WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM charting, OPKs, PNVs, BD when the mood strikes-we had a few weeks away, so we've been pretty frequent until this cold got in the way. Still doing my low carb diet, trying to get in daily activity.
R/R: I have a terrible cold. I worked yesterday and had to sit down a few times, and was almost in tears by the time I got home. DH has been taking good care of me, but I'm stubbornly refusing to take any meds because I'm worried they'll hurt our chances. Although honestly, I'm in no shape to BD so I'm sure that will hurt our chances more than a dayquil or two. Plus, I've been really excited about BBT charting this cycle, and this cold is definitely going to mess it up (even more than night shifts and travel).
GTKY: Do you make New Year’s resolutions? For a long time the only resolutions I made were weight loss related. But I lost a substantial amount of weight 2 years ago, and while I'm always trying to keep my eye on even healthier habits, I'm hoping to focus on some other things this year... I'm thinking of targeting less TV, less gossiping at work, and more real communication with friends--instagram stalking doesn't count.
CS/Q:
I think FF will predict O day is tomorrow if my temps cooperate. Pre-Mom has it today based on yesterday's OPK peak. Based on CM I would almost think yesterday was O day. I guess it doesn't really matter, I just have to muster the energy to keep BD if possible.

WAYDTGKU: This list has gotten really ridic. The short version: FF, BBT, OPK, PNV w/Folate, tons of supplements, tons of meds, lots of sleep, sunshine, & moderate exercise. Estradiol & Progesterone & Lovenox after Ovulation. We used to BD everyday during FW but I think we are so tired that it will now be EOD.
R/R: Christmas Eve & Christmas Day & Christmas Dinner were all beautiful! We needed it after several years of very tense holiday gatherings after losing my mom. No rants this week!
GTKY: Do you make New Year’s resolutions? I always make resolutions about fitness, finances, & friendships. I will keep those. @notagoodpatient I really like your resolutions & will add those in too.
CS/Q: Just two dots right now.

WAYDTGKU: I think we're going to try the every other day thing this cycle.
TW pregnancy announcement
Who sends their ultrasound to everyone they know?
GTKY: Do you make New Year’s resolutions? No. I do set goals thought.

CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: pre-natals and OPK, working on better timing with more information
R/R: I am glad that the holidays are over. They were just super stressful with lots of family drama. Back home with a few days off together will be a nice way to start the year.
GTKY: Do you make New Year’s resolutions? I don't normally make resolutions, but it has been a crazy rough year. So I am thinking of starting some new routines as a way to distinguish the old year from the new year. I know that things won't magically get better once the clock strikes 12, but maybe some new routines might get us in a better frame of mind! Better meal planning, more consistent exercise for the puppy, and journaling!
@keikilove glad your Christmas went well!
@the_road_to_oz what an awkward holiday card
@dobiemom11 sounds like a great way to start off the new year and decade!

WAYDTGKU: biopsy on the 6th for ERA and Receptiva testing, then FET
R/R: my grandparent's on my dad's side were so thankful that we drove the 5 hours to see them. The only downside to having a electric car is the extra time to charge, but we always plan for that in our travel time. And then DH wanted to drive home instead of spending the night in a hotel so we got home at midnight. Was nice to wake up in my own bed though.
It was either my dad's side (who we didn't see at Christmas last year) with no babies, or DH's mom's side that's just full of drama and somebody getting ticked off about something someone said. DH has cousins on that side that are over 10 years younger than him - grandma had a 2nd marriage. Unrelated to Christmas, but his grandma has taken the grandkids out to dinners and movies a few times but it's never included him or his sister so now there's tension about that. Oh well, we'll just live in our little bubble and that's fine until we can get KU.
GTKY: Do you make New Year’s resolutions?
I have but they usually don't happen like getting into working out on a regular basis. I did decent this year about being more minimal and got rid of a bunch of clothes. I hate donating to Goodwill since they're not the greatest organization, but it's easy to just drop my old stuff off and not care. Come tax time though I'm like, why do I bother with this crap for the tax stuff, it doesn't seem to give me any benefit.
My resolutiont year is to just become a better person and take care of my mental health. I got the sunrise/wakeup alarm clock, a light therapy lamp, and a weighted blanket so hoping I make huge strides in managing my anxiety and my mood!

@dobiemom11 I think those are great goals. I do much better with goals versus resolutions, and often set monthly goals for myself. So NY resolutions are sort of just January goals 😆 I’m sure your pup will appreciate it though
@inthewoods23 very impressed with your new year goals and the strides you’ve already made! Sorry for all the family drama. MH also always insists we drive back (or fly back) instead of staying the night somewhere. And while I’m also reluctant to travel late, it is SO NICE to wake up in tour own bed.
