Month/Cycle: 20/23

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM

R/R: AF always exhausts me so we didn’t do much this weekend, just relaxed. We did go out for ice cream last night and brought it home and ate it on our deck which was really nice. I’m off next week and have my days this week planned out for what I need to get done each day before I’m off. I’m ready to tackle my Monday list, so naturally we got an email this morning that our internet is down in the office and therefore the servers are down. I’m not sure yet what that means as far as what I can and can’t access, but I’m sure it will put a damper in my productivity. Hopefully it is fixed soon!

fitzfizz · August 2020

Month/Cycle: 1/1 AL

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, and waiting on test results (hopefully back this week) that will determine whether or not we try this FW

R/R: Sometimes I don't get how people can be so unsafe. I had tested a patient for COVID on Friday who had been having fever, and when I called her on Saturday afternoon with the positive(!) result, she was at a party. This is why we can't have nice things...

CS/Q: Nothing to see yet

@bows22 I love a relaxing weekend, such a nice refresher. So nice that you are off next week, I hope you have something fun planned!

asf0613 · August 2020

@bows22 sorry to see you here. hopefully you have a productive week! i love planning out my days' tasks too

@fitzfizz that is SO AGGRAVATING ugh

Month/Cycle: 8/7 since loss

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, CoQ10, temping, opks, conceive+

R/R: had a busy weekend with work and going to have a crazy week with work too. will be mostly lurking this week, i know it already!

CS/Q: got a "peak" yesterday but it wasnt super dark so watching my levels today too. i have to call doc when i O, and i want to be SURE of it, so i will wait til tomorrow

bbrahmbhatt · August 2020

@bows22 ugh, that is annoying! I hope you are able to get some stuff done.

@fitzfizz that is infuriating! Why people, why?!

@asf0613 hopefully you get confirmation soon!

Month/Cycle: 13/11

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, tracking CM, timing, OPKs, first Clomid cyle

R/R: My rave is that we had a nice weekend together, if a little too much food. My rant is that my right lower quadrant has been uncomfortable for a few days has reached the point of actual pain. I hope that this means O is soon/happening. I think my CM is starting to change, so FX it happens in the next day or so.

CS/Q: Nope

photographerwife · August 2020

Month/Cycle: 14/13/6al

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: bbt, opks, pnv

R/R: Sorry I’ve been mia. The longer this journey gets the less motivation I have to talk about it regularly.. But I’ve been being lazy about my ttc stuff (supplements and remembering to take opks and temp) so trying to be more proactive. 😬 We found a house! We are buying a manufactured home to put on land that we already own, so we’re just waiting to close, and get started on the land improvements. We’re going to have to cut a couple of big trees and get the land ready with footers and stuff, so it’s going to be a big project, but hopefully we can be moved in by early October! We were originally looking at a real house. But we’re able to get more for our money this way, and this won’t be our forever home anyway, so we’ll probably rent it out when we’re ready to build in a few years.

Anyway, this month is our empty due date, so I’m glad to have something to keep my mind on!

CS/Q:

@bows22 I hope your internet isn’t down for long! Glad you had a nice relaxing weekend, sorry about af:/

@fitzfizz omg! That’s awful!! Why don’t people just use common sense! 🙄

@asf0613 gl with O this week! Lurkers unite! Haha

@bbrahmbhatt hope you get some clarity soon with the o pain!

inthewoods23 · August 2020

@bows22 ice cream is a great way to treat yourself during AF! Hopefully you can get productive today once the internet is back up. I struggle with that so much when it happens at work!

@fitzfizz it's like the people who think it's a political statement over wearing masks. Do you want to be responsible for the spread of the virus and death of people??? Just wear the damn mask.

@asf0613 woot peak! Are they confirming by progesterone? or US?

@bbrahmbhatt no such thing as too much food

Month/Cycle: 38/27 (I think??? I think I forgot to up the month over the weekend)

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: the usual - HIO (starting soon), temping, OPKs, GF and DF diet, supplements

R/R: it was a good weekend seeing my brother and traveling out to my parents for less than 24 hours lol. Nobody tell DH but my dad was the 2nd person to sit in the drivers seat of my car instead of him shhhhhh. DH didn't come with as he has some stuff he needs to take care of with the robotics team as it looks like we'll be able to meet in person soon! I was feeling really good and hopeful over the weekend with this cycle. Hope I can keep that positivity going for the next 2-4 weeks!

CS/Q: I'll add my chart later, but my temp didn't drop as much as I thought it would considering it's only a cool 57 this morning instead of the usual hotter temps. I was chilled during the night and must have cuddled DH enough to keep warm.

asf0613 · August 2020

@bbrahmbhatt hopefully thats O!
@photographerwife that sounds so cool! hopefully the process is quick for you guys to get into home sweet home
@inthewoods23 theyll be checking progesterone levels. good luck with HIO soon and glad you had a nic weekend with the family

photographerwife · August 2020

@inthewoods23 glad you had a good weekend with your family! That is such a dad thing to immediately want to sit in and check out your new car! 😂 we won’t tell though! 🙊

inthewoods23 · August 2020

@photographerwife my mom was freaking out about it in the passenger seat while I sat in the back-middle seat

. Dad just took it for a spin around the neighborhood and down the road that connects the 2 entrances to the neighborhood. If there had been more time I would have shown them the autopilot features (my car stops on its own at stop signs and stop lights if you have the cruise control/autosteer activated). I have a feeling my dad might like an electric car in the future lol.

photographerwife · August 2020

@inthewoods23 I love a traditional dad move! 😂 buying a new Tesla is a big deal! YH can’t expect anything less haha

optimisticoctopus · August 2020

@bows22 hopefully you’re able to make it though your list today!

@fitzfizz OMG!!! People are the worst. I don’t understand how they can have such a lack of care/respect for the people around them.

@asf0613 yay for peak!!

@bbrahmbhatt glad you had a nice weekend...FX for O!

@photographerwife YAY for the house stuff!! Hopefully everything moves smoothly and you’re able to get in for the fall.

@inthewoods23 glad you had a nice weekend with your family! Too funny that your dad got to take the car out before DH. My dad would’ve done the exact same thing!

Month/Cycle: 9/8

CD: 31

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

R/R: GUYS. I got a (nearly) positive OPK yesterday!!! Premom called it .89, but DH both stared at it under every kind of light in and decided the lines were the same to us so we are going with it! I had some cramping last night and much less CM than usual for O, but I’m calling today O day. Very much hoping to see a temp jump and move over to TWW tomorrow (FINALLY!). That’s pretty much all the excitement going on for me today. I guess when you don’t O until you would normally be itching to POAS, that becomes literally all-consuming lol. As DH said yesterday, even if this isn’t our cycle at least it’s going somewhere!

asf0613 · August 2020

@runningoncookies premom is so weird with how they calculate it. hope this TWW is your last--see you there soon!

gusgus14 · August 2020

Month/Cycle: 9/10

CD: 3 (I originally thought Friday was CD1 but it turned out to just be spotting)

WAYDTGKU: HIO

R/R: I cannot get caught up on my emails today and I hate it. I usually try to keep my inbox clear. Started the day with 5 emails sitting in my inbox and now I'm up to 164 at lunch. UGGGGH. Most of them can just be filed away but it's stressing me out.

CS/Q:

@bows22 - I feel you on the AF exhaustion! It usually takes me out but mine has been weird the last few cycles and hits at the tail end or after so it'll probably kick in for me today or tomorrow.

@fitzfizz people like that make me so angry!

@asf0613 - yay peak! Good luck!

@bbrahmbhatt - I feel like every weekend here involves too much food

@photographerwife - good luck with the house!

@inthewoods23 - glad you had good family time!

@runningoncookies - fingers crossed that you can move over to TWW soon!

bows22 · August 2020

@fitzfizz oh my gosh why?? Sometimes I can see people’s viewpoints about how much government should control our lives but then you hear about things like that and then you’re like well maybe they should. Ugh. I hope you get your results soon and that it was just a random thing ❤️

@asf0613 i had to tell my doc when I had a positive OPK during one cycle so I could get bloodwork and it is definitely more stressful figuring out what is positive when the pressure is on like that!

@bbrahmbhatt I hope you see O soon!

@photographerwife I know what you mean about not wanting to always talk about TTC. I think covid is hitting me too with this like every day is the same and I’m also still not pregnant. It doesn’t seem like anything else in my life is going to change for the foreseeable future so why would TTC be any different? Anyway, I’m so glad things are working out with the house and you have something to throw yourself into right now!

@inthewoods23 oops, sorry to YH haha! You snooze, you lose! But that’s awesome you may be able to meet in person soon!

@runnin@runningoncookies I picture you & YH starting at the OPK like can we stop having sex pleeeeease! I hope you get the temp jump tomorrow! I’m the same with emails and there are so many more lately since everyone is working from home!

kvh22 · August 2020

*Lurking from TWW*

@fitzfizz OMG that makes me sooooo mad! Seriously??? Could you actually hear people in the background or did the person freak out and blurt it out

@runningoncookies Yay! Finally!

asf0613 · August 2020

@gusgus14 i am the same way! i need a clean inbox! drives me nuts when there are things i have to wait to file
@bows22 mainly stressful because i also dont want to have to do it (pay for it) twice!

bows22 · August 2020

@asf0613 right! it’s not like when you are just tracking for TTC purposes and you can just have sex a couple of extra days if you aren’t sure.

asf0613 · August 2020

@bows22 exactly! i already saw the labs for CD3 are $800! now it willcover my deductible but thats still a lot of money! id have to imagine progesterone might be cheaper since its less labs overall? i hope?

photographerwife · August 2020

@runningoncookies omg, so many days of testing! Glad you finally got a positive. I hate cycles like that! At least you still have good timing!

@gusgus14 hope you were able to catch up with emails today!

@bows22 I know! TTC has me jaded. After a while I just feel like even trying I won’t have a positive. So I just try not to focus on it so hard lately. I hope we both graduate soon. 💕

fitzfizz · August 2020

@kvh22 I could hear people in the background, so I asked “are you at home?” to which she replied “well, I’m at a party, but it is outside and only young people”

marian-13 · August 2020

@runningoncookies If your T line is as dark as the C line, then the ratio should be equal or close to 1. You may try to take picture in a well-lit environment since Premom reads result vary from lighting.
