WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP
R/R: we have another snow day today which means the All County festival got canceled. I'm super bummed about that as I've been really excited for it and my students worked really hard for it. I'm making the best of my unexpected 4 day weekend though. I'm going to head to the hospital this morning to get my blood work done (I have to fast for it) and call radiology and see if they can squeeze me in for my ordered ultrasound today. Luckily the hospital is right in town and only a 5 minute drive from my house.
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, pnv, preseed, (CM looked good yesterday but nothing on opk-it normally turns over the weekend)
R/R: Was up like every half hour all night long. I hate that I am still adjusting to this new job where I have to get up early. The schedule isn't regular either, so sometimes I am up at 5 and sometimes at 6. Adding in the time change soon and gonna be fun times. I also have to work tomorrow, but Sunday and Monday are off.
@gingermama29 I am so sorry that they canceled the event. I know you guys have been working for it. Sounds like you have a good day planned despite it. Enjoy your long weekend.
@gingermama29 ugh stupid snow. I’m sorry. I’m glad you can at least use the time to get that stuff taken care of.
@dobiemom11 I hope the day goes by quickly for you! And I’m glad you have some days off coming up so that you can catch up on sleep. I’m sure the fact that the time isn’t consistent makes it harder to adjust

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, tracking CM
R/R: Happy Friday! I have to work tomorrow but it still feels good that it’s Friday! We have a happy hour tonight so once again I’ll get to prove the state of my empty uterus and hopefully avoid any awkward questions for awhile. It’s in our office and they always bring in something good for dinner so I’m looking forward to it. But I have a busy day to get through first!
CS/Q:
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, PNV, Conceive Plus, HIO at least EOD, OPK’s, temping/tracking with FF, & progesterone after O.
R/R: Happy Friday!! We have almost made it to the weekend! I’m so ready for our “free” weekend!! We are going to have a brunch date tomorrow, then run some errands so we don’t have to do them on Sunday! Then Sunday’s weather is supposed to be so nice, we are hoping to finally get in our walk! I was wrong yesterday...my OPK was super close to positive, but not quite there! RHR went up again this morning, so I’m thinking O is today, very anxious to test when I get home! I’ve O’d on CD17 pretty consistently in recent months, so I guess that’s my “normal”.
CS/Q: None.
@gingermama29 so sorry the festival got cancelled, that stinks after all the preparations! Glad you are making the most of your 4-day weekend though!! Yay for getting things marked off the list with testing!
@dobiemom11 sorry you didn’t sleep well! I hope you can catch up on sleep over your weekend!! I’m not looking forward to the time change either...although it staying lighter longer in the evenings will be nice!
@bows22 that stinks you have to work tomorrow, but I’m guessing it’s a little more relaxed on the weekends at least? I think I missed responding to you yesterday, sorry about that! Hopefully you have a yummy dinner and can avoid any more awkward questions/situations! You enjoy some drinks and hopefully that’ll silence everyone!

R/R: Hurray for Friday!!! Work was a bit crazy yesterday. Things keep breaking - but I’m the bright side that has meant I was more busy whilst still waiting for my boss’ feedback on the reports I created for him. He has apologize a lot for not getting to them yet. I’m not mad at him, I know he’s trying.... but since shit keeps breaking.... he’ll be too busy today too probably. Haha! On a more exciting note - we’re doing Magic Kingdom this weekend! And MH’s back seems to be okay enough for a day of walking around.
CS/Q: No questions today.... just waiting for a spike and a positive OPK.
@bows22 oooh enjoy happy hour tonight! Hopefully the work day flies by for you.
@bluetickgal a brunch date sounds awesome. Enjoy a nice quiet weekend! Mine has turned into a free one too.
@krystrist2014 glad YH's back is better. And that your boss has acknowledged your waiting for him.
@dobiemom11 - Sorry you haven't been sleeping well, I hope your body is able to adjust to the new schedule soon!
@bows22 - Happy hour sounds fun!! Enjoy!
@bluetickgal - Wohoo O day!! Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned!
@krystrist2014 - Have fun at MK!! I'm hoping to plan a trip soon, because I want to see my sister in her new role!

R/R: DH and I are planning on finishing all the painting in the laundry room on Saturday and then Sunday we are headed down the cape to check on the RV! The campground opens for a few hours so us seasonal residents can go check on how the camper fared this winter. Going to toss in a bunch of fresh dryer sheets and then we're going out to lunch with a bunch of the other seasonal folks!

R/R: Happy Friday Ladies! Well the spotting from AF seems to have stopped... for now lol. But the day is young so it could always start up again 😆 FX it doesn’t come back and its gone for good. I’m getting annoyed by wearing a small panty liner everyday. Not much planned for this weekend which is good cause I like doing nothing sometimes lol. My boss doesn't work Friday's anymore so I love these days. I have a busy day today so I’m hoping the day will fly by.
CS/Q:
@gingermama29 aww I’m so sorry your country festival got cancelled cause of the weather and that you are bummed about it. On the positive note, least you got a 4 day weekend which is nice and it sounds like you are making the best of it and getting things done. Hopefully you can get squeezed in at the hospital for the tests.
@bows22 well I hope you enjoy happy hour and dinner tonight at your office. That sounds fun. Hopefully you don’t get bombarded too much with questions. I hope your busy day flys by quickly today.
@krystrist2014 have fun this weekend! So jealous!
@feather_heather fingers crossed the camper held up well! Do you take it out a lot when the weather is good?
@dobiemom11 sorry you got such lousy sleep last night. I hope you sleep better tonight.
@bows22 yay for a good happy hour!
@bluetickgal enjoy your brunch tomorrow and free weekend! I love it when we can do fun things on Sundays, a walk sounds great!
@mindyb2019 woohoo for a boss-free Friday! Hope you have a good fast day!

R/R: today is a fun day at my school- we always do a big leap day celebration so celebrating today since we won't be in school tomorrow. It's bittersweet because **TW* my due date would've been tomorrow *endTW** so looking ahead I was thinking I would not be at school for the celebration this year. My students are a good distraction though and there are a lot of fun activities today.
CS/Q: my temps dropped from last cycle when AF came but are already high again. They usually don't rise until after O - I'm usually in the 96 range and have been in high 97. No question, just weird for me!
@bluetickgal - We'll have some finishing touches once the painting is done and the room is put back together - like hanging shelves, making curtains, and organizing everything back into the room (it's also our tool room so there's lots of stuff to put back in there)!
@gingermama29 Sorry about the festival but hope you can enjoy your long weekend!
@dobiemom11 Ugh restless sleep like that is the worst, hope you can get some rest Sunday and Monday.
@bows22 Enjoy your happy hour!
@bluetickgal Your weekend sounds great, enjoy!
@krystrist2014 Magic Kingdom wow! I bet it will be pretty empty with all the virus fear.
@feather_heather Cape sounds fun!
@mindyb2019 Hope your Friday flies by and you have a fun chill weekend!
@_orchid_ Hugs for tomorrow, hope the celebration can take your mind off of the day. My temp is weirdly high for CD7 too but I think maybe it’s because we’ve had our heat on high at night lately?

@feather_heather does your sister work at WDW?? We are heading there in April, so weird that we will probably see her and not know! Have fun this weekend! I hope your RV survived the winter okay.
@mindyb2019 I hope that AF is gone for good this time! Enjoy the day without your boss! What a great treat on Fridays haha
@_orchid_ I’m sorry that this might be a tough weekend for you. Make sure you do something nice for yourself❤️
@_orchid_ sorry for the difficult weekend ahead but I'm glad you had a fun celebration with your students today as a distraction. I hope it was great!
@legallykate enjoy your date night tomorrow! And yay for WFH!
@krystrist2014 how exciting! Congrats!
@dobiemom11 Adjusting sleep schedules can be hard. I hope it gets easier for you soon!
@bows22 I hope your work day wasn't too bad today!
@krystrist2014 I hope you have fun at Disney this weekend! I've never been to any of the Disney parks but they seem like so much fun! I'm so happy you got offered a permanent position at work! That's awesome news!
@bluetickgal I hope O comes soon for you! Your timing this cycle is looking pretty good. Fingers crossed!
@feather_heather Sounds like some fun weekend plans! I hope the RV fared well.
@mindyb2019 So sorry the spotting didn't stay away. I hope it's over soon.

@feather_heather ohhh that's awesome! That sounds like an amazing summer! I'm from the NE but have never been to cape cod- everyone always raves about how wonderful it is, definitely on my bucket list! Hope it did ok!
@ashaislurking good luck with the last of your assignments! Sorry to hear your semester was rough, hope you can enjoy the rest of the weekend!
@ashaislurking you got this girl!!! Hope you get everything wrapped up on time to go out and relieve a little of that end of term stress!
