    CD: 25

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, tracking CF, using FF, OPKs, prenatals

    R/R: ugh temp is down this morning which means I still haven't O'd. Super frustrating. I O'd on CD 26 last cycle so hopefully it'll be any day now. But I'm still here and annoyed at my body.

    @gingermama29 sorry there's no sign of O yet! I hate those cycles when you're sitting there still waiting to O and everybody seems to be moving into their next cycle already because their cycles are 28 days.

    Month/Cycle: 28/23

    CD: 6

    WAYDTGKU: SHG and BW

    R/R: the sirens went off last night around 10 for a potential tornado and I was not chill about that. I get so anxious and start thinking about losing everything we own and also whether or not we'll be able to wrangle my cat and get her downstairs. Watching the movie Twister as a kid did not do me good lol. Eventually we saw that the warning would expire due to the storm weakening to a point it wouldn't produce a tornado so that was a relief. That rain though... Our front yard is flooded in the ditch area next to the road (like a culvert?). We did lose power at some point last night but it must have been brief.

    CS/Q: on the up and up.

    @inthewoods23 yay a friend over here! I was feeling lonely all by myself in this thread. The tornado sirens would have also terrified me, especially happening that late. I have horrible anxiety for severe weather, specifically tornadoes, but I get anxious with thunderstorms and high winds too. I'm glad the storm weakened though! Sorry your yard is flooded. That's never fun.

    @gingermama29 yeah some weather I'm fine, but DH started joking about the sirens before they went off and I asked him to stop because it makes me anxious to even talk about the possibility of these things happening!

    @inthewoods23 my H is the same way. He loves severe weather and it took a long time for him to understand my anxiety about it and how I couldn't control how I felt about it. He's much better about being sensitive to my anxiety now.

    @gingermama29 speaking of anxiety! I could have added to my R/R that I got through a portion of the dirty dishes. Got through all the small stuff like knives, thermoses, etc. Did get to a few pans cleaned, but that's the majority that's left. But hey, a little more counterspace is available! 😁

    Hey friends! Sorry I’m late to the (very small) party today...just worked a 1/2 day this morning so had to get things done! But I am officially on vacation now! 

    Month/Cycle: 17/11/1 AL#2 

    CD: 59

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

    R/R: I’m stuck in this dumb cycle forever (sorry, being over-dramatic)!! Still spotting...cramping is off & on which I feel like doesn’t normally happen while just spotting. But no full flow, so I know it’s not technically CD1 yet! I guess my body is just waiting for the road trip or the beach! I’m off to start packing now...probably should have done some of that last night! 

    CS/Q: None.

    @gingermama29 so sorry O hasn’t happened yet! Hope it happens in the next couple of days though so you can move onto the TWW! 

    @inthewoods23 sorry for the anxiety with the sirens last night! Glad the storm weakened and nothing bad happened though! I’ve thought about it before if something were to happen and we had to get the cats out fast...I told DH we would need to stuff each in a pillow case or something, because they would freak out and run away once we got outside if we just carried them! We have crates for them, but they are in the garage. Hopefully none of us ever have to deal with that though! Yay for getting some of the dishes done!!

    lurking*** @bluetickgal could you maybe have O'd super super late and maybe this is implantation?!?! Am I just filling you with hopeful thoughts?!  :D

    BFP: 10/27/2011 |  EDD: 6/30/12
    DS born 6/28/12 via C/S 3 

    TTC #2: September 2018
    Me: 36 | DH: 39
    Mirena removed 9/13/2018 after 6 years
    BFP 11/11/2018 | MC @ 5.5 weeks on Thanksgiving
    July 2019 - Diagnosed with Secondary Unexplained IF
    August 2019 - 2.5 mg of Letrozole = Never Ovulated so Trigger and IUI were cancelled
    9/30/2019 - IUI #1 (5 mg of Letrozole + Trigger) =  BFP but Betas showed CP @ 4 weeks
    10/28/2019 - IUI #2 (7.5mg of Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN
    11/25/2019 - IUI #3 (7.5mg of Letrozole, Trigger + Crinone after IUI) = BFN
    12/24/2019 - IUI #4 (7.5mg of Letrozole + Crinone after IUI) = BFN
    1/24/2020 - IUI #5 (50mg of Clomid + Trigger + Crinone after IUI) = BFN and an Ovarian Cyst
    3/2/2020 - Taking a break to reset/NTNP
    11/1/2020 - At peace with where things are in life and are no long actively TTC. Whatever happens will happen and it will all be okay. <3

    @inthewoods23 thanks lady!! 

    @kpearse99 the meds are supposed to suppress O, so probably not. I did take a test Monday though, because I felt nauseous for a bit! 😂 Provera is not supposed to be taken if pregnant (I took tests before & while taking it to make sure I wasn’t), so I was somewhat relieved. I definitely appreciate the hopeful thoughts!

    Well I will join in then since this thread was nice and easy to read today!
    @bluetickgal I hope AF comes and goes in a hurry. I’m sure it’s incredibly frustrating!
    @gingermama29 I hope O is soon for you. Mine used to be irregular and later, so it was really hard to trust OPKs earlier on. 
    @inthewoods23 If it makes you feel any better, my sink is full of yesterday’s dishes. I took the Clomid at 7 and felt pretty gross soon after so I just went to bed and obviously DH didn’t do them. Not having a dishwasher sucks. 

    Month/Cycle: 10/10

    CD: 7

    WAYDTGKU: HIO, RE visits for US/BW, OPKs, checking CM and CP, BBT, Magnesium, B6, B complex, D3, Iron, Selenium, Prenatal with DHA, Vitex, CoQ10, Macca, monitoring at the RE + Clomid + Ovidrel + progesterone

    R/R: super hot today - 94 without AC when I left work. Luckily we hung in there. Tomorrow I have an observation first thing and then I have an SGO (student growth objective) to submit. I have to read all of their writing prompts, grade them, and then sort them into groups before writing rubric goals. I NEVER have even half the (paid) time I need to do paperwork that’s just loosely related to my job.

    @bows22 thanks friend!! Spotting has basically stopped now...I may call the RE later and see if I can just call that a light AF and start my Letrozole. Pretty positive they will tell me to wait though. We’ll see! I’ve got everything crossed for you and hoping today was just too early to test!!
