WAYDTGKU: IVF - FET

R/R: Not much going on today, it snowed, but DH was home this morning to shovel the driveway. I did a short cardio session on the elliptical last night after work and I felt so much better afterwards. I need to remember that feeling whenever I'm complaining I'm too tired to do it. I'm going to try to keep up with it until the transfer, then I may take a few days off, and then start back up with very light/slow sessions (in order to keep my heart rate below 120).

CS/Q: Not temping anymore

WAYDTGKU: biopsy of lining

R/R: I told DH I would call our EAP today to get me on the path of seeing a therapist. It was a bad day yesterday. But then I walked into the robotics meeting and some of the students are giggling. DH tells me I have a doppleganger on the team and that he'll tell me about it after the opening meeting. Come to find out one of the guys also has a thigh length green winter jacket with fur on the hood and from behind you might mistake him for me. He's got longish wavy brown hair and with a beanie cap on you probably wouldn't know who was who from behind. The scary thing is he dressed as DH for the meeting we had on Halloween. These kids are a little obsessed with us 😆

CS/Q: nope

@feather_heather glad your cardio session helped last night! Hopefully you can keep it going if it helps you feel better to do it.
@inthewoods23 I'm sorry you've been having such a rough time. I hope therapy is helpful for you. That story about the kid from the robotics meeting is so cute.

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, EOD, prenatals+B6

R/R: Winter sucks. Arthritis sucks. Snow sucks. Why do I live where it's cold?

CS/Q: I'm debating on 1) switching up my temp time and/or 2) switching to vaginal temping starting tomorrow to see if it helps balance out my chart now that AF is done. I'd just note it in my chart and discard these temps if I do. The reason I'm thinking about switching up time is because insomnia has been awful lately with my arthritis and sometimes my 4:30am temp time is only about an hour or two after I go to bed. Switching to vaginal temping would maybe possibly help stabilize my temps but if it's a timing thing then I dunno. Any thoughts?

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, Metformin, prenatal, Conceive Plus, HIO at least EOD, OPK’s, temping/tracking with FF, and progesterone after O.

R/R: It’s hump day...so ready for another weekend!! I weighed myself this morning for the first time in a while...and I’ve gained 9 lbs over the last 6 months! 😒 I knew I’d gained weight, but really didn’t think it was that much! I lost a little over 40 lbs a few years ago, and I don’t want to get back to that same weight (unless it happens if/when I’m pregnant). While I’m still not close to that, this is definitely the kick in the butt I need to make sure that doesn’t happen! I’m more committed than ever to healthier eating & exercise!

CS/Q: None.

@feather_heather good job on the working out yesterday! It is amazing how it can make you feel better, even when you are tired starting out! I’m excited to get it done after work today too!!

@inthewoods23 good luck calling about a therapist...I hope it helps! That’s funny about the robotics meeting! I’m glad it put you in a better mood...and those kids obviously love you guys! ☺️

@ashaislurking I’ve heard vaginal temps are usually more stable, but your temps don’t seem to be that rocky (especially for during AF). Mine are pretty rocky and I’ve considered vaginal temping, but haven’t changed yet. If you feel like timing is an issue though (which it could be if you are only getting an hour of sleep before temping), I’d consider switching that up and seeing how it goes. As long as you are consistent and get at least 3 hours of sleep, I think that’s what is important.

@inthewoods23 I'm sorry yesterday wasn't a good day. Hopefully therapy is helpful.

@ashaislurking honestly to me your temps don't look abnormal. I mean they're all well within 1° of each other. Switching your temp time makes sense with the arthritis and your resulting sleep schedule. That being said because your temps aren't really all over the place so if 4:30 works for you aside from the sleep issues it would probably be OK to stick with it.

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, checking CM, PNV, CoQ10, low dose aspirin.

R/R: My husband leaves for a business trip today and won't be home till early Saturday evening. I got a positive OPK this morning which surprised me a bit. OPKs yesterday were super negative so I wasn't expecting a positive till tomorrow at least. We had sex last night and this morning. So we have done what we can this cycle. On the off chance I haven't ovulated by the time he gets home on Saturday we can try to make sex happen then. But I'm assuming we are now done for the cycle in terms of sex that "counts." I promised myself I wasn't going to spend the cycle stressed out over things I can't control like when I'll ovulate in relation to my husband's travel schedule.
