Re: WTO Tuesday 10/13
Month/Cycle: 10/3 AL
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, PNV
R/R: Good news yesterday from the lab! I’ll post a little more info in the weekly thread, but essentially this was good news, it came back faster than planned, and there is no more testing to be done. Perfect timing as I think I’m about to move to TWW.
CS/Q: Just to be confusing, temp is up today but OPKs were not positive until this morning. I’m not sure what to make of that as far as tracking, but I think I’m ovulating today?
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU:vitamins, BBT through O, OPKs
R/R: after my appointment yesterday with my PCP, she suggested I drop everything I’m doing to track, as she suspects it’s not helping my mental health state (duh). So I compromised and said I’d keep POAS and I’d temp through 3dpo, so that’s what I’m trying. I also start a new anxiety/depression nee today. Hoping I react okay to it. Our super chilly, Fall weather week starts today. I’ll also be heavily stalking prime day deals while working. 🙈 Oops.

Me: 26 DH: 27
TTC #1 | June '18-August '18 | DD | Born April 21, 2019 | Due May 10, 2019
TTC#2 | June '20-February '21 | DS | Due October 27, 2021
@chindimples04 I hope you find a good balance between tracking and your mental health. TTC itself is such a mind f*ck you gotta do what works best for you!

WAYDTGKU: bleeding & meeting with RE today
R/R: I'm really nervous the RE is going to tell us to just keep trying or that that we're both healthy so there's nothing he can do. I did the intake call with the nurse yesterday and she said that with blocked tubes the dr will a lot of times just say that it could have been a spasm or the contrast just went the path of least resistance if there no indicators for a blocked tube (ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic surgery or a previous chlamydial infection) none of which I have had.
CS/Q: nothing yet
DS: 6/1/18 (Pre-E; IUGR; seizures; NICU)
TTC #2: 12/2019
Sept 2020: HSG possible blocked right tube
Nov 2020: Letrozole + TI - BFN
Dec 2020: Letrozole + TI - BFP!!! EDD 9/18
@krash_ good luck today! Looking forward to your update.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU: temping, opks
R/R: I found a $5 bill on the ground this morning so got myself a free Starbucks woohoo!
CS/Q: None
@krash_ I hope you got some good input from your RE today!
@canucklehead123 yum! Such a nice treat for yourself!
Month/Cycle: 11/10
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: Clomid (took my last dose yesterday!!!), ovidrel, IUI
R/R: DH and I bought some trees for our backyard over the weekend and they got delivered today! I’m so excited to put them in the ground. They’re going to be so pretty! Other than that, I had a boring Tuesday. It’s weird that football is on tonight but we will watch it anyway lol.

WAYDTGKU: tracking cm, hio, FF
R/R: work was so busy today. I took a 4 day weekend then offered to help staff the nursing unit today, which means my actual work got shoved to the side.
I had a terrible episode of vertigo a couple weeks ago, so I really thought I might be KU, but then AF showed up so I’m back in the WTO.
CS/Q: none
@chindimples04 Your plan of stopping temping after 3DPO sounds like a good one to reduce anxiety. Hope the new meds help you feel better soon!
@canucklehead123 Woohoo for finding money! I bet that drink tasted extra delish😄
CD: 16–one of the longest cycles I’ve had
WAYDTGKU: So much: Meds & vitamins & good ol’ horizontal wrestling 🤼♀️ 😆 (MH’s alternative to “Baby dancing”)
R/R: Rave is that we got a new fertility treatment & met a new IVF doctor. Felling good about having more possibilities/options. No rants today!
CS/Q: Oops. I guess the rant is that I forgot to temp a couple of times while we were traveling. Not sure what FF will make of my chart.
