emeraldduchess · March 2019

Good morning, ladies!

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

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, HIO, SMEP(well, attempted) red raspberry leaf tea

R/R: I slept horribly but at least my cold moved out of my chest. Hopefully it's on the way out, but for now I feel lousy.

CS/Q: Big temp spike this morning. I'm not sure if it's due to O or because I am sick and didn't sleep well at all. I didn't get a positive OPK, but I had a tiny bit of EWCM yesterday. I don't know what to think.

_khaleesi · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1 AL)

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, going to try HIO ED but feasibility totally depends on how long it takes me to o 😀. In an effort to boost CF I also haven’t taken Zyrtec since cd11 (I have horrible allergies) though I’m afraid I’ll have to cave and take half of one today. No idea if half will do the trick.

Rant: It’s meeting Monday. After springing forward.

Rave: Jeans at work all week for spring break. Yesssss 😎

CS/Q: If I were to o on the early side, it would be today! I would not mind an early o. 🤞 Typically o cd 16/17 though and *TW* first cycle AL means I have no idea what’s going on. 🤷‍♀️

_khaleesi · March 2019

@emeraldduchess good morning to you too! Sorry you’re still feeling crummy. Hope you’re able to finally shake it here soon. Until you have proof otherwise, that’s a fine o temp spike! FX for your next couple of temps.

brookert615 · March 2019

Good morning!!!

@emeraldduchess Sorry for the crappy sleep. Hopefully you're back in action soon!

@_khaleesi I hear you about the meetings! That's great you get to wear jeans! Hope you can get that early O!

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Metformin (for PCOS), Armour Thyroid (for Hashimoto's), PNVs, Vitamin C & D, Kelp, Calcium, OPKs, Temping, FighterDiet, RLT, Taking suggestions? LOL

R/R: I'm REALLY trying to stay positive but I'm really feeling the TTC blues. I had a hiccup in my diet over the weekend where I ate/drank what I shouldn't have and only got one workout in. But good news is today is a new day and I'm alive and well! Planning on lifting once I get home and making one of my favorite steak salads that's in a serving bowl for dinner!

Also, my attempts of giving up caffeine have failed and I have a new preworkout that's going to be at my door today. SO EXCITED lol.

CS/Q: Nope!

kiki047 · March 2019

It's quiet in here this morning.

@emeraldduchess hello temp spike! Even the days I didn't sleep well and expected my temp to go up, it didn't, so I'd be interested to see what tomorrow brings. Sorry you're still feeling lousy, hopefully your cold clears out soon! Bleh!
@_khaleesi GL with HIO ED. You're on a hot streak so far!
@brookert615 *hugs* all aboard the TTC Blues Train. We had a rough weekend in our house too. Lots of tears, lots of moping. But like you said, it's a new week, and we're feeling ready to face it head on. Your steak salad sounds yummy! Did you at least enjoy your cheat day(s) this weekend? I hope it means you indulged in something delicious.

Month/Cycle: 15/12

CD: 13

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: After a tough weekend (emotionally), we're back at work, feeling pretty rough from this time change, but enjoying the light traffic because of spring break and slightly milder weather (above freezing!). Also a rave, I don't think I've ovulated yet, which is good because we had a really unsuccessful weekend trying to HIO due to some, um, chafing issues in my lady parts. It hurts to sit. Without going into too much detail, I think something quite literally just got rubbed the wrong way last week and things are a little uncomfortable down there still. My adorable, considerate honey was so worried about hurting me, we had some non-starters because he just couldn't get it out of his head that it hurt so he suggested that if it didn't heal in time we just try AI with a softcup or something (he remembered our convo about softcups!) and my heart was both bursting and breaking at the same time. Thankfully we didn't need to resort to that last night, so we'll see how the next few days go.

CS/Q: Open circle yesterday because of the time change, I didn't even bother trying to adjust it. My CM is still questionable so still just waiting for O.

brookert615 · March 2019

@kiki047 Sorry it's been rough for you guys!

I did enjoy it but was instantly feeling guilty! Honestly just having drinks made me feel better. I know it sounds horrible but it was a good band-aid lol. Sorry you've been a little uncomfortable, but hopefully you heal up quickly for those HIO sessions!!! That's wonderful YF is learning!

kiki047 · March 2019

@brookert615 ah yes, the guilt. That's how I feel about McDonald's. It's delicious at the time but I feel gross after and SO guilty so it's not even worth it most of the time. Their ice cream cones are another story, lol.

brookert615 · March 2019

@kiki047 LOL! McDonalds must be better up there! Although if I ever do fast food it's usually Sonic, Chikfila or Wendy's and usually regret is not there!

b_1029 · March 2019

Happy Monday everyone! I decided to come actually participate again instead of just being a giant lurk. Missed you all!

@emeraldduchess sorry to hear you’re feeling bad! My guess would be that your spike is due to being sick since you haven’t gotten a +OPK or had a lot of EWCM yet.

@_khaleesi good luck on your day of meetings. The worst, especially on a sleep deprived Monday.

@brookert615 I’m right with ya on the TTC blues. Hugs to you! Your salad sounds delicious!

@kiki047 FX your “issue” goes away soon. Hopefully O holds off a bit so you all can HIO a few more times.

Also @kiki047 @brookert615 McDonald’s is always my go to road trip food...I look forward to it every time I’m traveling lol. I always feel gross but it’s worth it.

Month/Cycle: 17

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: will you guys hate me if I say I’m too lazy / sad to type this all out today? I really need to save it in a note on my phone. Also I haven’t decided what I’m gonna try this cycle. Potentially nothing since we’re going to the RE next month and obviously nothing I do is helping. (This ended up being way longer than the usual answer so I guess I’m more sad than lazy?)

R/R: same- Monday after daylights savings time and I didn’t get back until 11 last night (with another hour time change), needless to say, I’m dying. And I was part of this super important discussion last week and went to make the meeting minutes today- our website didn’t save ANY of my notes so now I’m going to have to meet with my manager to try to piece together the discussion. Damn you technology. I’m just going to go back to taking notes in onenote. Rave- nice day here today, not that I can enjoy it in my current state. I also had a really nice albeit super busy weekend back home.

CS/Q: nope

brookert615 · March 2019

@b_1029 Glad to see you're back, friend! Sorry you're still feeling the blues but that RE appointment is SO CLOSE!

The WAYDTGKU is tough to type out on mobile, I have a text document I have mine saved in! Oh goodness, that's so rough about the meeting notes! Maybe just put down your window and jam to something catchy on your way home to maybe enjoy it a little bit? Glad you had a good time back at home! Is YH still away or did he come home already?

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@kiki047 and @brookert615 is there room for one more on the ttc blues train? DH and I had a tough weekend too. We were both too sick to HIO on Saturday and if I O'ed yesterday our timing wasn't fabulous.
@_khaleesi fx for O! I like that your app has little hearts for when you HIO. I hate the little blue triangle on FF.
@kiki047 have you tried Preseed? I use it when I need a little extra *assistance* with keeping my lady bits from being rubbed raw.
@brookert615 don't feel too bad for indulging. I think if we didn't do that once in a while, we'd all go crazy.

misshelen86 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess Sorry you’re still not feeling well. It will be interesting to see what your temps do over the next few days.

@_khaleesi Yuck to Monday meetings. That’s fun you get to wear jeans this week though.

@brookert615 Sorry you’ve been feeling down. Today is a new day and it sounds like you’re back on track. Enjoy that steak salad!

@kiki047 Sorry you’ve had a tough weekend. YF is so sweet to be so worried about hurting you. I hope you heal up in time for O!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 10

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

R/R: Was supposed to go to book club tonight, but it’s been re-scheduled to next month. So I will finish up my shopping for DH’s birthday tonight instead (his birthday is Wednesday). I’ll be looking at clothes, which is much more fun than video game-type stuff. Rave: Loving the extra hour of light in the evening!! And the fact that temps are a bit milder and spring is around the corner!

CS/Q: nada

brookert615 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess You are sick though... maybe O will be pushed and you can get that timing right! And thank you!

@misshelen86 Thank you!!! Hope you enjoy your shopping tonight! Totally agree about the weather! It was SO PRETTY here yesterday!

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@misshelen86 I am definitely puzzled about whether I O'ed or not! This time last cycle I had 3 or 4 days of positive OPKs and plenty of EWCM. This time, my OPKs have only been negative and barely any CM at all. Wish my body was a bit more predictable! Have fun shopping for your DH! I wish mine would let me get him clothes that are NOT hoodies or sports-related. 🤣

misshelen86 · March 2019

@b_1029 You snuck in there and I almost missed you! Hugs to you my friend

Sorry you feel like you won’t be able to enjoy the nice day. Hope you are able to make some time for yourself in the next few days to do something you love.

kiki047 · March 2019

@brookert615 I'm with @b_1029, McDonalds is usually a shameless road trip luxury and I so look forward to it every time.
@b_1029 things are feeling much better "down there" tonight so FX it doesn't pose a problem. Except MF skipped his workout earlier today so he's in the basement doing his weights now and I feel like he's going to use the excuse that his arms are too tired to HIO. lol.
@emeraldduchess I saved a seat for you, my friend. I'm sorry you're feeling bummed about your timing too. Hopefully that spike was just from a mild fever and you might still have some time? and no I haven't tried preseed, but I'm tempted to pick some up to try.
@misshelen86 thank you. You're right, he's a sweetheart. Always fussing over me. Sometimes I think I don't deserve him.

ruby696 · March 2019

Hello everyone, I'm finally off the bench!

@emeraldduchess Sorry you're sick, I'm glad that it sounds like it's wrapping itself up.

@_khaleesi I'm sooo jealous that you get to wear jeans for a week. That sounds lovely.

@brookert615 I hear you on the eating fail, but you're so good 99% of the time. Try not to feel too bad about your weekend.

Ugh @kiki047, chafing is the worst! Sorry you had to deal with that, but glad you were able to power through 😉

@b_1029 Will it be your first time seeing an RE? I found my first appointment to be incredibly reassuring. I hope you can come up with a plan with your RE to get things moving.

@misshelen86 Plus one for yay it's (almost) spring! I'm loving the longer days.

Month/Cycle: 18/10 or so

CD: 1.

WAYDTGKU: Rx folate, maca, Ubiquinol, BBT, Ava, B12, IUI #1.

R/R: I got a small parrot (Green Cheek Conure) over the weekend and I LOVE him! He's so sweet and adorable, even MH likes him.

CS/Q: Nope

b_1029 · March 2019

@ruby696 hey come join us in the Tuesday thread! And to answer your Q, I went to an RE a while ago but this will be a new one and now that it has actually passed a year of trying, I'm treating it as a 1st appt.

ruby696 · March 2019

@b_1029 WTF, where am I? I thought this was Tuesday. Dammit! Lol!

jennifer_louise · March 2019

Go home @ruby696, you're drunk!

(lol jk please don't go anywhere)

inthewoods23 · March 2019

*puts selfie of @ruby696 in siggy for March siggy challenge*

Lol jk!

ruby696 · March 2019

Lol, but I would be so sad if I lost! 😂
