Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK

R/R: Pretty sure today is O day. I had some cramping last night and the OPKs started to lightening last night as well. I’m going to temp through Friday or CHs then be done. I have a bunch of grading to get done today, so hopefully I can stay fairly distraction free.

gingermama29 · October 2020

@chindimples04 yay for O day!! Good luck with grading!

Month/Cycle: 16/10

CD: 47

WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, OPKs, and HIO of course

R/R: Nothing much going on that's new. I mentioned in the IF thread yesterday that DH and I talked about where I am with my marathon cycle and agreed that I should call my doctor sooner than I had been planning to see what next steps are going to be. I'm starting to research REs in my area too.

daisy528 · October 2020

@chindimples04 yay for O!

@gingermama29 I would definitely call your OB even if it is just to get the ball rolling. I’m sorry you are still waiting for O!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: FF, bbt, OPKs, HIO EOD

R/R: This is the littlest rave, but I bought a new BBT and it has a backlit screen. GAME CHANGER. I was constantly grabbing my phone to use as a light to see what my temp was. The little things in life lol. Got a large iced PSL today, and it is delicious!

CS/Q: not much to see, but I have managed three days of consistent temp times!

pharmd93 · October 2020

@chindimples04 yay for O day!

@gingermama29 sorry you’ve been dealing with a marathon cycle, I’m sure taking steps to get it all figured out will help. I’d be going crazy for sure.

@daisy528 it’s so nice to treat yourself sometimes. Hope you enjoyed the PSL!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, OPKs and HIO

R/R: Rant is that my cycles have been longer than I’ve expected lately. My last cycle ended up being 34 days and I still have no sign of O but hopefully it will show up soon. Rave is that I close at work today so I was able to sleep in this morning and relax a bit before heading in.

CS/Q: Nothing to share

canucklehead123 · October 2020

Sorry ladies, the evening got away from me last night - thought I'd be back!

@chindimples04 Here's hoping you get CH before Friday so you can stop temping - I am using the same strategy and can't wait until I can ditch the thermometer for a few weeks.

@daisy528 ooh never had an Iced PSL before!! Sounds delish - too cold for iced drinks here now but next September when they come out again and it's still warmish here I will try LOL!!

@gingermama29 oof I'm sorry this cycle is still going for you, I ditto what the other ladies above have said and think it is wise to just at least call the doc - you never know how long you may have to wait for an appointment, or just to book one in advance and have that as a reassurance even might put your mind at ease.

@pharmd93 maybe pay attention to what's going on in the week(s) post AF, is there more stress than normal, travel, illness...? I think given the state of the world right now, stress is probably affecting many women's cycles by delaying O a little bit - we're living in such unsettled times.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: temping, opk's

R/R: Hmm don't have much to say - work is busy but there are some projects I'm (only very dimly) excited about thinking about starting...we shall see if they actually get off the ground. Otherwise, DH finally bought a vehicle (he's picking it up today) - so things in our household are about to get a lot easier and we are so lucky to be able to have two vehicles! DH is back in his office as of next week so we won't have to worry about the commute logistics at all (phewf).

CS/Q: I am quite proud of actually temping properly this cycle!! Chart looks boring (and that's a good thing!!)

WAYDTGKU: bbt, hanky panky

R/R: I am back after a long weekend. I also applied at the local community college yesterday. I am tired of feeling stagnant so I am going back to school.

CS/Q: not much yet.

@chindimples04 I cannot fathom the amount of grading a teacher has to do.

@gingermama29 my longest cycle was 49 days and it was annovulatory

@daisy528 backlight for a bbt is a necessity for me

@pharmd93 I loved being the closer and getting to sleep in

@canucklehead123 yay fornconsistent temping!! I have missed lije 4 days already 😬

krash_ · October 2020

@chindimples04 yay for O! 🎉
gingermama29 definitely check who is in network with your insurance when looking for an RE. I didn't do that and the RE I went with (who I really like) is out of network. We hit our deductible for in network but not for out of network so what little might have been covered by insurance likely will now not. I am planning on the worst, full out of pocket cost, but hoping maybe some might be covered.
@daisy528 I love a good BBT thermometer! I have a smart bluetooth one that just logs the temps on the app in my phone, definitely has been worth it since I've used it for so long now.
@pharmd93 are you just coming off of BC? My first cycle after getting my IUD out was super long. You also might not O at all and AF could just show up. Either way I hope you get closure soon!
@canucklehead123 yay for a new car! What is YH getting?
@legendairymomma good luck with your application. I think we have all felt a little stagnant in 2020 so I hope it brings you something fun to focus on!

Month/Cycle: 11/12

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: PNV & PNV (trying to get MH to stick to EOD but since we're both home it seems like whenever he's bored he wants to do it!), OPK's and CM

R/R: we have some kitchen remodel people coming this afternoon to give us an estimate. We wont doing anything until February or March when I get my bonus at work but I want to start collecting estimates for different options. When we bought the house the previous owners had replaced the counters with really nice white quartz counters but just painted the cabinets. The cabinets are in pretty rough shape and the paint is chipping everywhere but I want to keep the counters so the guys coming today would replace all the doors, drawers and refinish the boxes to match so it would be like the bare minimum job. I also need to get a quote for like a full gut and for an in between.

Also it's snowing.

CS/Q: nada

canucklehead123 · October 2020

@krash_ it's a Hyundai Accent - we used to have an Accent and it was a great little car, a few months ago both of our vehicles were written off after a huge freak hail storm hit our area so we finally have both claims settled now - we purchased a Honda Odyssey right away after the storm out of desperation (and we were thinking of getting a mini-van anyway) - but have taken a little more time with the second vehicle.... figures we just ended up with what we had originally LOL.

canucklehead123 · October 2020

Also have a random question now: what are your guys' thoughts on having a pap smear during the TWW? I have had to reschedule this dang appointment so many times and the next availability would be around 6-7 DPO (if O comes on schedule). I booked it without thinking and now I'm like...second guessing that decision. But also, could be not a huge issue at all... I guess I could always ask my doc while I am there, but she might be annoyed if I show up and she doesn't end up doing a pap at all... grr overthinking this probably as usual!

krash_ · October 2020

@canucklehead123 I think a pap during TWW would be fine, which reminds me I need to schedule one because the RE requires one in the last 3 years before treatments. They aren't actually inserting or doing anything to your uterus or cervix, just a swab of the cervical tissue on the outside I believe, so I don't see it being any different than have sex in TWW.

gingermama29 · October 2020

@daisy528 ahhh I wish my bbt was backlit. Yay for PSL!

@pharmd93 sorry you're also dealing with a long cycle. Hopefully O will be here soon!

@chindimples04 yay for 2 cars. I don't know how we'd function without us each having our own car.

@legendairymomma congrats on taking that step! I hope you hear soon. And re: long cycles. Mine have been around 43 days but I had a 100 day cycle earlier this year that did eventually have O. I was 50+ days into a cycle before I started BC in May. It's so frustrating to have long unpredictable cycles.

@krash_ oooh appreciate the advice! I was searching for one on my insurance last night. Yay for a kitchen remodel. I hope the quote is reasonable and you can do what you want with the remodel!

Lurking from TWW

@canucklehead123 It should be fine, but just let them know that there is a possibility of pregnancy. We do it slightly differently (usually no endocervical sample) if someone is pregnant.

It's nice to see new faces here! Welcome all!

canucklehead123 · October 2020

Thanks @fitzfizz and @krash_ I will keep my appointment!

WAYDTGKU: waiting on my bbt and opks, HIO EOD to ED.

R/R: I am just tired. Teaching during covid sucks. I went back to school to be a teacher so that I didn't have to be a custodian anymore. Now I'm a teacher and a custodian.

It's even worse that I teach art and have to sanitize everything all day long. Not to mention sanitizing my own hands so much that I can feel the sanitizer come off when I wash them with soap. I love my job, but its exhausting right now. Also, I'm going through my formal observation year and having 6 observations this year while navigating covid sucks even more than the cleaning.

@chindimples04 I feel you on the grading. End of the quarter here and a ton of grading to do.
