CD: 1 womp womp
WAYDTGKU: bbt opks,, etc....
R/R: my husband and I have had a super busy few days. We’ve decided to try to buy a house! So we’re jumping through all of the hoops trying to get financing and stuff sent in. Fingers crossed that everything goes well for us! Also, I had a wellness check and they checked my thyroid. My levels came back at 2.89 for tsh. I’ve read that 2.5 is as high as you want it for ttc, (if anyone knows more about that) so I’m waiting for a call back from the nurse to ask if we should look into it more. Hope you guys have a good Tuesday!
CS/Q:
@photographerwife sorry about CD1. I know nothing about thyroid hormones, but hopefully someone knows more than me!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 15 🙄🙄🙄
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, HIO EOD/ED, CM, CP
R/R: I’m so annoyed with my body that I’m still here. My CP and CM FINALLY went into fertile mode yesterday but my OPKs are still depressingly low for being supposedly 2 days pre-O. The amount of stick I have peed on is getting a bit obnoxious. Only good thing right now is DH is off today and tomorrow so I can work on our master bath vanity!
CS/Q: I added last months overlay chart, too.

WAYDTGKU: temping, tracking CM, OPKs, PNV, baby aspirin, progesterone after O
R/R: So last night I was hanging out on the couch with my cat and realized she is missing a patch of fur! It’s right next to her ear so you can really only see it from certain angles. Since we aren’t sure exactly why she has this teeny bald spot she has a vet appointment tonight. Hoping it is minimally stressful for her! She’s pretty good about going to the vet, so I’m sure she’ll be fine. We brought her carrier into our living room and she’s already been playing and sitting inside of it.
CS/Q:
ETA: TMI: I had bought some new fancy lingerie to try to help with the kids and stuff, but they won’t be here until next week.

@photographerwife our paths are literally always just crossing. I’m going to the TWW tomorrow! I’m sorry for CD 1 but good luck with the house stuff! That will be a nice distraction from TTC!
@chindimples04 I hope you see some darker OPKs soon!
@runningoncookies your poor kitty! I hope she’s okay! Keep us posted!
Month/Cycle: 20/22 including 2 benched.
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM
R/R: We are finally getting a 1 day break from the heat so I’m hoping we can take a walk tonight! Then we will probably give it one more shot tonight and I’ll move over to the TWW tomorrow. See you guys over there!
CS/Q:
@chindimples04 hope things level out! Have fun painting!
@runningoncookies Hope your kitty is ok and the vet says she's good!
@bows22 Enjoy your walk!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: HIO, CM/CP, BBT
R/R: I have some spotting/bleeding. Haven't had that mid-cycle unless I was in the process of adding big workouts after not working out for a while. Not sure that what that means. Crossing my fingers it's just ovulation spotting, even though I have never had that before and not a super short or super long cycle (if my last period was break through bleeding).
CS/Q:
Edit: adding chart

@photographerwife yay for buying a house! I'm so excited/jealous We're still in a tiny apartment and have been saving for years but plan to move across the country before we buy...which has gotten put on hold with Covid until idk when. Keep us updated!
@bows22 good luck in the TWW!
@chindimples04 did you O on CD 17 last month? It could just be a day behind and then you'd be on track for the LH surge tmrw?
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, HIO ED/EOD, RRL tea (which reminds me it's been a few days), PNV + a few other supplements, CM, etc. Idk...trying to do all of the things (except CP b/c I couldn't figure that one out).
R/R: I fell off of the sourdough wagon and just started a loaf and am really excited to have fresh bread tomorrow. On the flip side, I have been killing it with making time to run and am really happy with how my endurance is picking up and how much better I feel when I do it. I feel bad not getting DH out as much as he could be, though, so idk if I need to compromise some of my runs so he can go or what to help him get back into it more.
CS/Q: temp finally got down to my normal, pre-o temps. Took forever which is kind of weird, but I'm happy.
@DoubleUp8 sorry for the spotting! Hopefully it stops soon!
@kvh22 yummmm to fresh bread! Nice job getting out to run...I’ve been having trouble getting motivated to run recently, but I’ve gotten really into yoga. I went for a run over the weekend though and it felt so so good! Gotta get back at it I’m thinking!
Also, I'm glad you are finding time for yourself and running. Hope you can find time to go with DH too!

@kvh22 it took a month or two of checking CP daily to figure out how to monitor it.
@photographerwife ahh it's tough in a small space. We've contemplated just moving to where we want and looking for a job then but DH can't so his remotely for long. I mentioned it again today and apparently they just put into motion having him get 3 direct reports so this is on hold for a few months at least

@Kenneylynn3 hmm I guess I could still try it out this cycle 🤔
