Re: WTO Friday 11/22
Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD: 22
WAYDTGKU: prenatals and temping but otherwise NTNP for a bit.
R/R: Nothing big planned for this weekend other than cleaning the house and getting things ready to travel next week for Thanksgiving. DH is working Saturday afternoon but we'll get all of Sunday together.
CS/Q: my temps have been all over the place the last week.
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: BBT, tracking in FF, OPKs, etc etc...
R/R: after today, DH is on vacation!! Hallelujah. It’ll be so nice to have him home all next week. We go to Thanksgiving at my parents house which is essentially down the street, so no crazy travel to prepare for. It’ll be really nice!
CS/Q: just waiting on those crosshairs
@kmalls So glad you get to enjoy time with YH when he’s on vacation!

WAYDTGKU: Does panicking count? MH and I had planned on DTD every third day this cycle... Buttt last night I started getting nervous that tonight would be maybe too late, and when I got a ton of EWCM last night I immediately texted him with our “revised bang-genda” (Yes, really. Ugh, I’m the worst.) and we HIO when he got home from work. Maybe we should squeeze another in today?
R/R: If someone had told me five years ago that one day I would be online discussing my sex life and cervical fluids in detail with complete strangers, I would have laughed in their face. You never know what road life is going to take you down lol. Thank you for listening to me, complete strangers ❤️
CS/Q:
CD: 19
WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, Metformin, prenatal, Conceive Plus, HIO at least EOD, re-starting OPK’s this cycle, temping/tracking with FF, and progesterone after O.
R/R: Happy Friday everyone!! We are having family over this weekend, so I’m looking forward to that! We get to show off our living room...and we will probably be spending a lot of time in there since it’s supposed to rain & be gross all weekend!
CS/Q: O may have been yesterday...or may be today...or may be next week! Haha, only time will tell at this point!
@gingermama29 hope you have a somewhat relaxing weekend, even with the cleaning! We have to travel next weekend too, so I’m happy we don’t this weekend! Sorry I’ve been complaining about O being delayed when I know your cycles are way longer!! I’ve not been very sensitive to that, so I do apologize! 😕
@kmalls hope you and YH enjoy some time together while he is on vacation! That’s nice you won’t have to travel for Thanksgiving!
@ssbl glad you got some extra timing in last night!! Haha, I feel ya...I never imagined I’d be sharing this much personal info with people on the internet! We are all in the same boat though!
Month/Cycle: 14/12
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: 7.5 of letrozole, Trigger, IUI and Progesterone starting 3 days after O/IUI
R/R: I had my monitoring appointment this morning and it went super well. We are on the schedule for the IUI on Sunday morning and I will trigger tonight (just waiting for bloodwork results to confirm). I had 3 follies on my right side at 17mm, 19mm and 24mm so those eggs are ready to go! And my lining was at 8.4mm which is great for me! Let's do this thing!
I am so happy it's Friday. This work week SUCKED and I am so glad it's over. Although, Monday will be a nightmare but then it will calm down. I'm looking forward to a calm and chill weekend. My friends are getting engaged tonight so we'll be celebrating with them tomorrow night!!
CS/Q: Not charting!
@gingermama29 where are you guys traveling too? Maybe I missed that in an earlier post, and if so - I'm sorry!
@kmalls my parents live down the street too! And MH's parents too
@ssbl "bang-genda" I'm dying!!!! That's amazing!!! Follow your gut - if it tells you to HIO then have at it, girl!! Get yours! haha
@bluetickgal I hope you have a great weekend with your company! Get some games ready for a rainy day game night! Those are always fun... especially when wine is involved!

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.
@kmalls yay for YH on vacation!! Enjoy all that extra time together!
@ssbl hahaha hell no. I hate cleaning (though love how things look after it happens). Hahahaha it's fine what TTC does for conversation norms. I'm glad we have such an open and supportive forum though.
@bluetickgal enjoy your weekend! And girl, you have nothing to apologize for. You are absolutely allowed to complain about delayed O. It's an incredibly frustrating thing to experience! I've never once been even remotely offended by you complaining about it. We all have things that are challenging in TTC and I'm happy we can openly discuss things here. Complain away! 😊
@kpearse99 glad things are looking great for IUI #3!!! FX that your body agrees with the old saying, the third time's a charm! Crossing everything for you again!
@gingermama29 it's great you are staying at a hotel for space! I'd do the same thing
@kmalls hope you get the CH soon!
@ssbl haha the revised bang-agenda cracked me up!
@bluetickgal Yay, your living room is so pretty that I am sure everyone loves it! Hope you get the confirmation of ovulation soon!
@kpearse99 I am so happy for you! Glad that your body responds to letrozole well! I am among the majority people that letrozole only stim one mature egg, so I switched to Clomid

WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPK, just saw RE
R/R: Appointment with RE went okay...I wanted him to say that we are probably fine and should exercise some patience and just keep BDing, but he basically said that since we were there, there is likely a problem and we should address it quickly. He also seemed concerned that my cycles have gone from being about 28-29 days to now averaging 26. He was just kind of negative but then said he's been in the business of getting women pregnant for 20 years and I shouldn't worry because he's going to make it happen for us. Ugh. He was kind of annoying LOL. (also, side note...why must all of this be called INFERTILITY (ie...you do not have INFERTILITY coverage so payment for services are patient responsibility. Can't the industry call this something more positive, like fertility assistance??? Makes me so angry...sorry, rant over). Anyway DH and I will be getting preliminary testing next week and then meeting with RE again on 12/6 to go over results and based on them come up with a game plan. It feels good to at least have a course of action and be taking proactive steps since we are both 34 and haven't had children yet...and we'll keep trying on our own too because, why the heck not?
CS/Q: not temping
@kmalls enjoy the extra time with DH
@ssbl totally feel you re discussing personal details with strangers haha! Feels good to have some where to vent and dump my BSC so I can try to be "normal" the rest of the day (or at least try haha!)
@bluetickgal so fun to get to show off your new living room! it's so pretty
@kpearse99 enjoy a MUCH deserved relaxing weekend and celebrating your newly engaged friends!
