Re: WTO Monday 10/12
Month/Cycle: 10/3 AL
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs
R/R: My only rant is that it is Monday again. This was a nice weekend, but I really want a longer break. I just want to plan a vacation, but I’m not willing to get on a plane at this point. I wish I lived closer to places I want to vacation. Any suggestions in the southeast?
CS/Q: My plan had been EOD this week, but I think I was off by a day or two in starting it. I typically have ovulated CD 16-18, but OPK was almost positive this morning and my temp was low, so I’m guessing possible O tonight or tomorrow. Planning on trying again tonight just in case.
Month/Cycle: 11/10
CD: 19
WAYDTGKU: Clomid, ovidrel, IUI
R/R: I am so so soooo tired this morning. It should be a slightly lighter week at work for me, but I’m just dreading going! Tonight is my last dose of round 2 of Clomid, and I’m really looking forward to waking up and not feeling so terrible. We had a really nice weekend. We were at my parents for pizza with them and my ILs on Friday, then Saturday we cleaned the entire house and relaxed, and yesterday went back to my parents house to watch football. So decently busy, but fun!
CS/Q:
@fitzfizz same on the vacation! Please and thank you!
@runningoncookies that weekend sounds perfect!

WAYDTGKU: vitex, C and E, BBT, OPKs, CM, CP, HIO EOD
R/R: we had a super laid back weekend of organizing the house, which I greatly appreciated. It’s gotten messy and overwhelming so it was nice to organize again. It’s supposed to storm today and then be in the 40s the rest of the week. 👎🏼 I was really loving the 70 and 80 degree weather!
CS/Q: Took an OPK yesterday because my CM seems fertile, but alas, it was v negative. Not that I’m really shocked. Lol.

@runningoncookies sounds like a great weekend! Glad this week will be lighter for you.
@chindimples04 it's amazing how mentally cleansing it is to declutter! We've been staying that here too and it's doing wonders for my stress.

WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, OPKs, and HIO of course
R/R: still absolutely no sign of O. Given my LP length, I'm definitely looking at a 50+day cycle. Ughhhh. In happier news, DH and I are both off today and enjoying a nice quiet day at home. We had a decent, relaxing weekend with a brief visit from the ILs on Saturday.

R/R: have the day off today, nose is not stuffed anymore and got my negative covid results!! Huraah I get to leave the house and can stop worrying!! Today is a good day!
CS/Q: none
@fitzfizz I hear you on wanting to travel - it’s gunna be a long winter with no promise of a sunny destination to break it up 😫 Not very familiar with your area but I’m sure you could find somewhere nice within driving range - even if it’s just for a hotel getaway with good food!
@runningoncookies sounds like a lovely weekend!
@gingermama29 sorry for the long cycle, fx the o drops soon for you
@Kenneylynn3 glad you had a nice visit with your MIL. Sorry TB is acting up for you.
@runningoncookies I hope you feel better after the Clomid!
@chindimples04 I on the other hand am excited for all the soup, sweaters and scarves and anything else cozy that starts with a S with the cold weather!
@gingermama29 sorry you're in for another long haul. I hope you can get some more info soon!
@canucklehead123 enjoy your day off. How was Thanksgiving?
@Kenneylynn3 sorry about all the uncertainty

WAYDTGKU: bleeding, seeing RE tomorrow
R/R: I guess I'm not a special unicorn that get's KU before their consult with the RE. My cycles have been getting shorter and shorter. The last two were both only 25 days. I would just like to get more information and feel like I am doing something to move this along. In other news, we are adult enough to have a mortgage, adult enough to refinance that mortgage but not adult enough to realize it's freaking Columbus Day and the banks are close so we can't get the cashier's check to pay the title company at closing today. Luckily our lender ended up paying our taxes out of our escrow account so we were going to have to bring $2,500 to closing but now we'll only need about $600 which they will accept a personal check for. That's far more banking and adulting than I care to do.
CS/Q: nothing yet

@canucklehead123 yayyy for negative COVID tests! 🎉
@Kenneylynn3 I feel that so much! Help is so nice but can be so exhausting!
@krash_ happy (and sorry) new cycle! I’m so excited for you to meet with RE and hopefully gets some answers! Certainly a melancholy feeling, but I’m sure certainly relieving at the same time. ❤️ I always forget about Columbus Day. Blah. Glad it still worked out well!

@canucklehead123 yay for the negative COVID test! That has to be a good feeling for it to be official.
This is my third cycle. This time we tried 100 mg clomid from the beginning. I responded, but not as much as I should have, so I got a 25 mg booster, which worked, and I was able to successfully trigger. I'm now 7 DPT and 5 DPO. This TWW is going by slooowwly.
If this round doesn't work, next up is clomid + ovidrel + IUI.
