WAYDTGKU:sex, temping and opks
R/R: No work today! My bff had to cancel lunch though, so not sure what all I will do after my Obgyn appointment, which, I am officially freaking out about. Since every time I have had to see him in the last 2 years hasn’t really gone too well.
CS/Q: I think I may have O’ed yesterday. It felt like it. I never have a truly positive OPK, but I have been sick from allergies and drinking a ton of water, so maybe there was never a good sample? And opks have started to get lighter.
Month/Cycle: 9/1 AL
CD: ??? Benched i
WAYDTGKU: started temping this morning with my femometer/JUUL (MHs name for it lol). I actually like it so far.
R/R: working from home today. Minus some of the annoying errands/household stuff I have to do today, I’m gonna try to enjoy being away from the office today
CS/Q: nope

WAYDTGKU: so many things
R/R: Happy Friday! I’m starting to transfer all of our seedlings to bigger pots today and it’s time to take them off of the grow lights. I’m amazed we’ve gotten this far, so hopefully the transplanting doesn’t shock them too much. Other than that, it’s going to be another beautiful day so windows open for sure!
CS/Q: I’ll hit 30 days with my tempdrop soon. The algorithm will kick in and some of these temps should change and be less rocky.
@kbrown2385 I hope the transfer goes well. If I have time, I may buy some seeds today.
@holly321 Enjoy your day off! Sorry your friend had to cancel! Hopefully your OBGYN visit goes well and you're able to relax a bit!
@chichiphin Glad you like your new BBT so far! Enjoy your day off! Not sure how it is over there but it's warm but raining!
@kbrown2385 Oh that is so exciting they're growing so well! Enjoy the beautiful day!

R/R: Finally Friday! I am excited for the weekend because I actually have nothing planned. I will probably try and catch up around the house.
CS/Q: nothing to see yet.
@holly321 I hope your appointment goes well and you find something to do just for you after.
@kbrown2385 What are you planting? I want to start a garden one of these years, but I am awful at keeping plants alive. My parents have a whole room in their house dedicated to plants. I didn't get any of that gene.
@chichiphin I give props to people who work from home, at my last job I got to work from home 2 days a month and I was way less productive.

TTC#2 April 2019@chichiphin - Glad you like your new toy
@kbrown2385 - We started our garden late, so no sprouts yet, but hopefully soon! What all do you have planted?
@brookert615 - I'm dying at your text to YH! Have an amazing, relaxing, and productive
AFM, I haven't talked about my brother and my coworker/friend in awhile. But they are officially in a relationship! He asked her to be his girlfriend last Sunday, and we are going out to dinner with them tomorrow to catch up. I'm super excited!!
Still freaking out waiting for the results from the test yesterday/Wednesday, and apparently we won't know anything until Monday unless they call with bad news. So I'm going to be hanging on to my phone all weekend.
Also, I'm not tracking, but I can't ignore my body, so I'm pretty sure I O'd already. I'll move over to the TWW after the weekend.

@brookert615 I'm seriously taking inspiration from how much fun you and YH seem to have each month. I gotta be more fun about it!
@m6agua enjoy a weekend of nothing - sometimes the best weekends tbh
@marebear15 I hope you get the results ASAP - enjoy the dinner! how fun!

@m6agua I didn’t get the gardening gene either so I’m shocked we’ve made it this far.
@marebear15 @m6agua we have tomatoes, bell peppers, arugula, parsley, chives (which I didn’t plant enough of so I’ll be starting more soon). We also started mint, cilantro, dill and lemon balm but they didn’t grow and we lost a pepper plant to the cat 😒.
@kbrown2385 - Wow!!! Those plants are thriving!! We are doing tomatoes, pickling cucumbers and regular cucumbers, green beans, corn, okra, and squash. We also have some parsley that survived the winter, and maybe cilantro too?
@m6agua gl this cycle! should be nice to take it easy the first couple if possible.
@brookert615 😂 at yr spoiler. can’t we be friends irl & make scenes places where one of us says a thing and then we laugh loudly and inappropriately and everyone scoffs at us?
@kbrown2385 hope the seed transfer goes swimmingly!
@chichiphin well, thx to “juul” i now know exactly what a tempdrop looks like.

R/R: i’m the only person working my book fair table except when i have to give my panels, so basically it’s like i have a retail job 9-5 minus a break for a presentation today & tomorrow at this conference / i did a reading of my poetry last night and it went super well. a lot of ppl whose work i respect told me they were impressed by me.
CS/Q: no idea if i O’d early for me or if where i am staying my temp is warmer OR if changing time zones, despite sleeping like really well for the most part has f’d this chart. (usually in CT & i’m in PT.)

CS/Q: nope.
@littleredm: Yay, OPK!
@kagesstarshroom: that's so amazing that you're sharing your work and getting such great feedback.
@kbrown2385: I'm so jealous of your gardening! That's so cool!

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, OPK, BBT
R/R: Just looking forward to the weekend!
CS/Q: Pos OPK Wednesday, and temp shift today. FF game me a single vertical line (was dotted vertical line yesterday), but I'm going to wait a few more days to see a good shift before I'm ready to believe that I'm in TWW. FF probably didn't like that I had so few temps, plus this is an "early" O for me (likely due to Letrozole) **Please don't kick me out of WTO just yet**
@lcking82 Enjoy your weekend! Yay for a line at least! I don't blame you staying around in WTO. I feel like FF will always change it on me when I move over!

@littleredm FX you get your phone call back ASAP!
@whitealbum29 Mmmm bagels.
@brookert615 Thankssss. there now and got the ipad working so i can schedule some relevant conference tweets.... and pop in TB to say hiiii, apparently.
@brookert615 that’s hysterical what you texted your dh!
@littleredm fx for you tomorrow!
AFM I went to target after my appointment and ran in to my friend, we decided to get coffee before she had to get home (their drier died and was being delivered and her dh works nights so she had to be home for it). While we were having coffee, her husband texted that the deliver people weee almost 1.5 hours early, so we went to lunch and had a nice time.
and as for my appointment, it went well. My obgyn encouraged me to just keep trying on our own for a few more months. My cycles are really regular now, (but since they are shorter than normal, he did remind me to have earlier sex, which I already knew) and TW I have been pregnant many times, so we shouldn’t be overly concerned yet that I can’t get pregnant on my own. Also my losses have all been for different reasons, which adds to the lack of concern in that area.
@littleredm Crossing everything for your IUIs!!!

@whitealbum29 sounds like such a nice weekend! Enjoy!
@kbrown2385 good luck with the planting. I envy anyone with a green thumb. I kill every plant that I touch.
@brookert615 enjoy breakfast with your friends tomorrow! Get something good! And your text...dead. 🤣
@holly321 I am so glad that you had a good appointment and that your doc doesn't have any major concerns.
@littleredm good luck tomorrow!! I will be thinking of you in a totally non-creepy way.
@lcking82 I didn't even know FF gave single lines...huh.
@whitealbum29 sounds like you have a nice weekend planned!
@kagesstarshroom glad your reading went well! That's awesome that you got positive feedback from the other writers!
@marebear15 *waves* hiii! It feels like forever since we've been on the same thread! And now you're moving to TWW...fx for you!
@chichiphin glad you like your new bbt. I think I need a new one too. I will have to check out that brand.
@m6agua good luck with you first official cycle.

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, OPKs, SMEP(ish), temping. I am going to call for an appointment with an RE, too. Don't know how long it will take us to actually get in to see her, though.
R/R: The kids in thr classroom above mine have been dropping stuff on the floor all day. What the hell is going on up there?
*TW*
CS/Q: Nothin' to see here. Didn't even bother temping this AM, but I actually have a question! Is the VIP membership on FF worth it? I might sign up for 3 months and hope I don't need it longer.
