Re: WTO Weekend 7.6-7.7
Good morning, ladies!
Month/Cycle: 7/5/3 AL
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, FF, PNV, folic acid, CM, HIO EOD
R/R: Yesterday was so nice! We had a great time in Amish, relaxing and doing some shopping! MH even surprised me on the way there and we stopped to see the model home of the house we have been dreaming of building since we were engaged, and said he wants us to start looking at land to build on! ❤️❤️ Last time we looked at it we were engaged, and I didn’t have a teaching job yet. I have a permanent position now, and he just got a promotion, so we are FINALLY ready to build! (Not to mention my pay increase when I finish my masters degree, which is in a year and a half - right about when we will be building) So I’m excited! I finally took a picture of the house and saved it to my phone.
Last family 4th of July party today and lots to get done! Have a great day!
CS/Q: Nope, just a nice diagonal between 2 dots. Nothing to see here.
@ejoseph16 awww that sounds like such a sweet day yesterday! That’s awesome about eventually building a house- seriously my dream! I’m so happy it’s becoming a reality for you all!
Month/Cycle: 21/22
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, CM, mucinex
R/R: nothing really in either direction. DH just took the dog to go fetch me coffee which is awesome. We’ve had some fun wake ups the past 2 mornings, which is good both for us and for TTC haha. We don’t really have any plans this weekend and we NEED to clean the house! Also, it’s a good friend’s wedding today (attending in spirit) and I couldn’t be happier for her after all they’ve been through!
CS/Q: hoping I get a temp jump soon- I’ve had some O pain but not as bad as previous months! We’ve been busy, lol (I will fade very soon)
@ejoseph16 So exciting you guys are ready to build your dream home!
@b_1029 Woohoo for fun wake ups! We need to clean the house too... but who wants to do that on a sunny day? Hope your friend’s wedding day is amazing.

Month/Cycle: 12/11/1st cycle after 2nd loss
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, observing CM, currently undergoing testing with RE
R/R: The nurse at the RE's office could not have been nicer to me yesterday. I asked if there was anything in my initial testing that they could share with me, so she brought up my chart and said that there is nothing that jumps out as being abnormal. They're going to look into a luteal phase defect next. They didn't bench me either, so that's good.
I am feeling like crap today, probably due to too much buffalo chicken calzone yesterday. I made it myself and kind of over-indulged in the leftovers for dinner last night. Just going to drink lots of water today and eat my fruits and veggies so I'll hopefully feel better! My face feels super-oily today and I have a huge, painful zit in the works. Awesome. DH is channeling his frustrating over recent ttc events by doing lots of yardwork.
CS/Q: Nope. Will start temping again next week.
@b_1029 all the happy thoughts to your friend today for a beautiful wedding! And that's so sweet of your dh to get you coffee. I'm going to teach my DH how to make tea for me...maybe he'll get the hint and bring some to me in bed one morning like I do for him with coffee.
@misshelen86 hooray for having the weekend off! I hope you can get everything ready for your trip so that you're not rushing around at the last minute. Can I ask where you're going?
@misshelen86 sounds like a good, productive day ahead!
@emeraldduchess glad you got someone on the phone! Hopefully they can figure out what’s going on so you can get your rainbow!
FX that O happens for you soon @b_1029!
@misshelen86 Where are you headed? Sorry, if I've missed this!
@emeraldduchess I'm glad you were able to speak to someone at the RE. I truly hope you get a plan in place soon so you get your rainbow. Thinking of you.
AFM, I'm CD 15 and definitely ovulated yesterday based on my big temp rise this AM. I'll hang around here until I get my CHs before moving on to the TWW.

@b_1029 Yay for coffee delivery! Also thinking of your friend whose wedding was today, so exciting!
@misshelen86 Hope you got a lot done that you put your mind to.
@emeraldduchess It’s so good to hear that they were so nice & helpful at your dr’s office. Hope the answers start to make themselves apparent soon!
@puppylove8910 Yay for the temp spike! It always feels so good to see that clear confirmation, doesn’t it?
Month/Cycle: 13/9/2 AL
CD: 8

R/R: We went to a 4th of July parade today & it was so much fun! Felt like “Old Town USA” with classic cars, marching naval bands, horses all dolled up in holiday regalia. The most I’ve enjoyed a parade in a long time
CS/Q: Not yet.
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: OPK, BBT, CM, CP, soft cups, gonna add pre-seed and CB Digi this round
R/R: its been a long few days at work. finally off tomorrow!
CS/Q: for those of you who've tried Fertilaid/Vitex, does it make any sense to start it in the middle of WTO? my supplements will arrive tomorrow. i'm worried starting it now will mess things up especially with a FW predicted with good timing for us this upcoming weekend. I'm thinking i'll shelve it and if no BFP this cycle, use it next? seem logical?

@emeraldduchess @puppylove8910 We are going CT/NYC for a week!
@puppylove8910 Yay for O! Nice temp rise.
@keikilove That parade sounds amazing!
@sevenn Yay for a day off. I don’t use fertilaid or vitex but I think you can pretty much start supplements whenever unless they are meant to be used only on certain days?

WAYDTGKU: Femara, Metformin, prenatal, Conceive Easy, HIO EOD, BW on CD21, temping/tracking with FF.
R/R: We had such a good time at the in-law’s house! So much yummy food, and they even sent us home with some leftovers! It was so hot, but the dogs still enjoyed running around and our bigger dog loves swimming in their pond! We haven’t told either of our parents we are TTC (even though we know they have to be getting antsy/wondering), so it’s always a relief when we get through a trip without someone asking about it. We just don’t want them to worry, especially since this hasn’t been the easiest journey for us so far.
CS/Q: Started temping today, will try and post just to make sure I can do it correctly with a spoiler.
@ejoseph16 that’s so exciting about getting closer to building a house! That’s our long-term plan as well, but it will be retirement house with some land...so WAY in the future for us!
@b_1029 sounds like you’ve had a nice weekend, hopefully the cleaning wasn’t too bad!
@misshelen86 hopefully you have a good weekend off, productive & relaxing!
@emeraldduchess that’s nice the RE’s office was able to give you a little insight on your tests so far! Those buffalo chicken calzones sounds really good, sorry you aren’t feeling great from having too much though!
@puppylove8910 that’s exciting you got your temp spike, hopefully you’ll get your CH’s soon. We decided to make last cycle more stress-free and not temp, but not having that confirmation of when I O’d stressed me out more, so back to temping this cycle.
@keikilove that parade sounds great, sounds like they had a little bit of everything there!
@sevenn hope you have a good day off tomorrow!
