Re: WTO Tuesday 11/17
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: Letrozole + TI, prenatals, temping, OPKs
R/R: I'm struggling with whether or not we should see my ILs for Thanksgiving. It would us, them, and DH's brother, so 7-8 of us tops. We'd stay there overnight so a distanced visit with masks wouldn't really be a realistic option. His parents are in their 70s and don't really go anywhere at all which means we would be posing the bigger risk to them. But I'm having a difficult time figuring out what we should do.
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 12/11
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: Clomid, ovidrel, IUI
R/R: In the last 24 hours I’ve found out that 4 of my students have been exposed to COVID at home. Yuck. Sorry for the anxious posts 2 days in a row, there’s just not much else I’m thinking about right now! I’m obviously freaked out about it in general, but then you add in the fact that if one of my students that I’ve worked with tests positive I won’t be able to do my IUI. Just way too stressful for me!!
CS/Q:
Hello!
@gingermama29 This holiday season is so much more stressful than usual! I'm sorry you are dealing with a tough choice, I hope you find peace with whatever you decide!
@runningoncookies I also teach kids (not in a school, though), and there's definitely always at least one student out on quarantine every week, but luckily we haven't had any actually test positive yet and trigger a mass closing of our facility or groups within our facility. It is very stressful, I would have a lot of trouble dealing with it potentially affecting an IUI if that were me!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: prenatals, using an app to log symptoms & CM, timing roughly without temping or OPKs. We're probably going to chicken out this cycle, though. I changed my mind 5 times yesterday, we'll see what happens next week. Next month will be more convenient. But I like being here anyway. Thanks for having me!
R/R: We're visiting my parents for Thanksgiving next weekend, just them and us. I declined a Friendsgiving invitation and a recent game night invitation partly because of visiting my parents, partly because of TTC, and mostly because I just think it's the right thing to do, even though it's not fun. I'm frustrated at my friends right now for even wanting to entertain the idea of hosting these gatherings (the Friendsgiving would be at least 13-15 people, half of whom I haven't seen at all since last year around this time). We would have gone to game night, since it was just 3 couples, but couldn't get a babysitter. We have 1 babysitter we trust right now, and she was unavailable. That was fine, I knew limiting our options there meant we wouldn't have many options, duh. But then she suggested 2 of her friends as a backup, and I know for a fact those two other friends attended a college party for Halloween, and I'm sure they've gone out since. My work has me around a lot of people younger than me, but at least we're all masked there, and decently spread out. But my assumption that everyone was being careful is waning like crazy and has me more on guard lately. I'm also supposed to go back to my parents' house the weekend after Thanksgiving for a girls weekend that's been planned for over a year. My aunt and 4 cousins will be coming too, but all 5 of them are flying in from a state that has a suddenly very high and scary case rate, and I was uneasy about going to begin with. I don't want to miss out on seeing them, but I also don't think I trust that they've been careful at home, or that they'll be super careful while traveling. It sucks.
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: CD10
WAYDTGKU: Temping with Tempdrop, tracking CM, OPKs
R/R: I finally have a new sensor on the way. I had to go through a lot of back and forth with TD support trying to help me troubleshoot my problem. I’m hoping it doesn’t take long to arrive because I’m ready to be done with the sensor I have. I do not like missing temps and there shouldn’t be a reason to miss a temp when I’m using TD.
CS/Q: I think ovulation is going to be delayed. My FW has barely opened and I expect ovulation will likely happen next week sometime closer to Thanksgiving. My chart is a mess right now. My temps are all over the place and I have some missing. Mostly from being sick at the beginning of my cycle and yesterday it didn’t collect any data.
Month/Cycle: 6/5
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: charting, opks
R/R: I got some data today that I needed to move forward on my dissertation, so that’s exciting! Hoping to get to some of it tonight.
CS/Q: Idk what’s going on with temps. Ugh. Anyways, opks getting darker and getting ew cm, so hoping o is coming soon.
@Aerialmrs welcome! It's so hard right now to miss out on events but I would trust your gut. Better safe than sorry.
@emeraldcity1214 I'm not sure about getting tested ahead of time. Cases are really starting to ramp up in my area so I don't know how soon I could get a test. Last time I had to, I couldn't get in for at least a day and that was before cases were really taking off. Hopefully O won't be too late for you.
@fameonmain2 good luck working on your dissertation! I'm glad you got the information you needed.
