Re: WTO Friday 9/18
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, OPKs, and HIO of course
R/R:ย so happy it's Friday!! This week has been insane and stressful. It feels like we've been back to school for a month already with how long this week has felt. I'm seeing that lot of my colleagues are already starting to feel a bit burned out. There's just so much more on our plates this year with trying to balance our in person learners, remote learners, cleaning and sanitizing constantly, wearing masks and reminding kids how to properly wear theirs, extra supervision duties to ensure distancing and mask adherence, and no time to actually sit and get work done within our contract hours.
CS/Q:ย ย
Month/Cycle: 10/11
CD: 1 or 2 see Q below
WAYDTGKU: Idk see rant below
R/R: Idk what to do for TTC. I mentioned on my reintro when I returned that we stopped TTC because I found out MH is an alcoholic. He is 54 days sober and seems to be doing well but before we stopped we were going to start testing with an HSG and SA. I want him to focus on recovery but I know we both want to work on our relationship and grow our family so maybe starting testing will help us feel like we are making progress toward a goal in our lives. It's just such a hard time in our lives but I think getting pregnant would bring more joy than stress but the process of getting pregnant could bring more stress. I just want someone to tell me what to doย
CS/Q: AF started about 1 pm yesterday but I was crampy for a couple hours before that and just hadn't checked for her yet. Would you count yesterday as CD 1?

@krash_ That's a tough position to be in. I can totally relate to just wishing someone could tell you what the right thing to do is. You just have to do what feels best for you! Regarding your cycle - I always count CD1 as the first day of flow heavy enough to require a tampon/pad.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, tracking CM, HIO
R/R: FINALLY got my positive OPK today! A later surge than usual for me, but I also had more days of EWCM this cycle, so maybe that's a good thing? :shrug: I'm just happy to be past the part of my cycle where I'm obsessing about if/when I'll ovulate
CS/Q: none

R/R: Happy Friday ladies! I still have to work tomorrow so technically it's not Friday yet for me lol
Had a great day yesterday at work drinking champagne and eating yummy cake. DH and I have another appt tonight for our couple's grief counseling. Hopefully the lady wont forget about us again like last time ๐ย
CS/Q: Does anyone ever have lots of EWCM and then it dissappears for a couple days before O? or you have lots of it and then goes away for a day and then comes back? You can O without a lot of EWCM right?ย
@gingermama29 sorry that your week has been insane and stressful. Hopefully you can have a relaxing weekend and de- stress. Maybe have a drink or two or 4 ๐ย
@krash_ Congrats to your DH being 54 days sober. That's great so far. I know the feeling all too well of wanting someone to tell me what to do. Itโs tough. I canโt speak for you but if that were me I would prob TTC anyways just to have something to look forward to and focus on together, but you need to make the best decision for yourself and what works. Just donโt make it too stressful.ย
@lauren_0620 Yay! For a positive OPK and O. I have gotten my positive OPK on CD18 before In the past so sometimes it comes late. Itโs always nice when itโs past that point hey? ๐ I find it stressful waiting to O.ย

@lauren_0620 CD18 has been my standing peak OPK day. ๐คฃ Frustrating every cycle!

R/R: This week has been a shit show. They STILL arenโt done with my floors and I could pull out hair Iโm so frustrated by it. The bathroom flooring is in, though, and I love it (pic in spoiler)! But everything else in my life is on fire. Iโm seconds away from a mental breakdown. So thatโs cool.ย

WAYDTGKU: learning my cycle..didn't confirm O, but based off EWCM and usual past cycles, I think it has or is happening about now. Will move to TWW...for the heck of it lol. Not like I am really waiting for anything other than confirming my cycle has happened ๐ย
R/R: I really hate 2020 !!!!!!ย Why, why did we have to lose RBG?!??! Her work for the advancement of women was huge and I fear our country will go backwards now depending on who gets appointed to the Supreme Court next. ๐ฉ
