WAYDTGKU: FET in March

R/R: I'm up super early so I can bring my car in for some repair/service. I get to be shuttled to work woo... Better make sure I have a lunch because I don't know if my car will be ready before then or if they will be picking me up at the end of the work day. I felt decently productive yesterday so hopefully that continues today during this busy work week.

CS/Q: nope

@inthewoods23 I hope your car repairs aren't too expensive! That's the worst.

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP

R/R: day 1 of tracking my food went well. It's going to be some work to get back into that habit consistently, but I know it'll help me so much. Having other people close to me doing the same is definitely the biggest help. I need someone to keep me accountable and encourage me when I start coming up with excuses not to.

@inthewoods23 - That's nice that they offer a shuttle/pick up service! I have my car serviced at a place that's a 15 minute walk to work - so that I can get myself to work haha I hope the productivity continues today - it's a good feeling!

WAYDTGKU: IVF - Biopsy

R/R: I paid off my car yesterday! Woohoo! Feels good to have another debt gone! I'll be snowballing that car payment into my last and final (and large

) federal student loan! We talked last night and decided that I'm going to dump all my savings into it and then between the two of us pay the rest of it off in the next year. DH has been wanting to help pay it down (he hates debt) but I've been refusing until now. Once that loan is paid off the only debt we'll have is the mortgage, and then we can both focus everything into that. Can you tell DH is a fan of Dave Ramsey (and I was raised by parents with mountains of credit card debt lol)?

CS/Q: none

R/R: We triggered last night!!! It's finally happening! I'm trying to keep myself calm, but the anxiety is real.

I think I'm going to treat myself to a Starbucks this afternoon, and maybe some car knitting time. I'm going to be busy tonight - have to hit the grocery store for more Gatorade, since MH drank all of the Gatorades I brought in already... 🙄😒 - and I want to have the house pretty clean too, just in case my MiL decides to show up.

CS/Q: Nope

mvt2003 · February 2020

@inthewoods23 Eeek hope the repairs are quick and cheap!!!!

@gingermama29 Starting the tracking habit is the hardest part - once you're in the groove, it's easier! Great job getting started!

feather_heather · February 2020

@gingermama29 - I need to start tracking again - do you use an app?

@mvt2003 - Yayyy! What time is your ER tomorrow?

mvt2003 · February 2020

@feather_heather 8:30am tomorrow - have to be there at 7:30 though, so it's going to be an early morning! Congrats on getting your car paid off! That's awesome!!!!

inthewoods23 · February 2020

@gingermama29 you may want to join in on our healthy habits thread for your food logging

@feather_heather they started offering Smart Dollar at work last year. I'd like to get our finances in better order!

@mvt2003 yay ER!!!

I'm having trailing arms replaced under my extended warranty so the cost is just $100, not too bad. They also suggested the cam nuts or something (for alignment?) but that's not covered or required and it would be another $175 so no thanks. Just doing the minimum so I can have a safe car until I take delivery of my new Tesla. I'm supposed to replace my tires too but I'm wondering if I can make it work the rest of winter. Otherwise we're probably going to buy the cheapest tire so I have better traction. And it may be summer before I get my car anyway.

legallykate · February 2020

@gingermama29 Keep up the good work on food tracking!

@feather_heather Woohoo for paying off the car! I was also not raised to budget and it bit me in the butt in my 20s big time.

@mvt2003 Squee for trigger and ER tomorrow, will cross all the things for you.

@inthewoods What kind of Tesla are you getting? Jealous!

R/R: I was productive yesterday but now am feeling unmotivated. I have a mid-morning meeting that is at such an awkward time to try to be productive this morning. Hopefully the afternoon will be better.

CS/Q: Still no temp spike and OPK now even more positive. Anyone wanna take a gander at when I will ovulate based on this progression?

R/R: yay! It’s O day. 😁 I’m soo happy for that. I’ve been having some cramping and Slight O pain yesterday and this morning so I guess that’s good. Tomorrow I will move over to TWW finally.

CS/Q: Nope

@inthewoods23 Sorry you had to get up early to bring your car in for service. At least they shuttle you to work. Bonus lol Hope the repair doesn’t cost you too much.

@gingermama29 Well I’m glad that tracking your food is going well for you so far. Having another person keep you accountable is great and it helps sooo much. You got this girl. You can do it! 👍

@feather_heather wooo hooo. Way to go.. good job for paying off your car. Congrats. I love that feeling. My DH is the same as yours. He hates debt and we work together to pay everything all off. Hes really good at that kind of stuff. I’m great at saving money but I get that from my mom lol. I hope your able to have everything all paid off that you want to be. GL

@mvt2003 Yay. For triggering. Try not to let the anxiety work you up. MMM.. Starbucks. Yummy. That sounds like a great treat. You deserve it. Enjoy it. What do you usually order from there?

linzrunz · February 2020

@inthewoods23 Hope you have a productive day!

@gingermama29 yay for tracking your food! Having someone else to keep you accountable really helps.

@feather_heather That's so exciting that you paid off your car!!

@mvt2003 Yay for trigger!!! Starbucks and car knitting time sounds so relaxing. What is your usual order at Starbucks?

@legallykate That is such an awkward time for a meeting. I hope this afternoon is more productive for you!

@mindyb2019 Yay for O!!

WAYDTGKU: bow chicka wow wow

R/R: I got to spend the weekend in Vegas with my family but AF decided to show up early and try to ruin the trip. My cramps are more manageable since I had excision surgery for the endo, but they're still pretty bad due to the adenomyosis. The visit with the family went well with very little drama until the end. My sister doesn't talk to my older brother (or me...long story I'll share one day) and she owes him quite a bit of money from a loan several years ago (like 5 figures). She stopped making payments and he's trying to reach out and get the money he's owed. Well, we figured out that she blocked him from calling/texting her phone. She's 7 years older than me, but acts like a teenager. It's ridiculous.

Also, the best news ever, my little brother is moving closer to me this weekend!! Instead of 10+ hours away, he will only be 2 hours away! So excited to get to see him more often.

CS/Q: nope

gingermama29 · February 2020

@feather_heather yay for paying off debt!! That has to be such an amazing feeling! I'm using MyFitnessPal to track my calorie intake. It worked really well for me last time and was so much easier to stick with because I still ate the food I like, just less of it.

@mvt2003 yay for triggering!! So excited for you! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning for your ER. Sending all the positive thoughts!

@inthewoods23 great suggestion! I think I will do that!

@legallykate based on the progression, I'd guess you'll O sometime within the next 24 hours but I'm no expert by any means.

@mindyb2019 thanks friend! Yay for O day!! Get it girl!!! FX for you!!

@linzrunz sorry for the drama but so excited for you that your brother is moving closer! It's hard when your siblings live far away and you're close.

ashaislurking · February 2020

@inthewoods23 Hopefully the repairs went well and you're independently mobile again!
@feather_heather Getting rid of debts is a great feeling! Hopefully the student loan debt can get paid off in the next year and you'll be mostly debt free!
@mvt2003 Hooray for trigger! Hopefully the retrieval goes smoothly tomorrow morning!
@legallykate I hope your afternoon got better! I'm guessing you'll probably see a temp spike in the next day or two!
@mindyb2019 Yay for O day!! So excited for you! I'm glad this cycle was just a bit off.
@linzrunz So sorry AF showed during your trip and about your family drama. Exciting that your brother is moving closer!

Month/Cycle: 3/3 (1 Unbenched)
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: prenatals, B6, OPKs, CM tracking, BBT charting, at least EOD during fertile window
R/R: Still haven't ovulated and I'm 4 days past my usual O date. My cycles have been a little screwy lately so I'm not too surprised. Last cycle I O'ed on CD17, the cycle before was CD12 which is my normal, and the cycle before that was CD8. My OPKs are still very negative and my temps are still low, but they're more stable than they've ever been so I'm calling that a win. Really hoping I O soon and can officially enter the TWW.
CS/Q: Nothing exciting...

@ashaislurking 😣 I'm in the same NOTHING boat. Maybe our ovaries are trying to be romantic and wait for Valentine's day 😆
