WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, PNV
R/R: I don’t know how in the world I let my husband convince me that we could lay flooring in the room we are renovating ourselves. It is taking so much longer than I thought, and I have smashed two of my fingers with a rubber mallet so far. We only have about 1/3 of the flooring down. Luckily today is my late day at work, and I can use that as an excuse not to work on the floor. Silver lining I guess!
CS/Q: Temp was weirdly low this morning, which made me think I may ovulate early (I have frequently had a temp dip right before) but OPK still only at baseline.
@fitzfizz Bless you for doing the flooring! That is one thing I did NOT help with when we were renovating our house. Painting is much more my speed

WAYDTGKU: nothing while AF is here...
R/R: Well, AF arrived this morning, 2 days earlier than expected. If my LP gets any shorter I'll be worried, but I'm just going to chalk it up to this past strange cycle. I don't know why I got my hopes up, I really didn't have much fertile CM to speak of, so I shouldn't have been expecting anything. Meh. I wallowed yesterday after my BFN so I'm going to try not to let myself do that today. I'm at work and have a bunch of students who seem to just be choosing to learn from home instead of coming in. I'm over zooming and teaching. I'm nearly over teaching at this point. Lot of rant and not much rave today
I guess the only good thing is that there was no spotting like I usually have a couple of days before -- I had clear bleeding this morning. Leaves the guessing out of it
CS/Q: nothing to see except a strange temp spike that hopefully TD will adjust down tomorrow
@fameonmain2 I can't imagine teaching from home. Hope your day goes smoothly. How old are the kiddos you teach?
Month/Cycle: 12/12
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: OPK, PNV, cycle charting, Coq10 and DHEA
R/R: Today is my day off and I'm taking it to chill and do very little at home! Feeling lazy and just relaxing and enjoying. Work has been crazy stressful so I'm recharging to go back tomorrow!
CS/Q: no chart to stalk! And no questions, I'm just waiting for testing next week to make plans for next cycle.
@fitzfizz I hope the rest of the flooring goes smoother.
@fameonmain2 I am sorry about CD1.
@quiltandknit Enjoy your relaxing day! Sounds lovely.

WAYDTGKU: temping and OPKs
R/R: I am really enjoying getting groceries delivered. I think I may continue even after the pandemic is over.
TTC#1 - 2 IVF cycles, 4 transfers, 2 miscarriages (LC age 4)
TTC#2 - a very welcome surprise without intervention (LC age 2)
@quiltandknit Welcome! Hope you get some clear answers from your testing workup!
Month/Cycle: 32/IDK
CD: 21
WAYDTGKU: Tons of vitamins, meds, and charting everything
R/R: Rave: I took yesterday morning off, then used the afternoon to run errands, then took the evening off too. I finally feel rested today.
CS/Q: This is the weirdest cycle I’ve had in a long time. Will likely get a temp spike and crosshairs tomorrow, at which point I will move over to WTO.
@keikilove I am envious of them! Teaching is not where I want to stay, but I’m sort of stuck right now while I’m still working on my PhD. Once I finish that I’ll have more options to get out, I hope. Taking a year off isn’t really financially possible for us
@keikilove glad you feel rested! Sometimes we all need a day like that!
