yay salad! ... well, yay for healthy choices, bleh salad

Gold star for your timing this cycle! I try not to compare myself to @marebear15 or @begging4abump because MF would die before we ever completed a streak like that. Last month was pretty good for us and I was kinda starting to believe maybe he was just really getting into the sexytimes and it would re-kindle our romance but after O, nada. lol so there goes that theory. I am happy I didn't have to try too hard during my FW though.
@ejoseph16 FX for O! Your timing is great, you've covered all your bases.

Month/Cycle: 15/12

CD: 10

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 think I might O super early this cycle. I'm used to CD20, but it's looking like CD11 or 12 now.
Rave: It's Friday! And it's sunny and supposed to go above the freezing mark this weekend. And MF has started maintenance on his diet so that means he gets to start re-introducing a little bit of fat back into his diet in the form of a tbsp of butter or oil, or 1/2 an avocado. We've been cooking with NO oil for the last 7 weeks and let me tell you, it's harder than it seems (and SO BORING). I never thought I'd be so happy to be able to make a salad dressing with a bit of oil, or to saute or roast something with the potential for it to actually maybe get a little crispy! Using water or chicken stock results in everything being kinda poached or boiled and BLEHHHH. He's doing soooo great though, he's down 35.5lbs in 7 weeks. I cannot friggin wait til this is over lol.

CS/Q: Got my slight rise and then subsequent drop, so O is imminent based on previous patterns.

millpe · March 2019

@madcouplewithabox I hate when I wake up early on my days off!

@emeraldduchess you must have so much patience with your job. And just, why? 5th graders are so weird.

@jennifer_louise I want sunshine! But instead we are getting another winter storm

@ejoseph16 was it a good evaluation or one you'd rather not read at all?

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: just the basics - pnv, opk, sex

R/R: It's my day off! And after initially getting up at 6:30, I went back to bed around 8. It's now 9:30 and I'm still in bed. We also actually have plans tonight which rarely happens! Now if only the impending snow storm could turn to a heat wave, it might be the perfect weekend.

CS/Q: nothing to see. Still waiting for my peak, but I've had fertile CM.

misshelen86 · March 2019

@madcouplewithabox Enjoy your day off!

@emeraldduchess FX O holds off a few more days so you two can back to SMEPpin’.

@jennifer_louise Oh wonderful sunshine! Can’t wait to have nicer weather. And yay for healthy eating.

@ejoseph Usually temp rise happens after O. If your temp stays up for the next few days, it’s likely you O’d (on CD 21). I’d keep HIO just in case it hasn’t happened yet though!

@kiki047 Huge congrats to YH! That’s amazing progress! Nice that he can start re-introducing some foods now.

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 7

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

R/R: Got some video game-related things yesterday for DH’s birthday. So now I’ll just pick up some clothes and I’ll be set. Also rave: I’ve been keeping up with my yoga and have also started meditating 5-10 minutes a day. I’m feeling a lot more calm so far this cycle, so I hope I still feel this way once the TWW hits.

CS/Q: nothing yet

binkiesandbiceps · March 2019

Month/Cycle: Unofficially 1

CD: 22 (Explained below)

WAYDTGKU: Raspberry tea, spearmint tea, PCOS diet, exercise, temping

R/R: I realized on Tuesday, when my temp shot up, that my period last week was not indeed my period, but breakthrough bleeding from removing my IUD. I current have no idea if I've ovulated, or if I did and will be strtings my period any time soon. So I'm just going to make myself cozy until things even out. I've heard spearmint tea is also another possible aide in regulating cycles, so I might enjoy both until things get figured out.

CS/Q: Nada

ejoseph16 · March 2019

@millpe definitely one I’d rather not read. Long story short: my evaluation was rescheduled 3 times because of snow days and 2 hour delays, so the lesson wasnt what it was supposed to be. I got marked down to developing for a parent that has complained multiple times because her daughter doesn’t turn in homework (not sure how that’s my problem). I need to “be more proactive in communication with difficult parents”. It just really hit me wrong this morning and I’m extra emotional right now anyways because of TTC. So I cried it out with a teammate this morning and moved on. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s outside of my circle of control.

@misshelen86 I wasn’t sure how that worked! Thanks! Our timing has been pretty awesome this cycle, so I’m hopeful!

@jennifer_louise can’t wait! Hooray for the TWW!
