Re: WTO Friday 4/26
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: prenatals, CM, preseed...I took Clomid for the last 2 months but am considering skipping this month to see if I O at the right time on my own, and thinking I'll take a break from OPK's to take some pressure off, and just do EOD.
R/R: Just disappointed about day 2...but have a treat planned for myself to cheer up (minor retail therapy) and am glad it's almost the weekend.
CS/Q: Does anyone have experience taking Clomid but then skipping it for a cycle? I know it's only recommended for 3-6 months total so I'm thinking of "saving" it for next month and seeing if nature takes its course? I was prescribed it for irregular/long cycles but right after it was prescribed, the cycle before I started I actually ovulated on day 19 and had a 33 day cycle for a change so I've wondered if I should see if that happens again. Will call my doctor too but just wanted to see if anyone has experience!
Month/Cycle: 5/6
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Sex EOD and tracking CM
R/R: Our office is closed today but I have something that needs to get done so I’m heading in for a 1/2 day (looking forward to the quiet!) and then going to visit my grandma later! Happy Friday!
CS/Q
@whitealbum29 sorry about af, but glad you’re doing something for yourself. Enjoy your shopping today!
Month/Cycle: 29/3 AL
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: metformin, clomid w/monitoring, TI, progesterone after o, Tempdrop, opk, pnv, ubiquinol, vit c,d,e, methylfolate, baby aspirin, ww, low carb
R/R: so glad it’s friday! I decided to throw in the towel and just pay for the library book. I’m sure it will show up once that happens. Also, getting a new dishwasher today! It won’t be anything fancy, but looking forward to it working better than our current one.
CS/Q:
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: opk, bbt, pnv, ubiquinol. keto diet, other supplements
R/R: Happy Friday, Ladies!! CD 10 = day for me to start taking OPKs again. It was a nice break from obsessing... but here we are again.
CS/Q: nada
Month/Cycle: 9/1AL
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: still anxiously waiting for MH to get home. Trying to just relax and see what happens because it’s all out of my control anyways
R/R: still no for sure flight info for MH but he is hopefully getting a flight not a bus. Maybe. Rave: going running this morning then to Target 🙌
CS/Q:nope
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: benched for testing: cd3 bloodwork, stp, endometrial biopsy
R/R: Ugh, feeling down. I hate waiting. I thought I’d feel more ok about being benched, but just feeling anxious for results from cd3, anxious about testing, and anxious about not trying for a month. Rave: I think we’re going to plan a vacation for next month...so that we can be away for **tw? Mother’s Day**.
CS/Q: for some reason I’m still taking temps this cycle so that I have more data for ss for later cycles. Maybe that’s a bad idea.
@whitealbum29 sorry about cd2. Glad you were able to treat yourself and start feeling better.
@bows22 Enjoy your visit to your grandma! Sounds like a nice way to start your early weekend.
@kbrown2385 ugh, sorry about the library book. What a pain! That day-to-day stuff really wears me down for some reason. I hope that paying for it lets you let the bad feelings go. I like to think of it as paying 6 bucks to not think about it anymore, which is totally worth it...in my book. 😂 hurray for a functional dishwasher!
@kerco925 oh The obsessing—I’m benched and STILL obsessing.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: HIO, cycle tracking
R/R: Plan to keep HIO every other day this week, but that's a lot of sex so I might skip a day or so. Will start OPK next cycle, just not looking forward to figuring it out and doing it, wah.
Planning on doing more home projects (painting) during TWW and try to sneak in some self-care during the next few days. Maybe a pedicure and a podcast.
CS/Q: nada

@bows22 - Have fun with your 1/2 day off and with your grandma! I miss being able to visit my grandparents.
@kbrown2385 - Hey, another book for your library, right? Is at least an interesting book in case it does show up?
@MrsJessS - I need a Target run. Have fun!
@begging4abump - Depends on how long you've been temping. I temped a lot when I started to get more data, but now I have plenty enough data, just nothing to show for it.
@bobbyflies2020 - OPKs really aren't very hard. Were you planning on getting the internet cheapies or like the Clearblue digitals?
Month/Cycle:12/12
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, HIO
R/R: Feeling like I O'd yesterday because my CM changed halfway through the day, but we shall see if I get anymore EWCM today. If I get a 98 temp tomorrow, I'll move over to the TWW and do the override.
Today I'm wearing a super cute shirt that has a low back and I feel totally scandalous. I'll have to find the stock photo to show y'all. But this girl's on 🔥
CS/Q:
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: PNV, B complex, Magnesium, OPKs, tracking BBT and CM in FF, lots of healthier lifestyle things for me and H.
R/R: Working from home today! Going out to dinner with girlfriends tonight which I am looking forward to, though unfortunately the occasion is a goodbye for a friend who is moving which I’m quite sad about.
CS/Q: My chart has a bunch of open circles because I have been consistently waking up about an hour earlier lately, though still after a solid night’s sleep. Is there a way to change the default time in FF or do I just have to wait for her to figure it out and adjust?

@bows22 Enjoy your day and time with family!
@kbrown2385 Sorry about the book! Now you'll probably find it lol. Enjoy that new dishwasher!
@MrsJessS Oh, have fun!!!
@begging4abump Sorry you're feeling down! Where are you planning on going on vacation?
@bobbyflies2020 If you get the cheapies I suggest SmileReader. You can get them on amazon and there's a very user friendly app that reads the test for you and you can have YH link up with the app so he can get push notifications on high and peak days
@marebear15 Oh my goodness! Yes let's see that shirt! You always have the cutest clothes!
@bluebirdbluebird Enjoy your WFH day! enjoy your time out with friends tonight! There are temp calculators online but they're not super reliable. I would just keep temping and FF knows that it's a different time.

WAYDTGKU: Metformin (for PCOS), Armour Thyroid (for Hashimoto's), PNVs, Vitamins B Complex, C, D, Kelp, Calcium, OPKs, Temping, FighterDiet, FD Fight or Flight, CBD Oil
R/R: It's FRIDAY!!! Busy day but I'm sure it will go fast! We made plans last night and TOTALLY forgot. My SIL texted me and was like "are you still coming" and we drove up to their house super fast but were still up there wayyy too late.
CS/Q: Peak OPK for the win! Kind of bummed about this cycle already because DH is on antibiotics right now and I went down the Google rabbit hole last night.

@marebear15 Glad to hear you’re feeling it today! Get it! Looking forward to the stock image!
@kbrown2385 - *TW LC*
@brookert615 - I'm glad someone is still around that remembers my sweater obsession from the fall
Terribly weird photo, but I couldn't find the stock photo. It's a peplum blouse from H&M.

@kbrown2385 Oooh yay a better working dishwasher! I need one of those. MH does construction so we often get appliance replacements often for free--like, someone buys a better one and he takes theirs and replaces ours with it. The one we have now is OKAY but not great.
@kerco925 I started my OPKs on day 10 too! My least fave part is trying to hold off peeing for a few hours. I think thinking about it makes it worse.
@MrsJessS I hope you get that travel info soon.
@begging4abump I temped on my benched cycles for data. I feel like it either makes you feel better or worse. It made me feel better.
@bobbyflies2020 Self care is so important, esp. during the TWW! We're trying for EOD this cycle too, but I want to DTD on O, too--so I'm hoping it will come on an "odd" cycle day, as we're "off" on the evens.
@marebear15 I had both W & EW cm yesterday & then after the EW it went back to W? But it was only CD11, which would be earlier than all my past recorded O's. Anyway, who knows. I might pop open the good ol TCOYF to revisit its chapter on CM/any chapters on WTO.
@bluebirdbluebird FF suggests not adjusting temps.
@brookert615 O nooo the Google Rabbit Hole! I think MH is done w/ his antibiotics from when he was sick, but now I'm worried... and also worried about rabbit holing haha.
whew! ^_~* afm...

R/R: I 100% could notttt get out of bed this morning! I'm in CT & I only got up, like, a half hour ago. I have a lot of grading to do, but after DH gets done work we should be spending some good time at Festival Internationale, our awesome free music festival.
CS/Q: So I set an alarm to temp every morning, but USUALLY I wake up on my own. This morning my alarm went off and it scared the CRAP out of me--and I wonder if that raised my temp a notch? Like, my heart was beating really fast when I temped haha.

@bows22 I hope you have a nice visit.
@kbrown2385 Yay for the new dishwasher! I swear mine runs just about every day along with doing dishes by hand every day.
@mrsjessS I hope YH has a safe, quick trip home. I'm jealous of your trip to Target.
@begging4abump FX your results come in soon. A vacation sounds wonderful next month!
@bobbyflies2020 I hope you get some self-care in. I love podcasts! What do you listen too?
@marebear15 Your shirt is super cute!
@bluebirdbluebird I hope you have a nice dinner, even if it is still sad. I think FF will change the circles if you end up getting more temps around that same time.
@brookert615 I hope the day has gone by fast! It has over here, work has been so hectic this week.
@kagesstarshroom I would suspect your temp could be elevated from the way you woke up. I hate that feeling when you wake up like that. Have fun at the festival!
