Re: WTO Weekend 8/17-8/18
Month/Cycle: 22/25. This seems weird but I guess with a lot of 26 day cycles, maybe?
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: letrozole + trigger + TI
R/R: I’m sad but it’s not like this was unexpected. Off to research supplements etc that don’t interfere with letrozole...I’m at least glad that AF held off a couple days from when I originally thought she arrived because now we’ll have a better shot at timing. We don’t have any plans this weekend so some self-pity lounging will probably be happening
CS/Q: nothing to see yet
@b_1029 Sorry about CD1. Get some good AF self-pity lounging in...lots of chocolate maybe?
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs
R/R: Checking in early and then I'll catch up tonight! I'm not sure what we're doing on our trip today but a winery is only a 1/2 mile down the road from where were staying. A tasting sounds good to me!
CS/Q: I haven't even checked the recall on my thermometer from this morning's temp but I woke up every hour and felt hot all night so I'm thinking it won't be super reliable.
@b_1029 sorry for CD 1. I hope you're able to relax and enjoy a quiet weekend.
@jrouge12 oooh a wine tasting sounds awesome. Hope you're able to do that.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CF, FF, prenatals
R/R: Heading to see the ILs this weekend. Excited for a date night with DH tonight! He ended up having to work an hour later than scheduled yesterday which sucked but the silver lining is that was overtime so more money.
CS/Q: no
@jrouge12 oooo a wine tasting does sound amazing!!!
Month/Cycle: 11/9 (AL)
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: PNV, preseed, EOD, CM, OPK - letrozole, trigger and IUI
R/R: I go back to the RE this morning to see how much more my eggs have “cooked” for and if we are ready to do this whole trigger and IUI thing!! I’m so excited! Hopefully everything is ready to go... I got a high OPK last night so maybe I’ll even be ready to O without the trigger! I’ll keep you all posted 💜

@b_1029 that makes me so happy to hear that AF held off for a few days so that your timing isn’t so messed up. Now you can enjoy the bachelorette party!
@jrouge12 a winery sounds great! have fun!
@gingermama29 have fun on your date night! what are you guys doing?
@kpearse99 I can’t wait to hear about your eggs haha! I’m so excited for you!
Month/Cycle: 9/10
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, tracking CM
R/R: On our way home from the beach. We had an amazing time. Aside from feeling bad that I didn’t post on here much, I am in a much better mindset. I have been reading and rooting everyone on❤️but just needed a break from my own TTC journey. I’m ready to get back to it now though!
CS/Q: I did temp the past few days but they weren’t at my normal time so FF is not going to be happy with me
@jrouge12 enjoy the winery if you go!
@gingermama29 what do you have planned for your date night?
@kpearse99 hope those eggs are good and ready to go for the perfect timing for your IUI!
Month/Cycle: 27/24
CD: 1 😎😎
WAYDTGKU: T-minus 24 days to FET
R/R: I woke up to AF and couldn't be more excited!! Bleeding from my hysteroscopy was still going on into yesterday, but it was very light so waking up this morning and seeing that I had a fully soaked pantiliner, I knew she had arrived!
I think we'll be finishing up the painting of our bathroom today. I'll get a picture of it then! Once paint is dry we can put the mirror and hardware back up that doesn't interfere with the wood planks to be put on 2 walls. It's coming along nicely!

@b_1029 I’m so sorry for CD 1. I’m right behind you and will be WTO today or tomorrow. My 5k was this morning and of course I started having cramps. You lead the way to May! I’ll very happily follow you there!
@bows22 so glad you’re in a better mindset and that you had a great vacay!! Safe travels back home and can’t wait for us all to join JT in singing “it’s gonna be maaaaay!!!”

@b_1029 I’m sorry about CD1.
@jrouge12 Hope you enjoyed your tasting if that’s what you ended up doing!
@gingermama29 ohh have fun on your date night! What are you going to do?
@kpearse99 glad everything looked good on ultrasound and that she thinks it will work out with your trip! I’m sure that is stressful for you.
@bows22 so glad you had an amazing time!

R/R: woof, so tired from moving all day. But oh man, it feels so amazing to finally live in the same place. I’m so happy. Plus, I’m getting a pedi right now and life can’t be bad when that’s happening.
CS/Q:
@kpearse99 Yay for 5! FX for Thursday!
@bows22 Glad you had a great time at the beach!
@inthewoods23 Yay for AF then! Nice that the BR is almost done too.
@rachelg777 So happy you guys are together now. A pedi sounds perfect after a day of moving!!
@bows22, @inthewoods23, @rachelg777 we went out to a sports bar and had bar food, drinks, and did trivia. It was super chill and we had a great time just the two of us.
@kpearse99 that's so exciting! Glad the follies look good!!
@bows22 glad you had a good vacation and TTC break!
@inthewoods23 yay for FET cycle!! Glad AF timing worked out.
@rachelg777 hope your enjoyed your pedi. Sounds like a great treat after a long day of moving.
@bows22 Resets are good. It can be really hard to escape the emotions of TTC and it can be good to step away from the boards sometimes to take a break from the pressure. Glad you had a good time.
@rachelg777 Pedicures are the best! I wish I had one of those massage chairs in my house. I would use it every single day!
@inthewoods23 Hooray for FET cycle! Can’t wait to see your bathroom update. DH just fell going down the stairs and broke some Sheetrock going to the basement, so I’m hoping we can just rip out all of the bathroom Sheetrock and tile when we replace it and the hallway part I broke with the gate. Oops!!

R/R: Had a fun morning at Disney. AF was nice enough to wait until I was back in the car to try and take me down. Now I’m cuddled on the couch with horrible cramps and a soft blanket hoping this is my last period for a looooooooong time.
CS/Q: Nothing yet. Will start temping again tomorrow or the next day.
@kpearse99 FX so hard for you this cycle!!! Love the gif @inthewoods23 keeps posting, "Its gonna be May!" Yes, may it be May for you both!!!
@tyrion_ Very envious of your Disney trip. Happy to hear you had a good time though.Haven't been in over 20 years. Living in Canada does make it a bit of a challenge. I'm in the same boat as you with that @mindyb2019
