I don’t even know where to start. Thank y’all so much. @keikilove said it best, I think. Overall I’m in a better place for now. I feel like I have a plan. And I’ve accepted that what’s done is done regarding this cycle. Can’t do anything about it. I do genuinely think I o’d yesterday so we’ll see if I can snag a temp tomorrow morning. I don’t think I’ll have any problems sleeping tonight, or at least dear god I hope not. I am barely functioning I got so little sleep. Was awake 1230 to at least 4am with a 615 alarm.
@shamrocandroll I had seen others mention smep in the wto thread but had no idea what it meant. Thank you! We’ll definitely give that a try. At first I was like well that won’t work because of our schedules but then I realized it’s actually perfect. The 4am HIO was really making H feel weird and used because I am so anti morning HIO and always have been, except when I was PG (omg the horniness, plus the insomnia meant all the HIO at any time of day). But if EOD happens to fall on a 4am day then that will help to normalize it. Thank you.
@kagesstarshroom first I just want to say what a bright, shining star you are. Your posts always seem to touch me, regardless of which thread and even when they’re not directed at me. I think the OPKs could definitely help with the BBT pressure! The really stressful thing is that we used FAM to avoid for over a decade. But throw TTC in the mix and suddenly each and every temp feels like do or die. I’m a little worried about the OPKs being able to pick up on my surge, though, because of how much water I drink. There’s no way that I can go 4 hours without peeing during the day! We shall see.
@sorarose I’m so sorry this is dragging on for you, and that your doctor seems to not be on your side. I hope you are able to begin moving forward soon.
@_khaleesi Awww geee thank you, that is sweet of you. I'm a writer, so it means a lot that my words mean a lot. And I don't think I ever have made it holding me pee for 4 hours lol, but both cycles I used OPKs at least once I was able to get the double bold lines, so--however long I managed to hold it was good enough I guess!
[[[update]]] Earlier today, I posted in TWW about how my BFF finalllyyy called me earlier & we're cool now, but then I realized that was thissss thread that I'd talked about that on, so I wanted to make sure yall knew we were cool and thank you for your support/hope for that to work out!
@sorarose I'm so sorry you have to wait longer. It's the most miserable thing in the world. I pray you find a little peace in this difficult time. I asked for my 11 day ultrasound to be at a radiology center where they have better ultrasounds than the in office. (I work in a hospital so I knew our hospital has better machines). It gave me better piece of mind to have that and see an actual radiology report. I would definitely encourage you to see if they are willing to schedule you at the radiology center.

@wanderlost thinking of you. Hugs.
