R/R: We cancelled the interviews scheduled for Friday because of the weather (but didn't cancel school?) so the interviews will be happening this afternoon. Thursday's interviews went great and we have 2 awesome candidates going for one position. I'd be really happy working with either person. I'm excited to see the candidates today!
It's going to be a crazy week at school though. But I've just gotta get through this week and then I'm off all next week!!

R/R: Went for monitoring yesterday morning, they're balancing my lead follie getting pretty big, but wanting to let the rest catch up. I was hoping so hard to trigger last night because I'm pretty uncomfortable, but they said to trigger today instead. They'll call today to let me know what time. I'm so ready!
Overall, it was a pretty quiet weekend - MH had FOMO at the start because he was missing a buddy's bachelor party trip, but by the end of the weekend he felt better about not going (the travel had tons of weather snafus, drunken shenanigans got out of hand and his brother now has a nasty cut on his head, etc.)

R/R: yesterday I decided I'm going to write up a big FB post to clue people in to what's been going on with me. Half because it's reaching a point I can't really lie or hide my diet and also because my mental health is really suffering again this winter. Last winter was bad too, but it's been really hard getting through the weeks when nearly every weekday is taken up by something so I feel disconnected from DH, and that always brings my mood down. It's another crazy busy week for us but next week should feel more slowed down so I look forward to that!
CS/Q: nope, although I'm super curious what temping looks like on BC

R/R: DH ended up working all weekend, so I didn't get my spaghetti and meatballs Thinking we'll try to go there this Friday for Valentine's Day instead! My dad came over Saturday and we made some good progress on the laundry room reno - it is definitely motivating to see progress being made that makes the room look better (versus demoing and making it look worse and worse haha)
CS/Q: none
@legallykate Hoping today flies by!
@ashaislurking Woo hoo to the home stretch! You've got this!
@inthewoods23 ER is Wednesday - waiting for the official call to know what time it's scheduled and what time to trigger! I think that FB post might be very cathartic for you, and will hopefully intercept some of the "so when are you guys having kids" crap. It was kind of a relief for us to tell the ILs, and not have to hide things anymore.
@feather_heather And now I want spaghetti and meatballs! The bach party literally was straight out of The Hangover too - the party was split in half because they were in Colorado and one group's plane got delayed, and the other group got stuck at a ski resort because they closed down the highway for an avalanche warning. Then when they were able to reconnect, they all got super hammered and bad things happened

I think I’m doing this right? The months and cycle after loss are correct, but I don’t know if I should stall the middle cycle since I’m benched. And keep it at 7? Or keep counting benched cycles too.

WAYDTGKU: Benched- taking prenatals to get my folate back up.
R/R: we had a pretty chill weekend. DH worked a ton of overtime last week so he wasn’t feeling up to much. I have to go pay the sales tax on my new car today and shop. 💩 Even if I can’t actively ttc right now, I’m glad that my cycles didn’t get too jacked up. My doctor wasn’t expecting me to have a real cycle so early. It was right at 30 days after my surgery!
CS/Q: Nothing to see
@gingermama29 GL with your interviews today!
@legallykate glad you enjoyed the oscars!
@mvt2003 I hope you feel better after your trigger! It sounds like DH was better off at home this weekend! 😅
@ashaislurking gl with your schoolwork this week! Finals are so stressful!
@inthewoods23 I hope you had good feedback from your status. People always seem so supportive on that stuff. I just always suffer in silence. 💩 winter has been hard for me too. Thankfully spring will be here soon. Hopefully that helps both of us!
@feather_heather Yay for progress! I bet you will love your new space! I hope you get your meatballs soon. 😉

Well better late then never so I’ll take it cause I’m tired of looking at all those high fertility days lol. I already know it won’t happen this cycle but that’s ok. I’ve been sick this cycle which has thrown it all off and out of whack and my hubby has been too and we haven’t HIO a lot because he hasn’t wanted too as he’s been not feeling well and super tired so I’m not going to push him. It is what it is but I’m happy to move to forward and get AF and try again for next cycle.

@gingermama29 That’s great you have a few candidates that you like. Hope all goes well with your interviews today. Woo hoo for time off next week. Are you going away anywhere? Or just a staycation?

@mvt2003 yay for trigger today. Sorry your feeling uncomfortable. Hope that passes. Wow that bachelor party sounds wild 😆
@ashaislurking I hope your week doesn’t stress you out too much. GL with your term papers.
@inthewoods23 aww my friend. I’m so sorry your struggling lately and things have been hard for you. Hugs your way ❤️ I hope it’s gets better for you. Try and take some time for yourself.
@feather_heather Sorry you didn’t get your spaghetti and meatballs 😆 damit lol I hope you do get them on Valentine’s Day though. Glad you were able to make some headway on the laundry room Reno.

WAYDTGKU: going to start using OPK and temping this month. I have to buy the things still since I was not sure when AF was coming.
R/R: I didn’t realize how hopeful I was for this past cycle until AF finally came today. Feeling really sad. Positive is this was my first normal cycle so I’m going to try and stay positive.
CS/Q: what OPK’s and temping tools do you recommend? Any advice for newbie?
@feather_heather spaghetti sounds so good right now! Glad the Reno is making progress. That is the fun stage when things start to take shape
@photographerwife glad your cycles are normalizing well.
@ashaislurking you got this!!

R/R: I’m out of work for a few days, and a coworker called me to tell me that our classrooms all stink because of the wet carpets from the flooding last week. They had to put the kiddos in the gym for the day. I hope they can get the problem fixed quickly! They should have known just leaving it would cause this. Maybe our insurance can get us some new carpets, our carpet is probably 30 years old lol.
CS/Q: Nope
@allthingscozy I'm sorry AF showed! As far as OPKs and BBT, I use pregmate OPKs and the iProven thermometer. The only OPKs I've heard really bad things about are the easy at home ones, but for some people those actually work really well so it seems to be hit and miss. If you have any questions about tracking your cycle I'd be happy to help. I have quite a bit of experience with charting.

@kitkatz1990 eww wet stinky carpets are the worst. I really hope they fix that soon as that's a big inconvenience to everyone involved. FX you get some new carpet too lol. We got new carpet at my work and in our office in like Oct of last year. It looks so fresh and nice now and really needed it as the carpet was so old and dirty. 😣
@mvt2003 maybe it has helped with me saying things like "when we have kids blah blah blah" so they don't have to ask is when because obviously we are thinking about it.
@mindyb2019 wasn't I saying this weekend you were due for that peak? Get it girl 😆
@allthingscozy I've used the clearblue advanced digital ones (really great for knowing when FW starts), wondfos, and pregmate OPKs. I think I like the pregmate over the window because it's a thicker stick. My thermometer is an Easy@home which has a backlight that I can't live without when trying to read the temp in a dark bedroom.
@kitkatz1990 yuck! Hope they clean up and replace those carpets!
My plan with the FB post is to do it sometime on Wednesday after our consent signing appointment with the RE. I want to ask her some questions considering the changes I've already seen since cutting out gluten and dairy. Like is it worth getting checked for the sensitivity? I want to be armed with that knowledge before I post

So I know I said I don't get questions about kids, but damn the people asking questions about my diet.... The coworker I went on the trip with is doing keto so we're kinda in the same boat about not being able to eat things. We were over by my coworker in my department and we're talking about pizza like everything is normal and of course he asks why I'm on this new diet. I am always of the mindset of not questioning things because I figure it's not my right to know. Why do people care so much about why I'm not eating certain things??? Cue default "doctor's orders!". Ugh 😑😒

@mvt2003 basement looks great! They cleaned up nicely today! Pictures included before. Yay for ER on Wednesday! I'll be thinking of you!
@ashaislurking good luck with your term paper!
@inthewoods23 I hope the FB post helps. Sometimes it's cathartic to get things out there or even just write it down to help process feelings.
@feather_heather nah it'll just be a nice quiet week off at home! Sorry you didn't get your spaghetti and meatballs this weekend. Hope you can get there for Valentine's day!
@photographerwife glad you had a nice weekend and that your cycles didn't get messed up!
@mindyb2019 yay for peak OPK! I'm glad you're cycle got its actually together. And yes, it'll be just a staycation. But I'm looking forward to it.
@allthingscozy so sorry for CD 1. I have an iProven bbt and used wondfos when I was using OPKs but I was thinking I'd try easy@home when I get back into them.

@mindyb2019 that's within the normal range so you're good. There's enough time for an embryo to implant 🙂

However for longer term it is highly unlikely you would need to keep this diet up. If you didn’t have any problems (specifically diarrhea, indigestion, rashes etc) prior time TTC then there really is no reason you would need to continue this diet once you are KU or after pregnancy. Essentially, there isn’t any non-TTC medical reason to be gluten or dairy free unless they cause symptoms.
