WAYDTGKU: OPKs, tracking CM
R/R: Well I’m back. I’m glad AF was prompt so that we can get the next cycle going. I’m hoping now that the pressure of the first cycle post-hysteroscopy is off that I’m more relaxed this cycle but we will see haha. We had a nice weekend, DH’s family came over yesterday which was fun. The last time they came we didn’t have much furniture and everyone crowded into one room, this time we were more spread out and it was much more enjoyable! Happy Monday everyone!

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP
R/R: my brother got engaged on Friday!! I am so crazy excited for them! His fiancee fits perfectly into my family and I'm super excited to get her as a SIL. So with their engagement as well as my other brother who got married a small civil ceremony in my parent's living room on Christmas Eve, we will have 2 destination weddings coming up sometime in the next year or two. The one that just got engaged is planning a Colorado wedding (where they live) and my other brother will be planning a wedding in Italy where they'll be moving to in the summer!!

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, PNV, Conceive Plus, HIO at least EOD, OPK’s, temping/tracking with FF, & progesterone after O.
R/R: Happy Monday!! We had such a nice weekend and mine got extended with having today off for President’s Day! DH doesn’t have off, so I got up early and made breakfast to make the sting of having to go to work just a little less! I’m working on getting some stuff done around the house, but also relaxing a bit! Hope everyone has a great day, whether you are off or at work!!
CS/Q: None.
@bows22 oh friend, I’m so sorry to see you back over here! Great attitude though, hopefully this cycle will be a little more relaxed and you will get wonderful news at the end of it! This is our last cycle before starting IUI...so as much as I wanna be relaxed, I know I’ll probably be feeling the pressure! So glad you had a good weekend!!
@gingermama29 sounds like you had a great weekend with some very exciting news!! Your family has a big year coming up, that’s so wonderful!
@bluetickgal enjoy your day off! I’m jealous! I know what you mean though about feeling the pressure before IUI. Let’s just go to November together and not worry about that okay??
Edit - @gingermama29 your next cycle can start any day now so that you can come to November too!

WAYDTGKU: Benched until April
R/R: We had a pretty good, but busy weekend. I worked and then we had family over all weekend. It was nice to see them but we didn’t have hardly any down time because of it. I’m just ready for this next cycle to hurry up so we can get back to it.
CS/Q: Nothing to see. I’m start temping again next cycle.
@bows22 I’m sorry about cd 1. I hope you feel less anxious this cycle. And I’m glad you had a good time with family!
@gingermama29 how exciting! I bet both of the weddings will be gorgeous!
@bluetickgal enjoy your day off! That was sweet of you!
@gingermama29 hooray for the engagement! Those destination weddings sound like so much fun...I’m sure they will be amazing!
@bluetickgal that was so nice of you to make breakfast for YH...whenever I have off and DH doesn’t I 100% just wave as he gets out of bed lol!
@photographerwife glad you had a nice weekend, the busy ones just fly by though!
Month/Cycle: 4/4

WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, OPKs, tracking CM
R/R: It definitely stung a little to tell DH that AF came today. Typically, he is the extreme realist in our relationship and I am the optimist, but somehow with TTC we have switched! Every month he gets SO convinced that this is 100% it, and then I have to make him sad. Which obviously I hate doing. On the bright side, we both have off today and I love 3 day weekends, it gives us so much time to get things done around the house. We also got to visit some friends this weekend which was nice!
CS/Q: nothing
@runningoncookies enjoy your day off! I’m so jealous of everyone with today off!
@bows22 that sounds good to me. Guess we'll see if AF shows up before my doctor appointment next Thursday.
@photographerwife I hope you get some quiet time to yourself today.
@runningoncookies sorry for AF. Enjoy your time together today!
@bows22 I’m sorry about AF. What a witch. I hope you’re able to relax this cycle!
@gingermama29 oooh destination weddings!! How exciting!
@bluetickgal I hope you have a nice day off!! I’m jealous, lol. I’m the one at work while DH gets to stay home today. Not fair, lol! He didn’t make me any breakfast! 😝
@photographerwife I hate when I don’t get to relax all weekend, makes me feel like I didn’t even have a weekend! I hope these next few months fly by for you!
@runningoncookies I’m sorry about AF. I hope you enjoy your day off!

WAYDTGKU: Prenatals, NTNP, OPKs
R/R: So I think I may have ovulated yesterday according to my OPKs, but I want to wait until I test today before moving over to TWW because if I did O yesterday...that is SOO freaking early!! CD 11! I did have a 28 day cycle last time which is definitely on the short side for me. Yesterday’s were pretty positive looking though (test and control line were the same color), and when I took one this morning it was clearly negative. Saturday’s were also negative. UGH, I was hoping everything would be back to normal this cycle (third cycle post Mirena)
CS/Q: nothing
or get up? I pee a lot at night. 😂 I do think I will continue to test for a few more days to see what happens. I felt like I O’d super early last cycle too, but I was just going based on EWCM and some minor cramps...I had that again this time too, the day before the “positive” OPKs. I’m interested to see what the test will look like this afternoon.
Month/Cycle: 8/8

WAYDTGKU: pnvs, OPKs, preseed
R/R: Rant: Well AF is a total witch! I had almost nothing going on in that department all weekend. Today was crazy busy at work and little time for bathrooms. So total disaster! I think I was able to keep everything together until the last hour of work and then stuck in traffic on the way home. I walked in the house and my husband was like what's wrong? Just dropped all my bags and straight to the shower.
Rave: our potential house got inspected today and it doesn't look like there is anything major!
CS/Q:
Hope everyone who had the day off enjoyed it! I enjoyed less traffic this morning as a result of everyone being off. Got to work an hour early!
@gingermama29 Those weddings sound pretty amazing. Totally jealous of both destinations.
@runningoncookies. Sorry to hear about AF. She is pretty mean! Hopefully you guys can continue to encourage each other through this process.
Month/Cycle: 3
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Prenatals, OPK, Maca, SMEP
R/R: WELL after making it to CD 25 with never having a positive OPK, no egg white CM, thinking I hadn't ovulated, boom, CD1. So I guess I did? We did SMEP but only EOD since I never caught the surge and that's that I guess. I was using leftover OPKs from a friend who didn't ever use them so I've ordered a new batch of Wondfos to try this time instead. Whatever body. whatever!
CS/Q: Nerp.
@dobiemom11 I’m glad that home inspection went well! I had a similar AF story last cycle. The worst!
