WAYDTGKU: EOD, OPKs, tracking CM
R/R: OPKs were light as can be after work and before bed. I’m going to keep taking them but if they stay light/CM dries up, I’m going to assume the darker one yesterday morning was at the tail end of the surge and yesterday was O day due to O pain. Have a great weekend everyone! I’m off today to get some stuff done for the party we are having this weekend so I guess I should get out of bed

R/R: I guess I’m back over here now. But, I did successfully O and have a 28 day cycle, so that’s something. Waiting for the nurse at my doctor’s office to call back about meds for this month. I did forget how much AF sucks after I actually O.

Will come back to catch up.

@inthewoods23 I miss summer hours so much. The company I worked for when I lived in Boston did them. It was so nice and I left at lunch time every Friday.
@tyrion_ Hibachi sounds awesome!! Have a blast.
@mvt2003 I hope you have a great time at the concert. A friend went when they were here in May. She said it was amazing. One of the best concerts she’s been to.

@inthewoods23 TGIF indeed glad you get an early day out today!
@tyrion_ have fun w/ old work friends! don’t forget to return confoundables to the ministry!
@mercury94 sorry for CD1 😕
@bows22 so you think you missed the window for a +opk then? rats. but hope you are getting that BD in!
@mvt2003 omg when we were driving on the expressway i saw a billboard for NKOTB in AC and was like !!!! it is actually Warped Tour in AC awhile we were here which is..... like a blast from my teen years. and weirdly a lot of the same bands?

R/R: hello from sunny AC! having a good time so far, but it could be more relaxing. my dad has this “we have to do everything together” mentality and dh & i want to do our own thing or nothing sometimes, so it’s a bit of a balance! the wedding is TODAY, so i am looking forward to that! i love getting dressed up.
CS/Q: my chart is stupid. today’s open circle is bc i’m in a different time zone & didn’t sleep well, even tho i temped when i always do. the others are all from wonky time taking.
I just have irregular lining per the saline sono. I have another one of those in 2 weeks and I hope it looks normal! Otherwise I need surgery so that it's smooth.

@mercury94 ugh I’m so sorry to see you back here but glad there are some silver linings
@kagesstarshroom yeah I think I might have missed it. I have a really short surge. We do EOD starting by CD 10 so it really doesn’t change our timing but I like the OPKs to help pinpoint O so that I know when I can reasonably test/expect AF. Edit - also - have fun at the wedding! I hope the weather is more mild than it is here! 🥵
@bows22 I think we're destined to be cycle buddies! I haven't paid attention...do you have shorter cycles? Mine are usually 25 or 26 days, and I don't ever notice anyone else with consistently shorter cycles like that.
@mvt2003 Have so much fun! That sounds like a blast!
@inthewoods23 I used to work at a place that had half day Fridays. It was amazing. Now, Friday I usually stay super late trying to get everything wrapped up. Oh well... Enjoy!

R/R: We are hosting a friend's birthday party at our house tonight. So it will be a bunch of guys drinking and playing video games all night. Not terrible, but I'll probably find something else to do on my own.
CS/Q: Finally got a temp spike today! I was worried this cycle would be annovulatory, but now I'm hopeful that we're still on track. FX I get CH by Monday.
Have fun at the concert @mvt2003! You will receive no judgment from me - I'm going to see Hanson in concert for the FOURTH time in 2 years this August, lol. You never forget your first love.
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
@bows22 That is good about the timing! We started day 9 this cycle EOD and I just switched to ED today... bc I like doing it in hotels? 😉
