Month/Cycle: 11/12

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, tracking CM.

R/R: Work work work. I was planning to work some at home last night and I realized when I got home I had my computer bag but my laptop wasn’t in it 🤦🏼‍♀️. I’m starting to stress but hopefully I’ll feel better once I get started working today. My rave is that we bought a new couch over the weekend for our den (something we have been wanting to do for over a year) and I’m obsessed. We really wanted a comfy tv watching couch so we got one of those loveseat dual recliners with cup holders in the middle. It’s honestly not that practical for company but oh well. Our old couch is now in the previously empty “living room” so we will just use that room when we have people over. It’s bigger anyway. Can you tell I’m throwing myself into getting my house set up as a distraction from TTC?

@bows22 comfy furniture is the best! Hope your stress eases once you get to work. I hate that feeling of "I'm going to do this today!" followed by the annoyance of realizing you're missing a critical piece and can't do what you wanted to do.

WAYDTGKU: waiting for more BW results, otherwise, temping, OPKs

R/R: rant - maybe TMI, but I think I have a yeast infection and I'm hoping I can get rid of it by the weekend when we need to BD for O!

Rave - when we have all employee meetings, we get a free lunch so I look forward to that today 🙂

CS/Q: nothing special. The OPK had a squinter of a line.

@inthewoods23 yes I sabotaged my own productivity! I hope you can thwart the yeast infection, as if they aren’t bad enough that would be inconvenient timing!

WAYDTGKU: Tracking so far.

R/R: So of course I am torturing myself as to what-went-wrong. So far I have convinced myself it was the antibiotics I was on for the UTI, it was because I know I have adhesions from my C section, and because DH works in plastics and doesn't shower when he gets home (like I asked) - I need to stay off google.
Going in to work today, and I am going to try to focus.

CS/Q: I have no idea what this cycle will be like.

@inthewoods23 I always make wholesalers bring lunch for the whole office.
@bows22 we bought a sectional a few years ago - they are kinda fugly, but it's soooo comfy. And my husband is 6'4, so this is the first couch he can actually lay down on.

WAYDTGKU: IF testing now

R/R: Got my CD3 BW back yesterday, no interpretation from the doctor yet (it literally hit my inbox at 5 as I was pulling out of my work parking lot!) but my amateur Google skills tell me that everything looks pretty normal.

Also, our PCP wrote the lab order!!!!!!!!!!! So freaking relieved! Also, it's food truck day at work, so I'm definitely going to see what I can scrounge that's keto-friendly!

CS/Q: Nope, still "forgetting" to temp, I think I'm just so stressed out about it.

feather_heather · October 2019

@bows22 - Ohhhh I love furniture shopping! I wish my DH would let me get a new couch. He bought ours before we met, and its a navy blue velvet (and while it's from West Elm and very nice) it shows every little speck of anything! I have to vacuum it daily! I loathe the stupid thing...

@inthewoods23 - Oh bummer! I know that all too well, as I used to have reoccurring ones (I'm talking monthly) for years. I think it was a result of being on a long term antibiotic for acne a few years ago, because I never got them before that. I was on a suppression therapy for a year, but once we started TTGP I had to stop. Thankfully they have finally stopped, but I found coconut oil suppositories to work well. I made my own by melting and then freezing coconut oil into water bottle ice cube trays. It's messy, but seemed to help!

@whatsbumpinpumpkin - Google is not your friend! Stay strong!

@mvt2003 - Yayyy! Glad your doctor ordered the test and didn't leave you guys in limbo for longer than necessary.

Month/Cycle: 14

CD: doesn't matter

WAYDTGKU: moving on to IVF

R/R: Nothing exciting going on over here today. Just gunna keep plugging thru this rainy work day. We have to close down the camper this weekend for the season for the first time, so I have been doing lots of research on best practices for that. I am so stressed that were gunna come back in the spring and a heard of mice will have made it their winter abode.

CS/Q: none

mvt2003 · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin So many creepy internet hugs. Hopefully work will be a good distraction today.

@inthewoods23 I love when we get lunch! It's oddly so motivating haha!

@bows22 we gave in on the "comfy" furniture a year or so ago and I don't regret it. We have an enormous reclining sectional that I said I would never have but I adore it. I'm all about my personal comfort these days!

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, Metformin, prenatal, Conceive Plus, HIO EOD, temping/tracking with FF, and adding in progesterone after O.

R/R: We had such an amazing time on vacation!! We definitely needed some time away to relax, and that is exactly what we got! We went on a boat tour yesterday and got to see dolphins...it was so cool! Heading back to reality now, but we were talking last night & said...luckily, we like our reality! ☺️ We have tomorrow off, which will be so nice to get settled back in at home...and do lots of laundry!! Spotting stopped on Saturday, so I think I made the right call with talking to the RE & counting that as my period! SHG is scheduled for Thursday!

CS/Q: None, will start back temping tomorrow.

@bows22 sorry about the lack of a laptop last night...but hopefully you can get caught up today! Oh, a new couch is exciting! We desperately need a new couch & love seat...hoping to get them soon!

@inthewoods23 yay for free lunch! Ugh, hope it’s not a UTI...or it goes away before the weekend if it is!! Sorry you didn’t have the best time at the wedding...sounds like it was so long, I would have been ready to get out of there!

@whatsbumpinpumpkin sending hugs!! 💜 It is not your fault!! I totally get it though, I’ve blamed myself before too...but I know deep down there is nothing I could have done to prevent it from happening. I saw your question from yesterday, I would ask your doc about RPL testing...mine did it after 2 losses. Hope work is a good distraction today!

@mvt2003 glad you got in for BW and it looks normal. So glad you got the SA order and didn’t have to wait until November! Hope you find a yummy keto-friendly option at the food trucks!

@feather_heather hope closing down the camper isn’t too difficult...and definitely hope no mice set up camp inside it!!

inthewoods23 · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin googling TTC things is as bad as using the symptom checker on webMD. It tells you the worst possible thing so you regret even trying to learn information!

Me: *clicks sore throat*
WedMD: you have throat cancer
Me: 😱

@mvt2003 high five to your PCP! Happy to hear all the BW is looking good!

@bluetickgal I don't think it's a UTI since using the bathroom is no issue and not painful. I bought Monistat along with my OPKs on Amazon so I'm looking forward to that package! I didn't do the shuffle to the bathroom after BD last week so I'm sure that led to this. 😬 Oh well, should be gone in a few days!

bluetickgal · October 2019

@inthewoods23 sorry, I actually meant to say yeast infection...but that’s good it’s not a UTI! Hopefully the Monistat clears it up quickly! Haha, I love that we can buy TTC items through Amazon...takes away the awkwardness of buying that stuff in the store!

bows22 · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin you already know to stay off of google so I won’t say that 🙂 but if you do keep reading make sure you notice all of the articles that say that those things make NO difference too.

@mvt2003 yay I’m so glad your PCP wrote the order!! And that dr google says that your bloodwork looks good

@feather_heather good luck with the camper, the internet is wonderful for stuff like that! I’m sure if you do your research you’ll be fine. But I would have nightmares about the mice too haha

@bluetickgal I’m glad you had a great time on vacation and that you didn’t have to deal with AF while away! We always say the same thing after vacations, we love traveling but we love coming home too!

NamelessAria · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin I know that you already know this but it isn't your fault. It didn't happen because of something you did or didn't do. It is so wholly unfair how many women have to go through miscarriage. I'm sorry that you are also in the shitty club of the 20%.

tyrion_ · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin I play that game, too. And it sucks. I am a person that needs answers and I find I do this in attempt to try to control the uncontrollable. Explain something that will never be explained. It sucks so badly and I’m sorry you’re going through this. Big hugs. If you want to chuckle a bit my husband has been forbidden to wear underwear the last 5 months because I convinced myself that was the issue. Janky, underwear strangled sperm 😂

@inthewoods23 Hope your YI clears out soon so you can BD this weekend.

@mvt2003 HECK YEA, PCP! So glad they were agreeable to writing the script.

@bows22 those types of couches are so worth it. Congrats on a comfy setup!

WAYDTGKU: bbt, opk, cm, pnv, charting, hio

R/R: I feel kind of silly now for freaking out about my birthday yesterday because it actually ended up being really nice. H came home earlier than I expected and surprised me with flowers, new boots, and a cake. And then we went out to dinner later at night. So needless to say he made up for it and things worked out. pics in spoiler if you care to look. The boots are replacing the ones I had for 4 years that I loved but my dog chewed up, they're steve madden. Also had a good day at work today which was surprising!

CS/Q:

My opk is getting darker! Still not as dark as the control but it's so close! I expect a + tomorrow or the next day. I usually get O pain around CD 13 but my temp rises a couple days after. My theory is that I get my surge the same day as O pain but then I O closer to the 36 hours after. I'm interested to see what happens. Going to try for hio tomorrow, thursday, and friday. and then maybe sunday.

@Bows22 i'm sorry work has been so stressful! hope you can catch up and get some relief soon. That's exciting that you got a new couch! New furniture is the best. Especially after waiting so long!

@inthewoods23 fx that YI gets cleared up asap!! free lunch sounds sooo good

@whatsbumpinpumpkin i'm sorry you're going through this right now it wasn't anything you did/didn't do. ((big hugs))

@mvt2003 hoping the doc thinks everything is normal!! & yay for the pcp giving you the order for the sa!! wonderful news!

@feather_heather fx no critters make a home out of your camper!!

@bluetickgal i'm so happy to hear you had a great vacation!! i'm sure that was much needed. yay for moving forward with testing

inthewoods23 · October 2019

@konoha love those boots! I have a similar pair but a different brand. Can't go wrong with that style

swizzlemalarkey · October 2019

@inthewoods23 agreed!!! my other pair were starting to wear in the sole but I wore them like every day through all types of weather. It was worth it to me to get another pair very similar because they're so reliable and versatile!

bluetickgal · October 2019

@konoha thanks!! Happy Belated Birthday!! Glad you had a good day...beautiful flowers & cute boots!

swizzlemalarkey · October 2019

@bluetickgal you're welcome! & thank you!!!
