WAYDTGKU?: vitex, C and E, BBT, OPKs, CM, CP, HIO EOD
R/R: today marks a new month of TTC. I have a few pet checks this weekend (walking a 1 year old goldendoodle for $$$) then going to see my parents to see my aunt and uncle who I have seen in 20 months. Super nice weekend here, so hope to spend as much time outside as possible before fall/winter kick in to stay all day.
CS/Q: my chart’s smiling at me. 🤣
GTKY: 3 Musketeers are awful. Those can go easily!

WAYDTGKU?: BBT, OPKs, planning EOD during FW
R/R: I have a full weekend with no work and no plans and I am so happy about it!
CS/Q:
GTKY: Butterfinger is the worst, but 3 musketeers can also go and I would still be happy
@chindimples04 oh enjoy spending time with your aunt and uncle! Not seeing extended family through all of this has really sucked.
@fitzfizz enjoy your whole weekend off!! I’m hoping to get one of those soon too but I’ll live vicariously through you for now. I hope you do absolutely nothing (or whatever you want to do!)

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM
R/R: Blazing positive OPK this morning so this is historically O day. I’m going to have to be better about the CBDA next time. (Or just hope there isn’t a next time haha.) Like usual I’m heading into the office today and feeling a little overwhelmed but I’m thinking/hoping I’ll leave today feeling like there is an end in sight. Tomorrow I’m hoping to get out of the house a little in the morning even just to take a walk and then just relax and watch football and do laundry! Have a great weekend everyone and I’ll see you in the TWW!
CS/Q:
GTKY: I know this is an UO, but I’ve never been a fan of snickers. I don’t get the appeal. I like all of the rest of them so that’s definitely the one to go!
Month/Cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU?: BBT, OPKs, pnv, cm, HIO
R/R: I forgot to order groceries before midnight so our delivery today is just a random assortment of stuff and I didn’t get things to make thanksgiving dinner. 😭😭😭🤦🏽♀️ I’m so upset with myself but I was so preoccupied last night that I forgot and my H didn’t remind me. The grocery stores near us SUCK for options because they’re small so my H will have to bike to the big one and bike home with groceries in the rain 😬😬.
CS/Q: I am back!! 🤦🏽♀️
GTKY:
I don’t eat any of these as I don’t eat dairy. 😅😅
*Live, Love, Laugh, Learn*
@fitzfizz, those are the BEST weekends. Enjoy!
@chindimples04, omg a baby golden doodle! I love puppies so much.
*Live, Love, Laugh, Learn*
@AKuzReve I am dairy free too, for now, but when I wasn’t 3 musketeers were gross. 🤣 Happy early Thanksgiving! I hope you are able to find some groceries to make a beautiful meal. ❤️

WAYDTGKU?: going to track temps and cm way better this cycle and opks
R/R: for those who may be following my H’s track record - I’ll add that he went to the pumpkin patch yesterday and FORGOT TO BRING HOME A PUMPKIN. That’s one giant wtf from me.
CS/Q: Nothing to show yet
GTKY: I don’t think I’ve ever had a 3 musketeers so I’ll say that.
Back for tags later!
@bows & @AKuzReve We don’t have grocery delivery in our area, but both of your posts are making me consider at least starting to order ahead for pickup. @AKuzReve Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
@chindimples04 Lucky you that you get to spend time with family. I hope you’ve been able to get some good support from them this weekend.

WAYDTGKU?: Lots of anti-inflammatory meds, vitamins, & diet. Trying a new treatment this month
R/R: Rave: We have been traveling this weekend for the treatment. It’s been non-stop but I feel like we’ve gotten so much accomplished! And, it’s been too hectic to HIO much, so I’m very grateful that my body is indeed having a delayed O
CS/Q: Still no positive OPKs, I think this is just the beginning of FW—an entire week behind schedule.
GTKY: I love all of these candy bars! Reese’s & Butterfinger are my faves, but I usually only eat them at Halloween. If I had to choose, Musketeers & Twix can go because they’re so sweet
@keikilove Sorry your weekend has been so hectic, but at least your ovaries seem to be cooperating to hopefully let you get some good timing in. I hope the LIT helps and you pull an @inthewoods23 before you even need the next round!
@canucklehead123 reaction to your husband's trip to PP in spoiler... did he bring back ANYTHING? Maybe something to go with those frozen burritos?

@chindimples04 I had a twix for the first time ever about 1 year ago. And omg they’re delicious. Before I went dairy free, I’d eat like 3 mini ones a day 🤣.

@fitzfizz sounds like a great weekend! My weekend was suddenly that as well as I still haven’t had my test results back yet so stuck in isolation at home until further notice (a bit of a blessing really!!)
Ok well H did redeem himself slightly by going to Costco this morning and restocking on ALL of my fave snacks. He also did get a pumpkin pie to replace the apple he bought originally... still did not acquire a pumpkin 😂. Tw - LO mentioned
