WAYDTGKU: vitamins, OPKs, BBT for now
R/R: I keep thinking today is Friday. It’s putting a real damper on the day. 👎🏼

TTC #1 | June '18-August '18 | DD | Born April 21, 2019 | Due May 10, 2019

Month/Cycle: I don’t even know how to calculate due to being benched

WAYDTGKU: Half-assed TTA
R/R: Confirmed with the lab on Tuesday that they are running our samples, but there is basically no way we are getting them back in time to try this month. I am really annoyed that we are out for another month because of a stupid paperwork error. Between that and my weekend situation I am in a funk. I don’t really know what to post in the dailies (it isn’t much of a TWW if you know there is no way you are KU) so part of me wants to stop, but in part this makes me feel like I am doing something. Ugh.
CS/Q: I have done a great job of tracking! (Not that it matters at all) 🙁
@chindimples04 oh no thinking that it’s Friday when it’s not is the worst. The month rollover day also sucks. I hope your day goes up from here haha.
@fitzfizz that is beyond frustrating about your results. I’m sorry and don’t blame you for being in a funk, although I hope you feel better soon. I hope you have something fun or special lined up for the weekend, you deserve it.

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM
R/R: So I had a major work win yesterday. One of my clients changed software and is struggling to reconcile reports that should agree to each other - the current reports we are looking at have been a total mess and I didn’t really even know where to start. It’s been a bunch of trial and error but I made a major breakthrough yesterday and was able to narrow down the differences pretty significantly. I’ve been complaining about work so much that I wanted to celebrate a success! I got my flashing smiley today on the CB monitor so it’s go time!
CS/Q:
@fitzfizz ugh that really sucks that you won't be able to try this month! Sometimes I break from the dailies and only post in the weekly threads like UO, etc.

CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: seduction, temping, guess I'm doing OPKs now, supplements, GF and DF diet, measles vaccine
R/R: today is my follow up appointment with my PCP to talk about how things are going on the antidepressant. Hopefully the first dose of the measles vaccine is included 🤞 I really don't know though because it hasn't been specifically said to me when I would be having it done. Whatever. Just trying to think of other things instead of freaking out about how long it's taking.
It was our 13 year dating anniversary yesterday and I posted a whole long tribute kind of thing to DH on FB late evening and I'm not real excited to read the comments because I mentioned being depressed and going on meds, etc. All the things I don't tell my family because my family has treated me like garbage since I was a toddler. I've always been judged for my interests. I'm the black sheep of the family. The sad thing is, I don't treat others like garbage. That's not who I am. I keep to myself. Everyone else picks on me and my parents and everyone else do nothing to stop it. Gee I wonder why my mental health has been in the toilet for years?? I'm sure the responses are going to be some generic "we love you" message. Or "why didn't you talk to us about this". Again, gee I wonder why!
CS/Q: false alarm 😆 ovulation has not occurred. Might eventually discard that 1 high temp but we'll see.

@fitzfizz ugh!! I can’t believe that they weren’t able to get the results back in a timely manner. That is so so frustrating. I’m sorry that this is happening to you.
@inthewoods23 happy anniversary!! And I hope the visit goes well. FX they give you that vaccine!

R/R: Today is my last day of self-isolation after being out of the state for vacation. I’m having very mixed feelings about going into the school building tomorrow (kids start in-person today). On one hand I’ve been feeling very out of it doing all the beginning of the year stuff virtually, but obviously I’m also not looking forward to being in a building with a ton of people. I’m sure it’ll be fine!
CS/Q: I was so totally convinced O was yesterday, but judging by this temp dip it’s today. Gotta work on convincing DH for one more HIO session tonight!
@bows22 lol I think this is the first time I've written seduction but it's gonna be the only way to have a chance at success since DH wants to avoid

R/R: Well I called in sick yesterday with my vertigo. Today I seem to be feeling alot better so far, just tired and a little sore but going to go into work as we have a very busy day today. Been having a lot of dizziness, headaches and nausea.
I hope it goes away soon. Does anyone else get headaches during there AF time from hormones?
CS/Q: Nothing exciting.
@runningoncookies GL with going back into the school building tomorrow. Hopefully it goes ok. HIO tonight! lol 😉
@bows22 Yay for the flashing smiley OPK. Go get it girl 😉lol also, congrats for the breakthrough at work yesterday. Good job. Sounded like a big headache.
@chindimples04 You are not alone today.. I thought it was Friday also haha. Damit its not
@fitzfizz Ugh that sucks. I'm sorry you won't get your results/testing back in time to try this cycle. That's frustrating. I'm sorry it's making you in a funk. I hope your able to cheer up soon.
@inthewoods23 I'm so sorry you got treated like garbage since you were a toddler. That's horrible. They should treat you better. Well if it's any consolation, I like you and think your amazing. ❤ I hope your appt today goes well and also I hope you can also get the measles vaccine too.
@fitzfizz ugh that's totally frustrating, I'm sorry for the delay. I hope you can do something fun this weekend to take your mind off it.
@bows22 woo, wins all around! You go girl!
