  • Month/Cycle: 7/7

    CD: 24

    WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, baby aspirin, temping, tracking CM, progesterone after O

    R/R: FINALLY got a positive OPK this morning!! Literally was just about jumping around the house with excitement lol. It’ll be nice to only have to worry about HIO for a couple more days, then we can get away from scheduled sex. Rant: I have to go to the dentist today and I just don’t want to. 

    CS/Q:

  • @runningoncookies YAY for a positive OPK!! Oh man I wouldn't want to go to the dentist either, but hopefully they have appropriate precautions in place!

    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD: 11

    WAYDTGKU: OPKs, vitamins including PNV, EPO

    R/R: Totally missed checking in yesterday - why is working from HOME still as crazy as working at work?! Nobody is happy, everyone has problems that somehow only I can fix. UGH. End rant.
    I mentioned taking EPO (evening primrose oil) a couple days ago and wanted to mention that I was taking one pill (1000mg) a day but upped it to two pills yesterday, and had more CM this morning - it looked like EWCM, but I'm not ovulating yet per OPKs (I usually have almost no CM and have never seen EWCM, and have PCOS w/ oligomenorrhea). Also, I don't think this is medically based - just anecdotally when I was very un-scientifically googling "how to get EWCM." 

    CS/Q: nope

  • @priyadoc sorry work has been so crazy! That’s interesting about the EPO...I hope it does help!

    New to the TTGP board. :-)
    @runningoncookies congrats on the positive OPK! That’s super exciting!

    @priyadoc working from home is HARD! I is as trying to teach from home and it was nearly impossible to get everything done during normal work hours.

    Month/Cycle: 1/1(?)

    CD: 🤷🏻‍♀️ Had my IUD removed last week Wednesday and have had some spotting but no cycle. My MW said my body would pick up where it left off but I haven’t seen AF in almost 2 years, so who knows!

    WAYDTGKU: OPKs, temping, CM tracking

    R/R: RAVE: I am super excited to be TTC and being able to join this community! RANT: the Father’s Day gift that I got for my dad hasn’t shown up yet and was supposed to be here yesterday, so that’s frustrating.

    CS/Q: This just shows LH ratios right now. I lost my basal thermometer. My new one comes tomorrow morning.

    ETA: my spoiler didn’t work properly. Not sure what happened!

    @priyadoc I tried that but my image wasn’t loading properly! I’ll try again here and see if it works this time. If not, I may have to do them on the web version, which is fine, too!

    Maybe (?) my chart in spoiler. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    ET: Nope, still doesn’t work. Oh well!

  • Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD: 1

    WAYDTGKU: HIO, PNV, pre-seed

    R/R: Heyy y’all. I have been waiting for my post BC flow to start and things finally got moving today so I figured I would jump in! Excited to be here and no real rants at the moment except I got a filling on Monday and it’s still pretty sensitive. I haven’t had sensitivity like this after other fillings so I hope it doesn’t last long.   

    CS/Q: No chart yet. 

    @runningoncookies I feel you about the dentist. I have been there twice in the past two weeks. 

    @chindimples04 I stopped my BC on Monday so I’m also curious to see what my body is going to do in the upcoming weeks! 

  • @jenotontx were you on the pill or something else? I’ve had the IUD before and when I got my first taken out, my cycle returned in 3 days as normal. We are 9 days post removal and so far nothing.

  • @chindimples04 I was on the Nuvaring and I have always taken it out each month for a week to have withdrawal bleeding but I’m curious to see how my cycle will progress and how long it will be before my first real period. 
  • @jenotontx i was on the NuvaRing when I first got married. I never did withdrawal bleeding breaks because I had Toxic Shock as a teen and can’t use tampons anymore and mine was back to normal almost immediately. Everyone is so different though! Hopefully a normal cycle returns quickly!
