@puppylove8910 Thank you!!! My OB refuses to do anything until the 12 month mark, unfortunately. I need to dive deep into my insurance and see what RE's are covered! I've been pushing DH to go get a SA through his doctor since he has an appointment coming up to get at least some answers.

CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: Acupuncture 1x/week, BBT, Pre Seed, HIO two days on one day off, Digital OPKs (this month only)
R/R: My temp dropped this morning so I definitely DID NOT ovulate. I think my temps are just off because of the **TW, CP** last cycle. Therefore, as much as I hate OPKs, I will continue to use them alongside temping so I can truly confirm O. Just in case my body decides to throw me another curve ball! I usually O b/w CD 15-17 so FX not much changes. Although, I have O'd on CD 21 before (usually if I am sick during my FW).

R/R: Finally Friday! Work is super busy today though. I'm heading out of town tomorrow to visit my parents at their lake house and get a bunch of stuff I left there over the new years. Then coming home to meal prep and catch up on the house on Sunday.
CS/Q: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5d321c FF gave me cross hairs this morning with my high temp but I am positive it is wrong and will change. I am almost certain O was CD 14 or 15, but I'm thinking 15 because I had O pain. I am also pretty sure my temp was abnormally elevated because I woke up an about 1 hour and 45 minutes before my alarm and then went back to sleep and woke up 1.5 hours later and took my temp. Our timing will suck, but did manage to FWP last night. I probably will move over to the TWW tomorrow if my temp is high again.

@brookert615 your gif made me laugh. That’s me on CD1. Sorry you’re back to CD1. 😩 MH was the same about both not getting a BFP and about our MC. I think they just don’t connect to it like we do. I think because we feel it and it’s our body in charge, we are more emotionally connected to it. I try to just communicate how I’m feeling to get him to understand the frustration and emotional drain I am feeling. Otherwise I snap at him over nothing.
@whitealbum29 oh our process is way more complicated than it needs to be. We do pink and blue post it notes on chart paper. Each child is put on a post it note with math and reading scores (and if they haven’t passed the third grade reading guarantee). We also put a red dot in the bottom right hand corner if they’re a behavioral problem, mark if they’re on an IEP, and put names of students they need to be separated from. Then we sort them in front of the next grade level. That was last week. This week, we had to watch the second grade teachers sort and get information on our kids for next year. Sounds like we have a crew next year, too! Including (and I’m quoting the teacher here) a special education kiddo who is gifted, has a 1-on-1 aide, and is a “boob grabber”. Yep. I’ll have him for reading. My principal laughed at my reaction. I mean... you can’t make this stuff up.

@m6agua enjoy your visit with your parents!
@puppylove8910 sorry for all the confusion with O. It's so frustrating sometimes! I always have to tell myself that I'm not a robot and can't predict every little thing that my body does.
@whitealbum29 I hope you feel better and can enjoy your weekend!
@varimama game night sounds like so much fun!
@ejoseph16 I saw this on Pinterest and thought of you.
