WAYDTGKU: Clomid, ovidrel, IUI
R/R: I just posted in the IF thread, but I’ll do an update here too haha. Had my monitoring u/s this morning and my follicles are looking good. Not ready to trigger for IUI yet but we will check again on Saturday to see. Other than that, not really a whole lot going on today. I’m trying to plan some fun activities for my preschool students and for whatever reason I’m just having the hardest time this week!
CS/Q:
@runningoncookies That’s good news! Fx they stay looking nice! Pinterest is a treasure trove of ideas for that age range!

WAYDTGKU: bbt opk
R/R: How can I nicely tell my husband to leave me alone when he wakes up in the morning? 😅😅 He wants to “cuddle” but basically just bugs me for 30-40 minutes first. Lol I wouldn’t mind a quickie but it gets to the point where I’m dozing back off 2-3 times and it’s like being woken up all over again.
CS/Q: Still waiting for my temps to show ovulation to move over to tww. Had my peak opk yesterday morning, last night and this morning were lighter.
@paytonpedroyou are far more tolerant than I. I would tell him to DTD or go away. 🤣🤣🤣 although I don’t enjoy wake up sex. 🤷🏻♀️

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, PNV and PNV eventually, probably tomorrow
R/R: well, my husband decided yesterday that he wants to make a career change, that driving semi is too stressful for his anxiety and he doesn’t want to do it anymore. Honestly, I’m terrified. Money gets a bit tight right now and he probably won’t make the same at a different position. I’m just really nervous about it all. It feels like a really bad time for a career change with the holidays right around the corner. I want him to not have constant anxiety and be happy, I’m just incredible anxious about the change.
CS/Q: it’s so pretty! 🤩

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, tracking CM, may add OPKs this cycle
R/R: I’m going stir crazy being stuck in my house. My laundry is all done this week. I can’t even believe it. There were just so many baskets piling up. I need to run smaller loads more often so I don’t get behind like that again. Now I need to deep clean all of our bathrooms and deep clean my floors.
CS/Q: I haven’t started temping yet because I want to make sure my temps aren’t affected by being sick. I will likely start in a few days.
I will be back for tags.
@paytonpedro MH does stuff like that when he wants to HIO and I'm like that's not going to get me going, it's just annoying. So if you want to do it just start with some foreplay and if not let me sleep man.
@chindimples04 I love your little chart! So cute! I would be supportive of YH but also make it clear that you want him to have a job before he leaves the one he has and ideally a job that makes similar money. Can he start some training in what he wants to switch to before leaving his current job?
@emeraldcity1214 I would like to do smaller loads of laundry more often but I just can't muster the energy! The cleaning routine I "follow" actually recommends one load every day start to finish and put away. Yeah nope.

WAYDTGKU: letrozole + ovidrel + TI + progesterone + monitoring + PNV
R/R: I was running late for my u/s this morning and MH warned me that the garbage cans were behind my car but I was in such a tizzy I forgot and of course I hit them and dented my tailgate. The u/s was good. Lining and ovaries look good. Then I had to go pick up my meds because I needed to take the letrozole this morning and insurance wouldn't cover the ovidrel that they said they would yesterday because they needed prior authorization from my dr. I just hate stupid insurance stuff. It's snowing now and I just remembered some questions I forgot to ask the nurse this morning. I also haven't put a tampon back in after the u/s. Just call me K "danger" Rash (actually don't that sounds terrible).

@runningoncookies good news! Are you in any Facebook groups for pre-k teachers? I have found the ones I'm in (for high school) to be an amazing resource for activities.
@paytonpedro LOL, I have the opposite problem, mh wants all the attention at night when I am just ready to get to sleep.
@chindimples04 career changes are tough. I considered one a few years ago, but ultimately decided not to take the position b/c we couldn't really handle the pay cut. Like @krash_ said, can he get training in another career?
@emeraldcity1214 nice work on the laundry! I also hate folding. I'm pretty sure I still have a load sitting in the dryer from a few days ago... oops!
@krash_ K "danger" rash has a nice ring to it!
sorry about the barrels. I hate when I do something silly like that with the car (always when I'm in a rush) and it leaves a noticeable mark. Glad to hear the u/s went well too. Dealing with insurance is AWFUL. Any kind of insurance, too - health, car, home.. ugh.

WAYDTGKU: charting, oaks
R/R: Today has been busy! I'm usually able to post in the morning but I woke up late and had to rush to work and realized I had a lot more prep to get done during my prep period than I had anticipated. Yesterday's holiday was such a tease, I am REALLY looking forward to Thanksgiving break in a couple of weeks.
CS/Q: I'll try to remember to attach later. Nothing really to see...
@chindimples04 the only good thing about starting AF on the 1st of the month is that you never forget what CD you are on!! Good luck with YH and his desires to switch careers. That would stress me out too right now.
@fameonmain2 I hope the days before thanksgiving break go quickly for you.
@krash_ that sounds exactly like something I would do. I’m glad the u/a went well but sorry for the insurance issue. I HATE prescription insurance. It never works right.
@emeraldcity1214 good luck cleaning! It’s such a pain but always ends up being super satisfying.
@ everyone because too many to tag: he’s looking for a change in his company. He works for a massive convenience store at their distribution center. He transferred there for a pay increase, but the anxiety of driving semi is just too much, which I totally understand. He’s looking at moving into the distribution center filling orders for the stores to be put on the trucks. It’s 4-10s working overnights. Opportunities for overtime and growth in the company, which he really wants. He’d make $20 an hour, which is really the minimum we are comfortable with. He really wants this. I’m just nervous. He complains on the days he has to work in the DC, so I’m not sure how happy he’d actually be. Idk, I’m really struggling with the change.
