Month/Cycle: 9/10

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, tracking CM

R/R: Happy Friday! It’s going to beautiful this weekend but sadly I don’t think it will be warm enough to go to the pool. I know there’s a lot of fall hype but I’m not ready! Our neighborhoods community day is tomorrow so we are going to see what that’s all about. At least the mild weather will be good for that? Have a great weekend everyone!

CS/Q: I have been ovulating earlier lately but OPKs are still pretty light. I don’t mind though, any change from the norm makes me think “maybe this will be the thing that makes the difference!”

inthewoods23 · August 2019

@bows22 it was still cold for us back in May. I hope summer sticks around a little longer too!

Month/Cycle: 27/24

CD: uhhhh 7

WAYDTGKU: FET in 18 days

R/R: with the customer visit I had yesterday, I've banked enough summer hours this week that I can leave around 12:30! Woohoo! I might seriously go to the zoo after work because why not! Buuut I do need to buy shoes for my friend's wedding. I scheduled an alterations appointment for next week and they said to bring the shoes I plan on wearing so I might need to do that instead.

CS/Q: nope

jrouge12 · August 2019

@bows22 Very happy Friday! Hahah it won't be warm but I'm going to bully all my camping group to the beach anyway. I love cooler temps. Have fun at community day! And FX to earlier ovulation!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs

R/R: We're off camping today. The weather is looking to be very much on our side. Hopefully we leave when I want, I didn't do nearly enough yesterday. But I did charge all of our battery back-ups for cellphones, froze a ton of ice, and chilled the adult beverages. That's the essentials? If I don't respond much past this morning and the rest of the weekend I guess we're off the grid. I've never been to this site before.

CS/Q: My OPK was still light but there was still a line. I'm sure cooler nights camping and waking up to weird bird noises 2 hours before I'd normally temp will not reflect favorably on my chart.

bows22 · August 2019

@inthewoods23 go to the zoo!!

@jrouge12 have fun camping!! sounds like a great weekend!

bluetickgal · August 2019

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

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: Benched...SHG next cycle and will restart Letrozole the next cycle & add in progesterone.

R/R: Happy Friday!! I’m so excited for the weekend...we are supposed to have good weather, so we are taking the dogs to the dog park tomorrow! The big dog loves it, because she loves all people & dogs...she has literally never met a stranger. Our little one is not a huge fan, but she needs to be socialized more...we got her as a pup so she doesn’t know much other than us!

CS/Q: None.

@bows22 woohoo, we made it to Friday! That stinks you won’t be able to go to the pool, but hopefully the community day is fun! Is it like a neighborhood festival? Hope O is right around the corner for you! I can totally relate to thinking it’s a good sign when things are different from past cycles! Really hope this is it for you!!

@inthewoods23 yay for a half day and starting the weekend early!! Oooh, the zoo sounds fun!! Can you do both zoo and shoe shopping?

@jrouge12 hope you have a great time camping and the weather cooperates perfectly! Have fun being off the grid...sometimes that’s nice, especially when you can enjoy nature!!

inthewoods23 · August 2019

@jrouge12 have fun camping! Enjoy the good weather!

@bluetickgal have fun at the dog park! I probably could fit the zoo then shoe shopping. Our zoo isn't a full day affair. We can get through it all in 2.5 hours.

bows22 · August 2019

@bluetickgal yes it’s a neighborhood festival! It’s in 2 locations and it seems like 1 is more family oriented and the other is adult oriented so I’m hoping there will be beer. Your outdoor plans for the weekend sound good too! I hope both pups have fun!

gingermama29 · August 2019

@bows22 enjoy community day tomorrow! That sounds really fun!

@inthewoods23 yay for getting to leave work early! The zoo sounds like fun. Shoe shopping can always happen later.

@jrouge12 glad the weather is going to cooperate for camping. Definitely sounds like a fun weekend on tap.

@bluetickgal sounds like it'll be a fun weekend!

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 24

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CF, FF, prenatals

R/R: I got super annoyed with Amazon yesterday. I ordered a workout video set that I used to really enjoy doing and they had guaranteed delivery yesterday. They cancelled my order yesterday because they couldn't get the item (it was through a 3rd party seller). Fine, whatever. I can get it from another seller. Except when I went to get it from another seller, I see it's available again though the same one saying to buy now cause there's only one left in stock. I chose a different 3rd party than the original when I ordered again. Here's hoping I actually get it.

**Lurking from TWW

@inthewoods23 What date do they use to calculate due date for a FET? Would you eek into May? Asking for a friend who is 100% counting her chickens before they hatch.

ETA lurk

tyrion_ · August 2019

@bows22 Enjoy your community day!

@inthewoods23 Have a nice half day! When do your summer hours end? We never had anything like that down here because eternal summer 🙄

@jrouge12 Have fun this weekend!

@bluetickgal Enjoy the good weather and dog park tomorrow!

@gingermama29 That’s really irritating.

Month/Cycle: 4/4 AL

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, EPO, CM, Preseed, softcups, OPKs

R/R: so excited for the weekend! College football is back tomorrow! Go Gators! We’ll be heading to Game Day at Magic Kingdom and then watching the game at my sister’s house. It’ll be a fun/stressful night, as she went to Miami and is rooting for the wrong team. Hopefully we come out of tomorrow night still friends.

CS/Q: Nothing to see. Just 4 dots still.

rachelg777 · August 2019

@bows22 That sounds fun really fun! I've been wanting to get out and do more stuff like that.
@inthewoods23 That's awesome! Have a great afternoon!
@jrouge12 Have fun camping - enjoy being off the grid if you are.

@bluetickgal Sounds like a fun and relaxing weekend.
@gingermama29 Ugh sorry about the video troubles, we rarely have trouble with Amazon but when we do it seems like we really do lol. Hope you get it this time!
@tyrion_ lol to coming out still friends. Have fun, sounds like a great day!

rachelg777 · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 6/4

CD: 22

WAYDTGKU:BBT, ovusense, tracking CM & CP, OPK's

R/R: Got a nice temp spike this morning with my BBT but not my ovusense. Wondering if I O'd overnight and that's why? Anyway, hoping they agree tomorrow as the same thing happened last cycle. The weather is supposed to be more mild here too so I'm excited for that. Hoping we can get out of the house for something fun besides all the unpacking we are still working on!

Morning ladies!!

It's Fri-YAY!!

Month/Cycle: 11/9 (AL)

CD:19

WAYDTGKU: preseed, EOD, CM (although I really haven't noticed much around the FW the last 3 cycles), PNV, OPK, Letrozole (Trigger and IUI next cycle)

R/R: I think I'm gonna hang out here for another week - I'm gonna keep doing OPKs and see if I get another surge. I'm so confused by all that's been going on with my cycles (the last 2 months being 38 and 40 day cycles and now the latest with did I O or not and the confusion with my follies and blood-work not matching up). I'm trying really hard not to get discouraged though! I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend by the pool to take my mind off of things.

CS/Q:

inthewoods23 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll I think the assumption is made that you're like, 3w+some days on transfer day and they add 200 some days to get a due date. If I go by LMP, calculators tell me may 23rd, using 9/10 as the conception date says June 2nd. The FET due date calculators say may 28th so I would consider late May my due date.

And yes... DH and I have already discussed when we plan on telling family. End if 1st Tri would be right around thanksgiving. I'm also already counting my chickens 😆

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/rz/43y2znlngwfy.gif

@gingermama29 I've had issues with Amazon with items that had 1 day delivery with prime. This last order I actually got the items the next day as promised, but prior times to that it was always delayed a day. So stupid.

@tyrion_ next week is the last week before summer hours end. It always goes memorial week - week before labor day

@rachelg777 nice spike!

kpearse99 · August 2019

@bows22 I know it's not going to be a hot weekend but we are still going to the pool haha I'm getting every last minute I possibly can!

@inthewoods23 I'm so jealous of you being done at 12:30 today! I am so not in the frame of mind to be at work ugh! I say... go to the zoo AND get your shoes!!

@jrouge12 have a great time camping!!!

@bluetickgal I wish we could take our dogs to the park!! Our little one (and oldest) has little-big dog syndrome and barks at all the big dogs. And our youngest pup is afraid of her own shadow

also - she SUCKS in the car! We really need to break her of that!

saladflambe · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: trying cycle days 10, 12, 14, 16, possibly 18 we'll see. Will temp next cycle.

R/R: I did not, in any way, decrease my caffeine intake today lol... I will try not to buy more energy drinks after I finish the ones I have. It's just tough bc coffee likes to try to come back up if I run or anything.

CS/Q: Nothin'

mvt2003 · August 2019

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, PNVs, SMEP, Pre-Seed

R/R: Well, ladies, we actually did start day 1 of SMEP with the Pats game on in the background....

It's still very early in my month, so it's not like I'm even really in FW yet (if I go by my "normal" O date, I'm still 6 days away), but it felt good to get things rolling!

Still holding strong on the low-carb eating, this weekend is when the challenge will begin though. MH bought a few keto items from amazon the other day and wrapped them up for me when I got home from work, he called it "keto Christmas" and one of the items was a keto brownie mix. Dying to try that!

CS/Q: High temp this morning that I had to discard - I woke up with a leg cramp 15 minutes before my normal temp time, jumped out of bed to stop the cramp without checking the clock/temping. Oh well, it's still early!!

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@inthewoods23 OMG May 23 is MY birthday! It's a sign! It's GOTTA be May! Also, I mostly hope we go into May together so we can annoy the crap out of everyone with that meme.

kpearse99 · August 2019

@mvt2003 OMG that's hysterical!!! Go PATS!?! Let me know how that keto brownie mix is!!

mvt2003 · August 2019

@bows22 That sounds fun!! Have a great time at community day!!!

@inthewoods23 I say leave today!! Not many "summer Fridays" left, why not take advantage!!!

@jrouge12 have a great trip!!

@bluetickgal Have a great time at the dog park!! The pups should have so much fun!!

@gingermama29 That's so frustrating!! What workout video is it? I love trying new ones!!

@tyrion_ Have so much fun!!! Jealous of your FL residency!!!

@rachelg777 That's a nice temp spike!!! FX for you!!

@kpearse99 FX you get some answers soon! And remember if nothing else, next cycle you have a plan!!!

@saladflambe Here's hoping for you!! Also, I feel like even *attempting* to decrease your caffeine intake counts

bluetickgal · August 2019

@inthewoods23 sounds good, hopefully you can make both happen then!

@bows22 sounds like fun! Enjoy!!

@gingermama29 thanks! Ugh, that’s super annoying about the package! Hope you get it this time from the different seller!

@tyrion_ thanks! Sounds like a great day tomorrow! Gators though...I’ll try not to hold that against you! Go Wildcats!! 💙

@rachelg777 thanks! Hope O is more clear tomorrow! Have a good weekend...hope you can do something fun to take a break from packing!

@kpearse99 I’m hanging out here indefinitely at this point! I really hope you O’d or you’ll get a peak soon to clear up the confusion a bit! Hope you have a great, relaxing weekend! Haha, our little one kind of has the little-big dog syndrome too...she gets very territorial/protective of us, so we’re basically not allowed to pet the other dogs! I’m hoping it gets better the more we go though! Is the young one the one you have in your profile photo? She is adorable!! Hope she gets better in the car!

@saladflambe that sounds like a good plan to just not buy more energy drinks. Good luck with that!

@mvt2003 thanks! Yay for starting SMEP! Ah, that was sweet of your husband to surprise you with keto Christmas! ☺️ Hope the brownies are yummy!!

kpearse99 · August 2019

@bluetickgal yup - that's her!! Although she's way bigger than that now (when we rescued her at 8 weeks they predicted she'd be 25lbs.... she's 50!!) She drools SO much in the car, like gets a santa beard of foam. It's gross! She used to throw up in the car too but thankfully that got better too... we need to start taking her in the car for very quick trips, like around the block, to show her that you don't always go to bad places (IE the vet) when you go in the car.

shamrocandroll · August 2019

**still lurking from TWW

@kpearse99 Bring little broken up pieces of cheese or tiny training bites with you when you bring her for short trips to get her used to the car. It'll help her realize the car isn't always for scary things, and also "Oooooh, treats!!!"

inthewoods23 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll you can bet that meme is going in my intro if I make it there 😆

bows22 · August 2019

@gingermama29 ew I would be annoyed too! I hope you get it

@tyrion_ how long have you been a gators fan?? Embarrassing but I used to have a thing for Rex Grossman haha

@rachelg777 yeah that’s definitely a nice spike! Hopefully ovusense catches up to BBT. We always try to have a mix of productive and fun weekends but we usually end up with fun/lazy instead. Which is why we still aren’t unpacked haha.

@kpearse99 as curious as I am about what is going on with your long cycles, I hope you never get any answers and are just KU instead!

@mvt2003 there are worse ways to start FW than with the reigning super bowl champs!

mvt2003 · August 2019

@bows22 Ha I wasn't mad about it, even though at one point I was asked to move my head because he wanted to see a turnover!

kpearse99 · August 2019

@bows22 me too, girl!! Me too!!!

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@mvt2003

Dead. Tom Brady wouldn't be the worst way to get me in the mood. Stidham isn't too awful to look at either.

gingermama29 · August 2019

@tyrion_ oh that sounds like a fun weekend, minus rooting for different teams. Enjoy!

@rachelg777 I hope you're able to get out and do something fun! Definitely sounds like you could use it with all the unpacking you've been doing.

@kpearse99 sorry your cycle has been so frustrating and confusing. Enjoy the pool time!

@inthewoods23 agreed! I normally don't have issues with Amazon other than the rare delivery day being off, but that's only happened once or twice. That's what made this extra annoying

@saladflambe sounds like not buying more will be a good plan. Good luck!

@mvt2003 it's called Real Moves. It's part of the Real Appeal program, which is a program done through United Healthcare for their employees. My best friend works for them and let me borrow her DVDs a few years ago and I really liked them. They were good workouts without being too difficult for a beginner and there were several different levels. Yay for starting SMEP!! (but boo to the Pats 🤣 I'm a Bills fan so I extra hate the Pats).

@bluetickgal and @bows22 thanks! I'm hoping so too.

mvt2003 · August 2019

@shamrocandroll Exactly!!!!! I mean, I could probably do without Hoyer, just being honest.

But overall, still ok with it!

bluetickgal · August 2019

@kpearse99 our little one is the opposite, we were told what the mom & dad were...turns out they were wrong and the dad was not a large hound!

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/tl/2csm805z4psa.jpeg

We thought she’d be 50 lbs or so and she is about 30...so not really small, but much smaller than we expected! Ah, the Santa beard...I’m sure that’s annoying but also kind of cute! Maybe the short trips and treats like @shamrocandroll recommended will help. We’ve been lucky that ours do well I the car, even though they don’t love it!

mvt2003 · August 2019

@gingermama29 Thanks! That looks great! Have you tried the Daily Burn? They're a streaming service with a good "True Beginner" series that we like too!

Also, guess we'll be on opposite cheering sides of the AFC East this season!!

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@mvt2003 @gingermama29

kpearse99 · August 2019

@mvt2003 Brady was looking at you like...

Hey girl!

Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/64jVVzB87tzG/giphy.gif

Also - just did an OPK and got another peak.... I'm certainly going to keep testing once or twice a day for the next week!

gingermama29 · August 2019

@mvt2003 I haven't tried Daily Burn but Hulu used to advertise to me all the time! I might have to check that out. And at least we can agree to hate the Jets and Dolphins, right? 🤣

mvt2003 · August 2019

Omg @kpearse99 I'm literally on the floor right now. Dead.

100% agreed @gingermama29 !!!

shamrocandroll · August 2019

@gingermama29 Any Pats fan will jump all over any opportunity to hate on the Jets. But at least they consistently keep your guys out of last place in the East!

kpearse99 · August 2019

@mvt2003 I hope you picture that the next time you DTD with a game on!

saladflambe · August 2019
