@inthewoods23 lucky you to be up early! Lol
hopefully you don’t have much mess, and yay for having some time off to relax!!
Lurking from TWW but definitely not pregnant this cycle, so I'll be back here in a day or so. I'm going to temp next cycle, and I had a couple of quick questions:
1. Do you temp during your period or wait til the bleeding stops to start?
2. If you wake up a zillion times to pee at night, at what point do you temp? Like, say my typical wake up for the day is 5am, but I wake up at 3am to pee, do I temp at 3 or wait til 5? What if I wake up at 4 to pee? Pee is a problem, folks lol.

1. I continuously temped so I did temp during my period, but that's not totally necessary to do.
2. If 3am is the first time you wake up in the night, temp before you get up to pee. There are sites you can go to that can adjust the temperature you got at 3am to estimate what it would be if you had not woken up and temped at 5am instead. Or don't try the adjustment and leave it as an open circle in FF. Up to you.

Month/Cycle: 13
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: On my third clomid/IUI cycle. The doctor upped my dose of Clomid, so we'll see if my follicles respond better then the last two cycles. I have my CD12 ultrasound and bloodwork on Monday.
R/R: I'm going to my first Red Sox game tomorrow and staying the night at a really fancy hotel in Boston (anniversary gift from the hubs). I was excited until my husband told me he might have to work (he's a lineman) and won't be able to go... We argued for like an hour last night and he ended up calling out sick today so that he can't get forced. If he worked today then they could force him to stay (they're not allowed to say no) so the only way to solve the issue was him calling out sick today. Might be the clomid-crazies talking, but I'm still annoyed that him skipping tomorrow to work was even an option in his mind.
CS/Q: nope
Month/Cycle: 11/9 (AL)

CS/Q:
@inthewoods23 how many days are you off for?!
@feather_heather Ummmm... I would have acted the same exact way!! Like, WTF?! It never should have been an option, especially since this was something HE planned for both of you. I hope you guys have a great time!
@ziggymama06 have an AMAZING time this weekend!!
@konoha I hope your first day back goes quickly!

@inthewoods23 how much time are you taking off after your FET?
@saladflambe 1. I typically don't temp while I have AF during the weekend so I dont have to wake up early. It's really personal preference though, but i dont think its necessary since i still have time to set a baseline after AF, before O.
2. Not sure the "correct" way, but I try to always temp at or close to my same time even if I was up in the middle of the night before that, since my middle of the night isnt consistent or usual. It can make rockier temps, but I can still pinpoint O. I think some of it is trial and error though on what works for you.
@feather_heather I'm glad he worked it out so he didnt have to work, but I can see why you would be annoyed at him. Did he expect you to just go alone or also cancel your plans?

@millpe - This has happened before and I've had to find someone to go to a show or concert with at the very last minute (like 2 hours before a show). So I think he expected me to find someone - like yes, I'd like to spend a romantic evening at a fancy hotel with my mother?
@millpe ehhhh you needed the morning off to work up your energy for all you have to do!

Sounds like a fun time, though! I love weddings 😊
