Month/Cycle: 15/11/1 AL#2

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: Nothing, waiting for RE appt. today!

R/R: Last night I had a dream that was basically TB IRL! I met with a bunch of ladies who were TTGP...we broke up into different rooms to discuss (like the dailies). Clearly my subconscious can’t think of anything else but trying to get KU...although I already knew that in my awake hours! 😂 I’d say our RE appointment being today had a lot to do with the dream...I’m excited/nervous that it is finally here!

CS/Q: None.

b_1029 · August 2019

*lurk* @bluetickgal hope your appt today goes well!

inthewoods23 · August 2019

@bluetickgal good luck at your appointment today! I hope you get some good answers and a plan moving forward! Sounds like an awesome dream! Hehe

Month/Cycle: 26/23

CD: 28

WAYDTGKU: FET in September

R/R: I'm going to try participating today but who knows. Days get incredibly busy when you're a 1 woman department for a few days. If customers could just not call us that'd be great 😆

In other news, DH officially hates Fantastic Sam's so now I gotta help him find a new place to get his hair cut. It was just another thing on top of his already crummy day.

CS/Q: nah

rachelg777 · August 2019

@bluetickgal yay for your appointment today! I hope it goes well.

Month/Cycle: 6/4

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: Ovusense, BBT, OPK's, CM, CP

R/R: My IL's are coming into town tonight, I like them but I always feel like they visit at a bad time . They are kind of "passing through" on the way home from a trip though so they'll just be here for the weekend. The movers come on Saturday with the rest of our stuff from our old home (that my husband has been staying at). So ready to finally feel like we are out of transition! I did get a high fertility smiley today like I expected, which doesn't mean much to me but maybe my ovaries are doing their thing.

Hello ladies!!

Month/Cycle: 11/9 (AL)

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: preseed, EOD, PNV, Letrozole, Trigger and IUI, checking CM, and OPKs

R/R: Just left the RE's office to see how my follies are looking. He said they are looking great and that I'm responding really well to the Letrozole but that they need to "cook" for about 2 more days! So I go back Saturday morning for another ultrasound and more bloodwork and hopefully I'll be able to do the trigger shot Saturday night and go in Monday morning for the IUI!

CS/Q:

kpearse99 · August 2019

@bluetickgal LOL that dream sounds amazing!! Good luck at your appointment today

@inthewoods23 I told all the customers to go away so that you could hang with us more today

@rachelg777 smileys are always a good thing!

inthewoods23 · August 2019

@kpearse99 😄 thank you!

whitealbum29 · August 2019

@kpearse99 - haha your RE sounds whimsical and nice! Your follies need to "cook" a little more and your uterus is "beautiful!" I'm picturing a sweet grandfatherly type. Glad it was a good appt!

@bluetickgal - good luck at your appt!! Haha I think I had a Bump dream a few days ago but couldn't really remember the details. Honestly when there's a pee party happening it's become one of the first things I think about in the morning!

@rachelg777 - That's great that you got a smiley! Hope you get clarity on O soon!

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: This month just CM, prenatals, shatavari, evening primrose oil, acupuncture. SA and some other testing planned for early September so just chilling out a bit till then.

R/R: Inexplicably somewhat grumpy this morning but looking forward to acupuncture after work!

CS/Q: nope

mvt2003 · August 2019

*half lurking from TWW, but probably realistically WTO*

@bluetickgal GL at your appt today!!!! Also, have to know who from TTGP was in this dream!!! Please tell me @kiki047 's Humpy was!!!

@kpearse99 I love your dr!!! So cute!!!

kpearse99 · August 2019

@whitealbum29 he's definitely something else

When he walked in for my appointment he greeted me with a "It's a beautiful month to get pregnant!" PS- I hope you get out of your grumpy funk!

babyodo · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT charting, CM & CP tracking, OPKs, Pre-Seed, Mucinex (CD10 to 1DPO), and baby aspirin.

R/R: I took a break from putting FW on the calendar in our kitchen and from reminding MH of when FW is, and I think that has taken some of the pressure off, which in turn resulted in some mid-week HIO last night. As you all know, because of MH's new work schedule, he is usually too exhausted to BD in the middle of the work week, so this was a pleasant surprise.

CS/Q: No temp rise, so no CH, which means I still go here. Kinda confused about the high/flashing smiley face on my CBAD several days in a row this week. CM turned EWCM late yesterday, and CP is still SHOW, but no other symptoms of O.

bluetickgal · August 2019

@b_1029 thanks so much!! I’ve still got my fingers crossed AF won’t come for you!!

@inthewoods23 thank you!! Haha, it was a good dream...I laughed when I woke up and made the correlation to TB! Hope your day isn’t as busy today, that’s tough running the whole show by yourself! That stinks you have to find a new hair place for DH! Luckily MH cut his own before we met (he’s basically bald), and now I just cut it for him!

@rachelg777 thanks!! Hope your visit from the IL’s goes well! Good luck with finishing all the moving...transitions are hard, glad yours is almost over!

@kpearse99 thank you! It was a good dream, so funny what our brains do though! So glad your appt. went well this morning and it sounds like timing is going to work out well!!

@whitealbum29 thanks so much!! That’s how mine was, I really don’t remember the details, but it was definitely real life TB! Sorry for the grumpiness, hope the day gets better!

@mvt2003 thank you!! Hopefully you aren’t on your way back over here! 🤞🏻 I sadly don’t remember the details of discussion or if any of the people were actually people from here...the setup was just TB but IRL. Bahaha, I’m pretty sure I would have remembered if Humpy was in there...but sadly, he was not! 😂

@ttcbabyodo yay, glad the FW not on the calendar has taken some pressure off! Woohoo for mid-week HIO during FW! Hopefully you get your temp rise tomorrow!

whitealbum29 · August 2019

@kpearse99 - adorable!! I'm going to focus on the fact that this man exists to help me out of my morning funk.

mvt2003 · August 2019

@whitealbum29 @kpearse99 seriously want his name for a recommendation, since it looks like I'm gonna be in the market for a RE!!!

kpearse99 · August 2019

@mvt2003 and @whitealbum29 he's just so quirky! I think that's the best word to describe him! I go to RMA of Philadelphia!

mvt2003 · August 2019

@kpearse99 probably too long of a commute from Massachusetts, right? Darn!!!!

kpearse99 · August 2019

@mvt2003 just a taaaaad too long

I'll keep you posted on all of his little quotes then and you can use them whenever you need to!

whitealbum29 · August 2019

@mvt2003 - we can carpool. I'll drive down from Maine and pick you up so we can split gas money.

gingermama29 · August 2019

@bluetickgal I hope your appointment goes well today! FX for you!

@inthewoods23 I hope it's a quiet day with minimal customers.

@rachelg777 yay for the high smiley! FX for you! Hope you have a nice visit with the ILs!

@kpearse99 so glad to hear the follies are looking good and you're responding well!

@whitealbum29 I hope your mood improves. Random grumpy days are rough.

@ttcbabyodo yay for midweek HIO. FX for a temp rise!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CF, FF, prenatals

R/R: Not much to really update. I'm just having a day where I'm feeling burned out and blah.

CS/Q: I was surprised by a pretty decent temp drop this morning. Still no sign of O though.

kpearse99 · August 2019

@gingermama29 I'm sorry you're feeling this way today. Do you have any time that you can take just for yourself? Maybe get a pedicure on your lunch break? Or go for a nice walk?

millpe · August 2019

@bluetickgal good luck at your RE appointment today! Come back and update after

@inthewoods23 totally understand about busy work days! I struggle getting on during the day at all, which usually results in me p&g if I post at all

@rachelg777 yay for high! Hope it means something!

@kpearse99 I'm glad you had a good monitoring appointment! Sounds like you are responding well and the timing is going to be perfect!

@whitealbum29 I hope acupuncture takes away the grumpiness!

@ttcbabyodo I often get several days of "high" before I get my peak. Except the last 2 months where I went straight from low to peak. If your CM is turning your body is probably gearing up and you'll get peak soon.

millpe · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 7/5/3 AL

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: CM, OPK, BBT, PNV, trying for SMEP

R/R: I'm on TB in the middle of the day! I actually feel a little guilty about it, but I've had 3 really productive days where I've taken more things off my list than I've added to it! After 2 months of no "high" readings on my OPK I was surprised by one today. I am worried my holder might die since this in month 3 using it since I had so many sticks left.

CS/Q: pretty boring, but I actually have a chart!

rachelg777 · August 2019

@kpearse99 aw yay! Glad everything looks on track for IUI Sunday! So exciting.

@whitealbum29 do you find your acupuncture beneficial- does your technician have advice and does it seem to be helping your cycle at all? I’m possibly interested in starting. 😊

@ttcbabyodo glad you got some HIO action! How many days of high fertility do you normally get?

@gingermama29 ugh sorry about your blah day!

@millpe woo hoo for productivity! I always reuse mine too, it seems to still read accurately so I’m just going with it! I just buy the packs of 30 refill sticks (I have long cycles).

millpe · August 2019

@rachelg777 I've resused it before too, but I've had it die on me in the middle of the third cycle 😬

inthewoods23 · August 2019

@kpearse99 I kid you not it is lunchtime and not a single person has called our phones today. It worked 😂

I have had a few emails and a voicemail forwarded to me to take care of but I think all the customers really are gone!

babyodo · August 2019

I normally only get a day or two of high, but sometimes have gone from nothing to peak in the matter of 12 hours, so who knows, lol.

I took another digital OPK and internet cheapie, and both read peak, so things are lookin' good!!

kpearse99 · August 2019

@inthewoods23 bahahaha that's amazing!!

kpearse99 · August 2019

@ttcbabyodo Yes! Get those peaks, girl!!

photographerwife · August 2019

@bluetickgal I hope your RE appt goes well! Dreams are so wild!

@inthewoods23 I feel you on these busy days lately! Hopefully everything goes smoothly! Poor DH:(

@rachelg777 Hopefully your in laws arent too disturbing!

@kpearse99 So glad that your follies are looking good! Fx that everything goes well!

@whitealbum29 I hope acupuncture makes you feel better later!

@ttcbabyodo Maybe that will put less stress on him!

@millpe Hopefully your holder doesn't die! Ive always just used internet cheapies and like them!

photographerwife · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, maca, prenatals

R/R: No rants, our bathroom is finally totally done! And DH and I are having a date night for the first time in a loong time! Its gonna be chill, im planning to get my nose pierced tonight, i've been wanting to do it forever and decided to go ahead since i know they wont do it once i get KU.

CS/Q: nothing to see yet.

kpearse99 · August 2019

@photographerwife ooooo send a pic of your new bathroom!!! Have an awesome date night! What are you guys gonna do? Also... GL with the piercing! Hopefully it doesn't hurt too much!

babyodo · August 2019

Thank you all for your support! I was beginning to worry that this cycle would be an-O, since I've been really paying more attention because I would like to rule out PCOS. I have an appt on the 26th to go over this stuff with my new GYN (eek) and to conduct a well-woman exam since it's been about 3 years since my last one (I haven't been on hormonal BC, so no need for annual checkups).

bluetickgal · August 2019

@gingermama29 thanks! Sorry for the blah feeling...hope your day got better!

@millpe thank you! Glad you’ve had a productive week! And yay for a high reading, hope the holder makes it through this cycle!

@photographerwife thanks! That’s exciting your bathroom is finished! Hope you have a great date night!!

@ttcbabyodo yay for getting a peak!! That’s good you have been collecting data to share with your new GYN.

RE update: the appt went really well, DH and I both really like him! We are doing RPL testing, will have an SHG after my next cycle starts, and continue with Letrozole & TI for now. May do trigger and IUI in the future, but only if we don’t get KU In the next 6 mo’s. We are glad to have a plan and hopefully get some answers from the testing!

m6agua · August 2019

@gingermama29 I am feeling the same today

@ttcbabyodo I hope O is soon and your cycle gets less confusing!

@whitealbum29 I hope acupuncture goes well and that your day gets better.

@kpearse99 Wow, things seem to be moving really fast! GL!

@rachelg777 I hope the visit isn't too bad. So exciting to get your house in order!

@inthewoods23 DH is so picky about who cuts his hair. I think 3 years in the military getting it cut off base didn't help.

@bluetickgal That seems like a cool dream, at least it wasn't about work! I hope your appointment went well.

Month/Cycle: 5/5 (2 benched)

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, getting healthier

R/R: Work has been so busy this week, sorry I haven't been posting much

CS/Q: Ugh the last 2 nights my temp was falsely high because of waking up too much and finally switching the air off. I really need the next week of temps to be on so I can confirm O.

bluetickgal · August 2019

@m6agua thank you, it went very well! Sorry for the busy week, hope things calm down for the weekend! That stinks about the high temps, hopefully they’ll level off over the next several days so you can confirm O!

whitealbum29 · August 2019

@ttcbabyodo - that's great that you tricked (haha) H into mid week HIO! We have to do so much experimenting with what exactly works for them...on top of everything else we're doing! Whatever works....
@gingermama29 - hope you're feeling a bit less blah now!
@photographerwife - ooh hope you're having a fun date night! I love nose piercings and wish my nose wasn't so prominent...I wouldn't look good with one but think they're so pretty on a lot of ppl! I didn't know a piercing place wouldn't do it after you're KU...interesting!
@bluetickgal - great that you have a plan and that the appt went well!

@kpearse99 I know! I’ll have to get a good once once I clean it and get bathtub trim up, but that’s no biggie! It didn’t hurt too bad. I definitely felt it though, it’s cute!

@ttcbabyodo I hope everything goes well with the ob!

@bluetickgal FX that you do get KU in the next 6 months. Glad you have a solid plan now!

@m6agua I hate it when my temps get jacked. I feel like I’m all over the place so I hope they aren’t too bad. I’ve read that the inconsistency may not always be a big deal with night wakings and stuff, it just depends on the person.

@whitealbum29 yeah, they aren’t supposed to do them if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. I think it has to do with a risk for infection. My nose isn’t really small. But I recently cut my hair and am looking extra “mom-ish” lately. So I wanted to change it up a bit. Lol
