@legallykate I hope you have a super relaxing weekend! Also hope all goes well at your appointment on Tuesday! For me it helped to have some answers and a plan in place, so I hope that gives you some comfort too!

@legallykate fingers crossed that your appointment goes well on Tuesday! I hope you get some clarity on your situation.
@bluetickgal sorry about CD1, and sorry AF showed up just in time to put a damper on the weekend. Hopefully you can take it easy and get in a good mindset for diving into your next round of IUI!

R/R: I found out a couple days ago that I have to go back to work (like physically into my place of work, I've been WFH all along) basically half time next week, after repeatedly being told I wouldn't be doing so until mid-June at the earliest, and I am not thrilled about it. What makes it worse is I'm not even going in to do my job- I have to help with a special project outside of my department that's suddenly been bumped up to top priority status. So on top of having to readjust to all the annoying parts of normal work- commuting, wearing real clothes etc.- way earlier than expected, I'm also stressed about having time to get all of my normal responsibilities done with this project taking up 50% of my day. Oh well, at least there's a long weekend between me and facing that reality!
CS/Q: Nope.

@legallykate I'm planning to work on Monday too. We have no plans, going out still feels risky, and if rather get in a good place for the rest of the week to be easy.
@bluetickgal sorry about CD1. It always seems like AF is worse when it starts over a weekend. Sending good vibes for IUI #2!
@the_most_happy oh no! That would stress me out, especially since you thought you had a few more weeks! I am dreading the first few weeks of getting back into the go to work routine and wearing a bra everyday. And then with the project on top of it!!!
Month/cycle: 13/11
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, trying conceive+. FW should be starting this weekend so it's on!
R/R: my eye isn't as swollen as yesterday but it looks like I have a bump so I'm thinking stye. I'm glad I don't really have to see anyone in person for a bit! I have a bit of work to do today but I am totally procrastinating. I did a ton yesterday so I can get away with it a bit. With this long weekend I'm so antsy to think about traveling but know that not in the picture. I want to go to a national park - I'm in northern NJ and we have a teeny tiny yard, all our neighbors are in to of each other, and I'm craving big open spaces. I have a trip to Target planned this afternoon instead lol!
CS/Q: none. Didn't get to temp this morning.

@asf0613 thanks, friend! I’ve still got my fingers crossed so hard for you!! 🤞🏻
@bluetickgal Sorry about CD1 showing up, hope it doesn’t out a damper on your weekend. It sounds like you’ve got a really healthy attitude toward the IUI process; good luck with the next one!
Month/Cycle: 24
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: FF, BBT, OPKs, checking CM & CP, PNV w/Folate, extra Vit D3, Fish Oil/DHA, N-A-C, Calcium, Vitex, Ubiquinol, DHEA, Baby Aspirin, Ovasitol, daily moderate exercise for uterine blood flow. Progesterone injections after ovulation.
R/R: Rant: Slept in a weird position so my shoulder is in extreme pain today. Hot water bottle on it as I type. Rave: Gorgeous day today! Once the shoulder is mobile I’m going for a walk. Also, DH & I had an unusual-for-us early ‘afternoon delight’ yesterday, which was actually fun and seemed to be good timing.
CS/Q:
@bluetickgal I was totally singing that in my head while I was typing! I just listened to that album for the first time in YEARS the other day, and by listening I mean blasting it through the house and singing at the top of my lungs.
@legallykate I didn't end up at Target 😟 MH found what he needed (the whole point of the trip) at the grocery store when he went this morning. He's been doing most of the shopping bc he has to go to the PO often for work, so he does errands on those days. I've been to Target 2x since this started just bc I need the normalcy. The one by me has done a really great job with marking distances and allowing only a few people in at a time so I feel ok going in.
Gotcha! I hope you get CH for yesterday- your chart looks good!
