    WAYDTGKU: OPKs if I ever take one, Tracking CM

    R/R: Still keep forgetting to pee on an OPK but we had sex last night so that’s the important thing👍🏻. Most of my clients have been cancelling on me due to covid and wanting to try to do our work remotely, but I have a client where we observe their in-process manufacturing orders near year end so I have to go there today. I think they are pretty good about mask wearing so I’m not overly concerned but would just rather be at home in a bubble haha. We’re also supposed to get a bunch of snow today but so far not so bad and my commute was uneventful. Hopefully driving home is the same!

    CS/Q:

  • Loading the player...
  • @bows22 we're also expecting several inches of snow today. I'm so mentally ready for it. I hope your drive home is smooth.

    WAYDTGKU: Letrozole + TI, prenatals, temping, OPKs

    R/R:  Loving my new bed so much!! I didn't want to leave it this morning 🤣. Yesterday went well though. I got all the beds moved into the different bedrooms, vacuumed the entire second floor, and had everything ready a few hours before the delivery guys arrived. I was definitely exhausted though and glad it was an off night for TI. I was greeted with big fluffy snowflakes on my drive in to school today which made me happy. I'm so ready for snow!

    CS/Q:   
  • @bows22 I hope your clients are good about masking. I wouldn’t want to leave my home bubble either!
    @gingermama29 I am so glad you love your new bed! And don’t blame you for wanting the break from TI after all of that! 🤣 I hope your day goes quickly so you can go back to your bed soon!

    WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, PNV, HIO, bw 

    R/R: my period is oddly light this cycle and almost already gone, no blood in the toilet this morning, just discharge/CM, which is super unusual! It’s been lasting a week since I had my IUD removed in June. DH also started training his new job yesterday, although they changed what they wanted him to do after realizing he has his CDL, so he was not dressed for that job yesterday. He got very cold. I already finished all my report cards yesterday, meaning I can take today to focus on lesson planning, which I’m super happy about.

    CS/Q: just boring temps but I’ll share. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    WAYDTGKU: bbt, opks, not sure what else this cycle. I need to get back in the game I guess with all my vitamins and stuff. 

    R/R: Af came today as expected. Or late last night. I guess even if I can’t track well at least my body is staying on track. Anyway, not much exciting today. Our internet is getting installed since we’re all finally covid free. And I get to go back to work this weekend! I’ll be ready for some normalcy. And some money! What a terrible time of year to be quarantined for so long! 

    CS/Q: nothing to see yet. 

    @bows22 I keep forgetting to use them too. I guess after so long it just gets old! But yay for bd! Hope your drive isn’t too bad later! 

    @gingermama29 did you buy a new bed and mattress? How exciting! 

    @chindimples04 that’s exciting about the new job! I hope he enjoys it! Gl with lesson plans! 

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3, 1AL

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPK

    R/R: just hoping I ovulate soon... I'm having fertile cm but my hpt is still a squinter from my loss. 

    CS/Q:  


    @bows I hope your drive home is good and everyone wears masks!! 

    @gingermama29 I'm so jealous of your bed. I wish we had room for a king size. 

    @chindimples04 enjoy lesson planning 


  • @bows22 fingers crossed the snow holds off for your drive. At least clients rescheduling and going virtual works for winter weather too.

    @gingermama29 you can have all the snow lol! I'm glad you were rewarded for all the bed moving with a super comfy new mattress.

    @chindimples04 maybe your cycle is leveling off to whatever its "normal" off IUD is?

    @photographerwife yay covid-free and double-yay internet!

    @baby_yoda1986 fingers crossed for ovulation!

    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD: 11

    WAYDTGKU: OPKs, cm, bbt

    R/R: I'm off today! Still have classes, but I don't have to get off the couch for those so my legs are happy about that. Planning to spend my non-classtime sewing the large stack of masks I have sitting next to me.

    CS/Q: nothing exciting, starting OPKs but not expecting a positive for a while. Don't want to risk not testing though since the cycle I track but don't OPK would be the cycle I ovulate early lol.



  • Hi all! I took a few days off TB over the weekend and it was nice to be a little less attached to my phone. Back now!

    @bows22 your priorities are straight; POAS < important than HIO! :smile: Good luck with the on-site client visit! Stay safe. 
    @gingermama29 your update makes me feel like a lazy slob! Lol. So happy you're enjoying your new bed. But sorry that your OPKs are still negative. 
    @chindimples04 sounds like you're finding your virtual teaching groove! Your update is very positive. 
    @photographerwife happy to see you back here! Congrats on the move. And also happy to hear that you're feeling better. Did you get very sick? 
    @baby_yoda1986 C'mon O! 
    @fantasyflyte enjoy your day off and sewing those masks! Sounds very relaxing.  

    Month/Cycle: 11/11

    CD: 10

    WAYDTGKU: Clomid + Menopur + Trigger + IUI; vitamins and supplements and bunch more blood tests to check for autoimmune issues and anti-inflammatory markers. 

    R/R: Had my Day 9 monitoring yesterday, triggering tonight, and getting ready for IUI on Thursday. Hoping MH's sperm is good, but in case it's not, we have a frozen sample to add this time. Overall feeling good about this IUI. FX. 

    Also very excited because my Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchases have already started shipping! 

    CS/Q: not charting and it's so freeing; although FF "yells" at me for doing that "you did not enter sufficient data!." 🖕🏻

  • @gingermama29 yay for productivity and the new bed! Enjoy your snow, I’m pretty sure we are having the same snow storm!

    @chindimples04 AF was weirdly short for me too and the thought of taking an HPT ran through my brain. I’m proud of myself that I didnt!

    @photographerwife I’ve been thinking about you lately and am so glad to see you back here! (Except not really because I thought maybe you were KU!)

    @bab@baby_yoda1986 fertile CM seems like a good sign! Hope you get a negative HPT soon and ovulate!

    @fan@fantasyflyte sounds like you are going to have a productive day from your couch which is amazing! 

    @acleveru@acleverusername time to get the party started! Seems like you have a great plan in place!
  • @bows22 not gonna lie, the same though crossed my mind. 🙈 I know it’s not going to be positive. 🤣 I’ll be back to tag other later. :-)

  • @baby_yoda1986 hoping for o soon! I’m sorry about your loss, the first few cycles after are really hard:/ hope it’s okay for you. 

    @fantasyflyte I don’t blame you! I always start on cd 8! 

    @acleverusername thank you! And no, thankfully we didn’t get any major symptoms. The shortness of breath was scary though, I was very sore body wise and my attention and stuff felt off but overall we’re good! Gl with the IUI!! Not charting for a couple of cycles is so freeing!! 

    @bows22 boo! I know:/ I wish I was KU too! Thanks for the warm welcome back though! Life has just been crazy lately! 

    @emmylou78 gl with the opks! 

  • @chindimples04 yay for having grades/report cards done! That's always such a huge weight off. Happy lesson planning!

    @photographerwife yes! It was our Christmas present to each other this year! Glad to see you back here again and that you're covid free. Glad to hear your symptoms stayed mild.

    @baby_yoda1986 I'm having the same issue with my OPKs. Hopefully O is coming soon!

    @fantasyflyte sounds like you had a nice productive day! 

    @acleverusername so glad to hear your update! Crossing everything your IUI!!

    @emmylou78 hope your OPKs turn positive soon!
  • Thanks @bows22 @photographerwife @gingermama29! 🙏🏻

    @emmylou78 that sinus thing has really lingered! I hope you feel better soon and that your CM comes 'round.
