Happy weekend!

Month/Cycle: 21/20

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, temping, PNV, Vit D, HIO

R/R: today is definitely a day of laundry. I neglect it for long periods of time. I have a bunch of already clean clothes that just need to be folded and put away. Fun fun. I think DH and I might pull off a date night this weekend since we still have that 20% off coupon for Bonefish Grill that expires at the end of the month.

CS/Q: I forgot I should have woken myself up earlier for temping so I had to use the converter to convert my temp down. Tough getting back into the swing of it.

Spartanrd4 · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: preseed, opks, FF, temping, PNVs, Omega 3, coq10

R/R: Well I got peak on my opk today and of course DH is having performance anxiety issues....really not sure if we will be able to do it the next 3 days. Last night was a total fail.... I'm trying to be supportive but can't help but be super disappointed at the moment

CS/Q: nah

littleredm · March 2019

@inthewoods23 ugh laundry is the worst. I have a huge amount to do this weekend too. Hope you have a great time at Bonefish Grill with YH.

@Spartanrd4 I'm sorry. That is super frustrating.

Month/Cycle: 15/15

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: IUI #2, Letrozole, PNV, etc.

R/R: This Letrozole is making me having spotting/cramps. I feel like I've been on my period for 8 days. Today is my last day on it and I say good riddance. Working today and then DH and I are taking a pottery class for a date night.

CS/Q: nada

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@Spartanrd4 I’m sorry about the performance issues. Dh has them every couple of cycles and I understand the frustrations. Hopefully he can pull through for this one for you.

@inthewoods23 good luck with all the laundry! I had to do the same this week and I’m pretty sure I cleaned every piece of our clothing. Hope you guys are able to get the date night in! Im hoping for one here as well!

Month/Cycle: 28/2 AL

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: metformin, ww, low carb, ubiquinol, vit c, d, e, pnv, tempdrop, opk, progesterone

R/R: My current af is real different than the last few. Not as heavy, I think it’s going to be shorter too. I’m certainly not complaining but it’s super weird for me. Hopefully these are some positive changes due to my diet change. Also, I’ve been using only my tempdrop for temping this cycle and I’m already loving my chart. I’m not even the full 30 days in and it’s a huge change from what my previous charts looked like temping vaginally. It’s so much less stressful as well!

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@littleredm what made your dr choose letrozole over clomid? Have fun at your pottery class tonight!

ruby696 · March 2019

@kbrown2385 Glad you're loving tempdrop! I uaw Ava and it's so nice not worrying about what time I wake up.

@littleredm Love that date night idea! We usually just go out to dinner, but I think maybe we should switch it up and do something new. I hope you and YH have a great time tonight!

@Spartanrd4 Ugh, I'm sorry, that's so stressful for you both. Maybe it would help if you didn't tell him when you're having peak days? No real advice - I'm sure you've already thought of most things. Hugs.

@inthewoods23 Laundry day is the worst. I hate folding clothes. It's worse than unloading the dishwasher. I hope you have something fun planned for tomorrow.

Month/Cycle: 18/10ish

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: All the things.

R/R: IUI today! I'm kind of struggling to trust that my RE knows what she's doing re: timing because I usually ovulate later in my cycle, but I also don't normally take Clomid, so... 🤷‍♀️ I'm trying just to go with it.

CS/Q: Nope

ETA: spelling

kels0091 · March 2019

Month/Cycle: I don’t even know anymore. Been trying since July 2018 but my cycles have constantly been a disaster.

CD: 57

WAYDTGKU: HIO, pnv, vitamin D, B6, low carb, low sugar, exercise, metformin, provera, omega 3

R/R: I think this might be my last time using provera to induce a period because it makes me so sick the entire 5 days I’m on it. I’m not sure if the potential benefit outweighs the side effects. I’m supposed to get the blue dye test on the tubes and ovarian drilling done as soon as my period comes. But it’s a flawed system here where I have to call once the period starts and then the surgery is scheduled on the following Monday or Tuesday as long as theirs availability. What irks me is I’ve made it very well known that I hate provera and get when I get the period finally, each month they have been completely booked. I also woke up to find out that one of my exes is engaged and TW his fiancé is also pregnant. He told me he never wanted those things so it’s a bit of a slap in the face.* END TW. I could rant for hours but it’s not healthy lol. Hope everyone has a great weekend 😀

CS/Q: has anyone with PCOS tried anything other then provera to get a period ? I can’t take birth control pills because I have a blood clotting disorder.

@Spartanrd4 my bf deals with performance pressure as well. I find what works best for us atleast is if I let the ball (lol) to be in his court.

@littleredm I have always wanted to do a pottery class. Sounds like fun.

kagesstarshroom · March 2019

@ruby696 Good luck w/ your IUI today!

@littleredm Enjoy date night! Pottery is cool--MH went to school for ceramics.

@Spartanrd4 GL w/ the HIO!

@inthewoods23 MMmmm Bonefish Grill...

@kbrown2385 I have a super light AF on days 3-5 (like, sometimes nothing), so even tho it's not normal for you, it's not NOT normal? Perhaps due to diet changes!

Month/Cycle: 6/5/2AL

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, FF, OPK, maca, ubiquinol, RLT, eventually HIO...

R/R: Soooo DH just started taking Zoloft a little bit ago & last night we were, um practicing for the 1 day it's worth DTD before I go on vacay during the rest of my FW + he couldn't finish + now I'm worried that the one chance we're gonna get this month it'll be the same prob. / I found this drink at the health foods store I really liked? It's called GT's Pur-erh Root tastes like root beer! And it has reishi mushroom in it, which I've had in a kombucha before and really liked a lot. And it sort of cheered me up yesterday, though I realized later it had 60 mg caffeine in it lol and was like ooooh okay.

CS/Q: Def. would love to O on day 21, but the data is skewedddd. Go home, FF, you're drunk. (I know I can discount that cycle, but it finally thinks it knows how long my luteal phase is, so I'm just "dealing with it.")

keikilove · March 2019

@Spartanrd4 So sorry about that tough situation. You’re doing a great job being aware of being supportive. That can be so hard when really you just feel disappointed & maybe angry (from my experience). Hang in there & I Hope YH is able to feel less stressed & like it’s more fun.

@littleredm That sounds like such a fun date night, enjoy! @inthewoods23 Hope you all can get that date night in too!

@kbrown2385 Yay for less stress!

@ruby696 Everything is crossed over here for your IUI! Hope it all goes perfectly for you!

@kels0091 I’m sorry you’re feeling so sick on the meds and I REALLY hope you can get in for the needed tests this time. That has to be beyond frustrating. And I’m sorry about the news of your ex. Yeah, they’re an ex and we shouldn’t care, but stuff like that is so bothersome. Sorry.

@kagesstarshroom I totally read your post like “Oooooh, she found a drink that tastes like root beer AND it’s healthy?! Where can I get it?” And then your comment on the caffeine.

At least you got a nice little pick-me-up from it! Re: the Zoloft, fingers crossed for you all that it doesn’t have a lasting effect like what you just experienced.

AFM:

Month/Cycle: 10/6/3 AL (I really am not quite sure how to calculate this!)

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: I finally copied & pasted this novel! BBT, CM, CP, PNV w/Folate, extra Iron, extra extra Vit D3, Fish Oil/DHA, Vitex, Maca, Ubiquinol, DHEA, Baby Aspirin, Lovenox, Exercise, will add natural progesterone cream back in at ovulation for good measure.

R/R: We have nice plans for today, the sun is SHINING after lots of cool rainy weather, and I’ve been getting 8 hours sleep all week! Feeling like a brand new penny

CS/Q: Not quite yet. Body appears to be gearing up earlier than normal, just like last month, but this time I’m ready!

kiki047 · March 2019

*lurking*
@kagesstarshroom MF is on Zoloft and Wellbutrin, and he definitely struggles a lot with his libido and ability to finish. I can tell immediately when he skips doses. Partly because of his mood but mostly because I can feel when he’s firing on all cylinders

I’m sorry I don’t have any good advice for you other than to just go with the flow. Jump on it (ha!) when he’s naturally in the mood and just reassure him when it doesn’t happen that it’s not his fault. He takes his at night before bed so I try to get him to wait until after we HIO to take it so there’s less in his system.

inthewoods23 · March 2019

It's a lot more fun letting my cat wander about on our deck being a 50 degree F day outside than to be inside doing laundry. Although I suppose I could have put a load in before letting her outside...

chichiphin · March 2019

@littleredm girl - the cramping and ovary pain I had on letrozole was SO real. No spotting tho. I also could tell you the literal moment I O’d bc of the cramp! Good luck friend ❤️

mrsvp614 · March 2019

@inthewoods23 You just reminded me we have a Bonefish gift card
@Spartanrd4 So sorry 😐
@ruby696 FX for your IUI

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 9

BBT FF PNVs

R/R: Rant: this kitchen reno has DH and I fighting a lot, and it’s sucking up our weekend, so I’m ready for it to be over.
Rave: final night of pigging out before I’m back on the WW wagon. So we had five guys 😬

CS/Q:

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@kels0091 have you tried myo-inositol? It’s good for regulating hormones. I know a lot of people who use the brand ovasitol which is a combination of myo inositol and d-chiro inositol.

kels0091 · March 2019

@kbrown2385 I’ve never actually heard of it ! I’ll bring it up to my dr
