WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP

R/R: super grateful that the windstorm yesterday ended up being nothing. Today should be a good day. DH is home today too. We're making a bacon cheeseburger soup in the crock pot today and I think DH wants to bake some sort of bread. I'm going to be doing some crafting today. My assignment for my students next week is to make their own instruments at home using household objects. So I'll be making some examples today and this week to share.

CS/Q: I think I might O soon? Definitely been having EWCM the last few days.

WAYDTGKU: HIO, PNV, OPK, Temping, CM tracking, trying to lose weight

R/R: Something must be in the air with all the random postings. Edited to add found out our target is now offering perishable items for Drive Up orders I am so pumped to not have to go into the store when we need only a few things.

CS/Q: nothing to see yet.

stillcozy · April 2020

@gingermama29 Oh my gosh that sounds so delicious! So glad the windstorm turned out to be nothing!

@asf0613 so sorry your allergies have been so bad. Hope they ease up or you can find something different that works.

asf0613 · April 2020

@stillcozy thats awesome about your Target!! i should look into that

inthewoods23 · April 2020

@gingermama29 ohhh that sounds yummy! Your instrument project sounds like a really fun task!

@asf0613 sorry about all the allergies! Hopefully the different meds can help keep them at bay

@stillcozy when is the next full moon? The randoms always seem to fall right around the full moons. The same thing happens at my work with weird requests from our customers! It's a joke a coworker and I have with each other.

Month/Cycle: month 34

CD: eek 39

WAYDTGKU: HIO with Conceive Plus, OPKs, temping, supplements, DF and GF diet

R/R: omg work yesterday was busy busy busy. It was the right amount of busy though. I think I was in that right zone of stress to be really productive and not anxious. I've noticed a few strange dreams lately. Definitely had a BFP dream Saturday or Sunday night. And another not TTC related that I can't remember right now. I usually don't remember my dreams. Maybe I tend to remember them when there's something off about them or couldn't be possible at the time. Like the BFP dream can't be possible when I'm nowhere near ovulation right now. Looking forward to another busy day of work!

ETA: totally forgot to add my rant about my MIL from yesterday! She mentioned how she missed seeing us and so DH said he could set up a group video chat. When discussing what time to do the video chat I said sometime after 5 (aka when work is over) and she suggested 5:15. Sometime around 4:45 or so she says her and FIL are going out to the store and will go into the chat when they get home. We waited until 6:15 and they never showed up. My SIL didn't go on either and apparently didn't bother to tell us that she had been texting MIL and could tell that they weren't going to be short with their trip (I think they went to a hardware store). Just like WTF, because MIL picked the time but decided to go to the store anyway?? Why not say "hey we're going to go to the store for X so we should reschedule"?? DH was really disappointed that nobody joined the call with us. The new plan is for today I think when we're done with our virtual robotics meeting with the team, which does sometimes last past 10pm so.... we'll see. I'll be too tired to want to stay up and chat with the family at that point.

CS/Q: OPKs still light as hell booooo

jackie_dunny · April 2020

@gingermama29 oh my goodness your crock pot dinner sounds amazing! How fun with the household instruments! That’s going to be so great for the kids!

@asf0613 boo allergies! DH has been struggling really bad as well. I’m glad you’re feeling better today!

@stillcozy that’s awesome that your target is doing that!

@inthewoods23 omg that’s so rude! I’d definitely be like WTF as well

Month/Cycle: NTNP

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: Using less protection, tracking CM, CP, & BBT

R/R: nothing really. I’m rewatching all the original Mickey cartoons so that’s taking a bit of my isolation time up. I’m a HUGE Disney fan (including Disney history) anyone else like the old classics as well?

CS/Q: I couldn’t sleep again last night and missed my 6am alarm to temp so I have the dreaded arrow and a (I’m assuming) false temp rise. Right around O 🤦🏻‍♀️ This chart is going to be a mess

the_most_happy · April 2020

@gingermama29 yum, that sounds so good! I've been loving all the quarantine cooking we've been doing, still haven't attempted any bread though. I'm not much of a baker or a huge bread fan in general, but seeing everyone else's creations on social media is making me want to try my hand at it!

@asf0613 that sucks, sorry your allergies are so bad! I don't get them bad myself but I have a couple of friends who literally have to lock themselves in their houses for a few weeks this time of year because their allergies are so bad... so actually I guess this whole quarantine thing came at a good time for them, haha.

@stillcozy yay for curbside pick-up!

@inthewoods23 that is so annoying, I'd be irritated too. Is that typical for them to be a little spacey/inconsiderate like that?

@jackie_dunny oh no, sorry you missed your alarm! I set my thermometer in a weird place and couldn't find it this morning so I missed mine too, which isn't a huge deal in terms of the timing in my cycle but I'm still trying to get in the habit and I am annoyed that I messed up.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: temping, OPKs, tracking CM

R/R: As I mentioned in a TWW thread last week, my period was super late... and when it arrived it came with a vengeance, lol. I had super bad cramps, bloating, and just felt like crap over the weekend, though happily I'm back to normal now. Just wish I hadn't wasted my weekend feeling so blah!

CS/Q: Nothing to see yet.

linzrunz · April 2020

@gingermama29 Bacon cheeseburger soup sounds so good right now! Hope you enjoy your time crafting.

@asf0613 Boo for allergies! Are your stores staying stocked up on allergy meds? Our stores here have had a hard time keeping things like that in stock. Hope a change in meds will help!

@stillcozy I feel like the randoms come in waves. Super annoying. Also yay for Target!

@inthewoods23 How rude of your MIL! That honestly sounds like something my MIL would do. Hopefully you guys can set up a good time to chat soon though. Also boo that your OPKs are still light. C'mon body, do the things!

@jackie_dunny I hate when temps through everything off like that. Hopefully you'll still be able to pinpoint O.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 1 Blah

WAYDTGKU: belly bumping, peeing on things

R/R: Woke up to CD1 which was a real bummer. My LP was only 9 days so that's not awesome. I plan on taking it easy today so hopefully the cramps won't be too bad. I have a feeling I'll be on the couch most of the day with a heating pad. On a happier note, I got my front porch swept and cleaned yesterday, so I foresee some lounging out there in the sun today.

CS/Q: nope

bows22 · April 2020

@gingermama29 I’m glad the winds were a non-issue yesterday. And wow that soup sounds amazing. MH isn’t much of a soup guy but I think I could persuade him with that. Have you made it before?

@asf0613 i hope you can find something to help with your allergies! That’s awful that they are hitting you so hard.

@stillcozy oh that’s awesome about your target. Mine was not doing that last time I checked. I’ll have to keep checking.

@inthewoods23 I’m glad you’re in the busy but not too busy range. I’m teetering into the anxious territory you referred to and I hate it. Also I always feel more anxious during AF for some reason so that isn’t helping. I’m sorry your ILs are being so annoying about the video chat, that would annoy me too.

@jackie_dunny ugh sorry about the weird temp today. Watching the old Disney cartoons sounds fun! I can’t handle Mickey right now because we were supposed to be leaving for Disney in 2 days 😭

@the_m@the_most_happy sorry AF was hard on you but glad it’s over!

@linzrunz nooooo you aren’t supposed to be over here! I’m sorry for CD 1!

Month/Cycle: 17/19 including 2 benched.

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM

R/R: I’m so, so tired. I didn’t wake up early enough to get to Starbucks before a call I had to do and then I’ve been basically on the phone all morning with no time to make my own caffeine haha. Finally in the drive through now. It’s amazing how much better I feel even getting out of the house for a drive. Hopefully AF takes it easy on me and this exhaustion ends soon.

CS/Q:

inthewoods23 · April 2020

@jackie_dunny how much later did you temp this morning?

@the_most_happy mmmm kind of? Very often do we find out my SIL knows something from MIL but those 2 are always chatting. We found out idk how much later that DH's grandma had a minor stroke. We hear a lot of stories/events way after the fact. I feel AF always likes to be extra heavy when. It's had extra days to build. Never fun, that's for sure!

@linzrunz I counted and I'm 20+ days past my last dose of lupron, hopefully they kick in by next week or so. I really hope to O before May shows up, but we'll see. I hate waking up to AF, such a ride awakening!

@bows22 yay for finally getting your caffeine fix! I was a bit anxious in the morning yesterday but I had a meeting with my boss to talk about all the things on my plate as a way to organize it and figure out what my priority needs to be. That's where a lot of my anxiety comes from when I have a lot to do. It's the figuring out what order I should do things. When I don't have that plan I get lazy about working productively.

bows22 · April 2020

@inthewoods23 I had the exact same meeting with my boss today! It did make me feel better to know some things that I can put aside for now. I think just having all of those calls this morning and the follow up I need to do from that is what is overwhelming right now. I just need to get through that and then re-organize myself. I also think I needed to step away for a bit because I’m feeling so much better now. I hope I can pick up some of the productive vibes you left here!

gingermama29 · April 2020

@asf0613 it was delicious! I don't have a picture but I do have the recipe: https://life-in-the-lofthouse.com/slow-cooker-bacon-cheeseburger-soup/
Sorry your allergies we're so bad yesterday. I hope different medicine helps.

@stillcozy glad you can decrease how often you have to actually go into the store.

@inthewoods23 how frustrating about your MIL! I hope you'll be able to have a chat soon. Also sorry about the BFP dream. Those are hard. I had a dream last week that I was KU and had had no idea but was confused cause I'd had a period the week before. So weird.

@jackie_dunny I love the old classics! One of the first things I looked up when I got Disney+ was some of the holiday shorts they used to air (like Goofy learning to ski).

@the_most_happy I love baking! Sorry AF was so awful.

@linzrunz so sorry for AF. Enjoy some sunshine today.

@bows22 yes and it was delicious! Here's the recipe if you're curious: https://life-in-the-lofthouse.com/slow-cooker-bacon-cheeseburger-soup/
We use ground turkey instead of beef and use frozen potatoes for simplicity.

bows22 · April 2020

@gingermama29 you anticipated my next question, haha! Thanks! I can’t wait (for DH) to make it!

asf0613 · April 2020

@inthewoods23 ugh that would irk me to no end! you're a saint for agreeing to the redo so quickly. i would need time to cool off!
@bows22 i must start doing this starbucks run! what a good way to start the day (When you have time)
@gingermama29 omg the pic on the recipe looks sooo good. glad it tasted as good as it looked!

jackie_dunny · April 2020

@the_most_happy so sorry you felt crummy all weekend! Glad you’re feeling better now though!

@linzrunz sorry for CD1 but that front porch lounging sounds amazing! Enjoy!

@bows22 I was actually just telling DH today how you were supposed to be going 😩 so sad for you! We were planning on going in October time but haven’t booked anything yet because we have no idea what’s going on with that obviously. Are you planning on going at a different date?

@inthewoods23 a lot later 😂 like a few hours

@gingermama29 that was the first thing I looked up as well! Wish they had more old stuff on there but I can get why they don’t. Some haven’t aged well if you only what I mean lol I tend to skip those!

bows22 · April 2020

@asf0613 yes you should! I either do a mobile order ahead of time or even if I order at the drive through, I pay with my phone. I figure there is no way I’m infecting them and can enjoy without guilt!

@jackie_dunny yes we are definitely rescheduling versus cancelling. We have a date booked in June but I’ll be surprised if Disney is back open by then. But just figured that would buy us some time to make a better decision about when we could go, especially if I would happen to get KU soon
