WAYDTGKU: A little bit of this and a little bit of that. But I’m on TB mobile so I’ll spare the details today!

R/R: DH and I had an impromptu date night last night and watched the hockey game. We had a lot of fun! We got home super late but still were able to HIO.

CS/Q: I’m going to hang here until FF gives the much anticipated CH’s. Please excuse the worst chart I have to date 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Good morning, ladies!

@brookert615 that's awesome that you and your H got to have a nice date night. Hope you get your crosshairs soon!

Month/Cycle:9/8 (third cycle AL)

CD:2 and it's particularly hellish this morning.

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

R/R: I've just about had it with my pushy, nosy coworker. You know the people who butt into conversations and give their opinion without being asked, and then act like you should be grateful to have them around to tell you what to do? She did that to me yesterday for the millionth time, and if we weren't surrounded by students, I would have called her out on it. Thankfully I now have the weekend to cool off and not worry about having another run-in with her. Plus I am going to the theater tonight to see some friends in a production and a little musical theatre therapy. That always helps.

CS/Q: Nothing to see here, move it along.

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: hio, pnv and opks

R/R: dh has had to help his stepfather out almost every weekend for months (owns his own construction company) and he is actually not working today! So we are going to Lowe’s. We are getting a screen door which I am overly excited for.

CS/Q: I thought I may have o’ed but no temp rise.

@brookert615 yay for impromptu date nights! Hope you get ch soon!
@emeraldduchess that is the worst kind of coworker! Enjoy the theater tonight!

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@holly321 enjoy your trip to Lowe's!

chichiphin · March 2019

@holly321 enjoy the time with YH today
@emeraldduchess ugh hate people like that - glad you have something fun tonight to look forward to!
@brookert615 I’m glad you got a date night

chichiphin · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 9 / 1AL

CD: benched

WAYDTGKU: bleh - temping sort of. But taking my vitamins and trying to be healthy haha

R/R: weekend!! Warm weather!! Date night tonight at a bourbon bar!!! Haha all good things right now

CS/Q: nope

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@holly321 yay for screen doors! Hope you’re able to find one you like! Enjoy your day with DH!

@emeraldduchess sorry you had to deal with that. Those people are the worst! Enjoy the theatre tonight!

@brookert615 love impromptu date nights! Glad you had a good time!

Month/Cycle: 28/1AL

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R: DH has duty today so having a low key day. I may go to the nearby nature park for a little hike since it’s going to be nice again today. We took a trip to DQ after dinner last night to celebrate spring and it was nice to enjoy that with dh. I also need a pedicure so that may be on the agenda for tomorrow.

CS/Q: The algorithm kicked in on my tempdrop so my chart is looking so nice this morning.

brookert615 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess So sorry AF is being a B! That’s so frustrating about your coworker and glad you’re able to have the weekend! Have fun at the theater tonight!!!

@holly321 Enjoy your time with YH!!! And yay for a new screen door!

@chichiphin Oh! Enjoy the beautiful day and your date night! Sounds like a good time!

@kbrown2385 Enjoy your day! That’s awesome you were able to have special time with YH! And ohhhh your chart is pretty!

holly321 · March 2019

@chichiphin that sound like fun. Dh doesn’t like bars, so we haven’t been in a while, but are going to see my friend’s band play at one in a few weeks!

@kbrown2385 I hope you enjoy your day! I love walking on nature trails. Glad you had a nice evening with your dh.

flowntheloop · March 2019

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: NTNP. No contraception, sperm-friendly lubricant (Pre-Seed), staying healthy in general (working out, hiking, eating healthier), pre-natal vitamins, avoiding unnecessary chemicals/nasties in environment/food/pharms.

R/R: Probably too much TMI, but [spoiler]I've been absolutely insatiable this cycle when it comes to sex/lovemaking. Fortunately, the hubby hasn't minded too much! I'm not sure if it is the switch over to no contraception (we previously used condoms) or if something has biologically changed once I started to TTC? Anyone else experience this? I feel like a teenager!

[/spoiler]

CS/Q: See the spoiler in R/R for my question if you dare. ^^;

holly321 · March 2019

@flowntheloop, it may simply be ttc, but bcp pills killed my sex drive. Also, my sex drive is a lot higher before I ovulate, even when not ttc. There is a hormonal correlation.

flowntheloop · March 2019

@holly321 I've heard that before! It's always really interesting to hear about that shift in drive.

I haven't taken BC pills (or any other hormonal therapies) for two decades. They pretty much make me have constant migraines and the sensation of being carsick. I'm a weirdo, I know! I have a hard time even taking steroid shots when I have allergic reactions, so I guess you could say I'm quite sensitive to hormonal shifts. Figured I would clear that up as that definitely wouldn't be a factor in this case. It may just be an ovulation thing (paired with the excitement of TTC), like you said!
Edit:typo

whitealbum29 · March 2019

@brookert615 - Love impromptu dates! Glad you had fun!

@emeraldduchess - So sorry to see you over here and that AF is treating you badly. Ugh people like your coworker are so exhausting...hope the theater cheers you up!

@holly321 - That's nice that you finally get a real weekend with your H!

@chichiphin - Ooh bourbon bar date sounds fun!

@kbrown2385 - That sounds like a nice day...sometimes it's nice to just have a chunk of the weekend to yourself! I love a good low key nature walk.

@flowntheloop - ooh well that certainly can't hurt! It sounds like maybe it is ovulation + excitement of TTC.

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: clomid for long/irregular cycles, prenatals, Ovia, OPK's, will try pre-seed this month

R/R: Just did an impromptu shopping trip to get new sheets and throw pillows so that was fun, and about to cook dinner with SO. Pretty uneventful day and feeling pretty calm about upcoming FW. I was thinking I might not tell him when the super important days are this month and just act like I want to HIO for fun so he feels less pressure!

CS/Q: nope

brookert615 · March 2019

@whitealbum29 Oh, new sheets are the best! Enjoy your dinner!

littlesheep123 · March 2019

Will come back for tags..

Month/Cycle: 14/14

CD: 1 😢

WAYDTGKU: HIO, PV, OPK, BBT

R/R: Rant: need to travel next week and the week after. Therefore we might not be able to schedule an IUI this cycle... Rave(?): DH finally started to get worried & realized its a real issue; he was like “you are just being crazy we won’t have problem getting pregnant at all (b/c everyone else in his family seem to blink and get KU?)” ever since we get off BC...

CS/Q: temp dropped this morning again, so it’s no surprise

emeraldduchess · March 2019

@littlesheep123 I'm so sorry for the BFN.

It took my DH a while to realize and accept that there's a LOT involved in getting KU and even with perfect timing, the odds are low. Basically the opposite of what they taught us at school during sex ed.
@whitealbum29 hope you had a nice dinner! I like your idea of not telling your DH when your next FW is. Maybe I should try that with mine...
@chichiphin your date night sounds great! Hope you had a nice time.

kagesstarshroom · March 2019

@littlesheep123 CD1 is always a bummer =\ so sorry.

@whitealbum29 I also like the idea of not telling YH about when the particular hotspot days are.

@flowntheloop Glad you’re having fun with all the “trying”!

@kbrown2385 So many ppl I know went hiking today, or so instagram tells me.

Month/Cycle: 6/5/2AL

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: opk, ff, bbt,

R/R: (all of these are kind of both, lol.) my chart is wild, climbing a mountain, so I’m curious when/if FF will say O? Today was the last day of the conference, and I had a good time, but happy to have a day of no obligations tomorrow— I don’t fly home til Monday. I wasted my fertile week getting crushes at this conference (one non-binary dude in particular, so freakin tall/handsome/sweet/flirty? i can never tell anymore when flirting is occurring or if ppl are just nice.) I do love having crushes.

CS/Q: a +opk last night AND this morning. gonna do one again tonite (i’ve never gotten two before.) on my way (via publix transit taking forever) back to where i’m staying with friends; can’t wait for the hotel tomorrow!

littlesheep123 · March 2019

Wow AF hits me hard! I was so tired that I took a 4 hour nap 🤦‍♀️ then woke up at 11pm... coming back for tags now!

@brookert615 your impromptu date sounds so much fun!
@emeraldduchess sorry about your coworker’s behavior! Kudos to you on keeping it to yourself in front of the students. Hope the weekend is relaxing!
@holly321 glad you get to enjoy your weekend with YH! I went to Lowe’s too today

@chichiphin wow bourbon bar sounds so romantic!
@kbrown2385 must be awesome to go hiking on a nice weather! Pedicure also sounds like a great treat after a busy week. Your chart looks perfect!
@flowntheloop that’s awesome! My OB told me great sex helps with conception (that’s what people called “just relax”?) I think in the first 2 years of our marriage we were pretty excited about things we do in bed, but right now it’s not fun because of all the opk and temping etc... hope you keep the excitement going!
@whitealbum29 uneventful weekends are great

sounds like a good idea to not tell H about the important days! Maybe I will do that too this cycle.
@kagesstarshroom glad you had a good time at the conference

sometimes it’s hard to tell if people are being nice or flirty! As long as they are not being annoying, it’s not a bad thing😆

littlesheep123 · March 2019

@emeraldduchess ikr it’s completely opposite to the sex Ed at school... We joked that we have wasted so much 💰 on BC

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@littlesheep123 I’m glad yh is finally realizing it’s not as easy as it seems. Sorry for cd 1.

@kagesstarshroom glad you had a nice time at the conference! Hope you’re able to enjoy a little tomorrow (today?🤔). It was too nice here not to get outside yesterday.

@whitealbum29 new sheets and pillows is my favorite! I find not telling dh where i am in my cycle definitely helps the stress levels.

@flowntheloop my sex drive is highest around ovulation. I’d absolutely be taking advantage of feeling insatiable lol.

chichiphin · March 2019

@kbrown2385 are you happy with tempdrop so far??
@flowntheloop mines always up when I O or right before, but I also was on hormonal BC that ruined my sex drive towards the last 6 mo on it
@whitealbum29 that’s how I tried to approach it too - like he knew we could get KU during those days but didn’t know it was THE crucial day ha
@kagesstarshroom enjoy the day today!
@littlesheep123 so sorry for CD1

kbrown2385 · March 2019

@chichiphin I love it! I don’t have to wake up at the same time everyday or even sleep well through the night to get my temp. The one downside is it’s not compatible with basically any apps, but I have no issue putting my temp in ff in the morning. So far, my chart this cycle is the best it’s ever looked.

brookert615 · March 2019

@littlesheep123 Sorry about your CD1!

@kagesstarshroom Enjoy your day of no obligations! Too funny about that guy and you never know anymore lol!

flowntheloop · March 2019

@littlesheep123 I hope that is true! We are trying a more casual approach to TTC just so we (hopefully) don't burn out. I definitely don't want this to become a job, if that makes any sense.

@kbrown2385 @chichiphin My drive is usually up around this time as well, but I have noticed a big difference this cycle. I wonder if I'm just becoming more in-tune/aware of my body during this process? I'm definitely trying my best to take advantage of the situation, but I think my drive is a bit higher than the DHs
