R/R: I put up my Christmas lights yesterday since it’s supposed to drop 30 degrees starting tomorrow. Obviously don’t have them plugged in but my not frozen fingers are thanking me for doing it while it was 75 degrees and not 30 degrees. I guess my only rant is that it’s cooling down a lot starting tomorrow and I’m not cool with that.

WAYDTGKU: Clomid, ovidrel, IUI
R/R: I’m back!! I was way too stressed over the past many days to check in here, but I missed you ladies!! I was feeling fairly yuck this weekend (Clomid related) once my election stress faded, but DH and I still tried to make the best of the gorgeous weather that we had! We went to a brewery and sat outside on Saturday which was really nice.
CS/Q:
@chindimples04 that was smart! We haven't put Christmas lights up outside in years, but I was just telling DH yesterday that I was going to start putting Christmas stuff out in the house this week. It's way early for me, but I need. Between COVID and darkness at 4 P.M. we need a little sparkle in the house.
@runningoncookies the brewery sounds wonderful. I was so happy to be able to take some long walks with the dog this weekend - it was beautiful here, too! Not that I mind taking walks in the cold, but the foliage around here is still so pretty so that was nice.

WAYDTGKU: charting, OPKs
R/R: Rave: I got up early this morning and did a 30 min peloton ride before work! Huge win for me. I was doing this about 3x a week back in September but then fell off. Getting it done in the morning is sooo much easier for me, even if it means a 4 A.M. wake up time. No rants atm.
CS/Q: Nothing to see, really. I didn't start temping until a couple of days ago b/c I've ovulated around CD 22 for the last few cycles. I'll start OPKs today just in case, though.

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, tracking CM.
R/R: I’m achy all over and being on my period just seems to amplify it. So far it’s a light period so that’s a plus. I’m just hoping we can be over this virus before my FW opens.
CS/Q: nothing to see.
@chindimples04 DH has been wanting to get lights up. I told him he better do it while it’s in the 20’s. 😆 Although we got a mixture of rain and snow yesterday and I’m sure it all froze last night so everything is icy now.
@chindimples04 definitely a smart idea to use the good weather to your advantage!
@runningoncookies hanging out at a brewery sounds just perfect. I’m glad you had a nice day for it. My MIL is always going but I’m always busy.

WAYDTGKU: bbt & opk
R/R: I drank too much Saturday night but felt surprisingly fine yesterday. Just sitting here waiting to ovulate, usually it’s cd 12 or 13 but no signs at all yet. Maybe the stress of the last week and specifically Saturday scared it away?? 🤦🏼♀️

WAYDTGKU: EOD
R/R: Woke up this morning with a swollen lip because of cystic acne which I forgot I'm much more prone to when I'm not on birth control. So that's lovely. It's also snowing here. I'm working from home so at least I don't have to drive in it but I still have to walk the dog and I hate being cold. So I'm just generally a little grumpy this morning. I was going to do a run today but I don't want to go out in the cold so I might just do barre or yoga instead.
Month/Cycle: 11/4 AL

WAYDTGKU: semi-successful BBT tracking, OPKs, going for EOD this week
R/R: We had a very lovely staycation this weekend at a boutique hotel about half an hour from home. It wasn’t much but it felt like being on a mini-vacation which was a very nice mental break. All in all a good start to FW.
CS/Q: I have been doing a lot of off-time temps in the last week, I need to do better so I can actually see a shift. Bouncing all over the place with the temps.
@paytonpedro Hopefully you ovulate soon! This past week was so stressful. I have avoided cable news since Saturday.. I definitely watched wayyyy too much Tues-Sat.
@dancingnarwhal I'd probably skip the run if it were snowing, too! But then again I'll find any reason pretty much to skip running -- I don't know why, but I never can stick with it even if I'm diligent about making time to fit runs in.
@fitzfizz thanks! You're right, I was ridiculously productive today - hopefully that carries over into tomorrow. Your staycation sounds absolutely lovely. Sometimes a weekend is all you need for a reset.
@emeraldcity1214 I hope you guys both start feeling better soon
@paytonpedro gahh hopefully the stress of last week doesn’t affect O too much
@dancingnarwhal my whole life is a battle between me and cystic acne...it is the WORST! Mine is definitely hormonal, but I feel like the Clomid and then the progesterone that I take in my LP just exacerbate it throughout my cycle so much more. It’s literally the worst. Hopefully your lip feels better soon!
@fitzfizz that sounds like such a nice mini getaway!
@emeraldcity1214 exposure to.... a virus? Or COVID? I hope you guys are ok and feel better soon! I also hope everything else goes well and you get to where you want/need to be quickly.
@fameonmain2 im so impressed with you getting up to work out early morning! Way to kill it!
@dancingnarwal cystic acne is the worst!
@fitzfizz looks like you had a good weekend. 😉 Happy FW!
