    WAYDTGKU: temping, opk 

    R/R: I have fallen down the rabbit hole of YouTube videos on voiceover work.  I have always wanted to narrate audiobooks.  I definitely couldn’t quit my day job but I am excited to try dabbling in something new.

    **TW** TTC History
    TTC#3 since Nov 2020 at ages 35 & 39
    TTC#1 - 2 IVF cycles, 4 transfers, 2 miscarriages (LC age 4)

  • @dobbysfavoritesock I’ve always wanted to do voiceover work as well but wouldn’t know where to begin. I’m really good at doing a bunch of different voices. I actually came first at our NJ state championships for this acting competition we did in school for the voice acting category! 

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD: 4

    WAYDTGKU: PNV, SMEP, charting (FF, BBT, CM, CP), OPKs

    R/R: feeling much better since yesterday! I actually ended up being quite productive yesterday which definitely lifted my spirits and I won £74 on the lottery last night 😏


    CS/Q: not yet

    Me: 29 | DH: 28
    Due: 6 Nov 2021

    WAYDTGKU: temping, OPKs, GF and DF diet, supplements

    R/R: we're getting freezing rain, then more snow today. Friday or Saturday our temps drop to below 0. And I'm talking fahrenheit so you know it's f*cking cold. Brrrr. Weekend is almost here!

    CS/Q: first positive OPK at 10:30 last night. It's go time! I think my OPK issue yesterday was based on all the water I was drinking. I had Premom say one in the afternoon was 0.54, then the next one was 0.18! So I don't think they're duds, I think I just hydrated too much.

  • @jackie_dunny That’s really neat!  It seems like there’s been a move towards home recording as technology gets cheaper and more accessible.  Congrats on the cash!

    @dobbysfavoritesock that sounds like a fun job! Except for me... I hear my voice in a video and think, “ew, is that what sound like?!

    @jackie_dunny so glad you’re feeling better! Winning money never hurts haha. 

    @inthewoods23 glad you got that figured out and for the peak! I basically dehydrated myself yesterday trying to get a peak result.

    Month/Cycle: 7/1AL

    CD: 16

    WAYDTGKU: OPKs

    R/R: Once I got organized with work yesterday, I realized it’s actually a slow end of week at work for me. Which is nice but, of course, also gives me anxiety of “am I forgetting something big?”, “what more can I be doing because I’m obviously not being proactive enough?” 🙄 Always something! Can’t even relax when I have time to relax haha.  

    CS/Q: Got a peak (solid smiley) on the CB digital and positive pregmate OPK this morning. Of course when I didn’t get a positive pregmate last night I decided to skip DTD last night as a night to “recharge” and then of course get the peak this morning. But go time now over here as well haha. 

    *Edited for typo. 

  • @sienna221 I know the feeling you mean lol hopefully you find time to let yourself relax and let yourself enjoy the relaxation!

    CD: 15

    WAYDTGKU: HIO (SMEP not going as planned haha, but we're getting back on track), OPKs, BBT 

    R/R: It's snowing again and I'm so grateful to not have anywhere to go. For those of you familiar with my washing machine dilemma, it's getting delivered tomorrow and I've never been happier to get to do laundry again!  

    CS/Q: Nada

  • @misspricklepants hooray for washing machine tomorrow!!! 

    @jackie_dunny Maybe this is a lucky month for you and the lottery ticket is a good omen!!

    @dobbysfavoritesock So cool!  I hope we get to hear some of the things you try! 

    @inthewoods23 @sienna221 Yay for OPKs and go time! 


    Month/Cycle:  13/13 (hoping this is lucky!)

    CD:  6

    WAYDTGKU:  prenatals, CoQ10, DHEA, Clomid + IUI

    R/R:  Day off today and I had a neurology appointment for nerve blocks and trigger point injections for migraine so I've got the rest of the day to myself!  My migraines have sucked the past couple of months so I'm hoping they help.  My neck and shoulders feel a heck of a lot better and looser afterward, ahhhhh.  Nothing else exciting....using the day to catch up on all the not fun things like paying bills, planning meals, picking up groceries, and cleaning the kitchen that I've been ignoring for a week.  Ew.  

    CS/Q:  No questions

  • @misspricklepants yay! Glad your washing machine is being delivered tomorrow! 

    @quiltandknit oof sorry about the migraines but glad that you’ve already got some relief!

  • @sienna221 yay for the solid smiley! Are we seriously going to have identical cycles? 🤣

    @misspricklepants the snow finally started here. I think we're getting another 6 inches. Bleh. I must say though, WFH this winter has been a major perk with some of these storms. Much snowier than past winters! Glad you're finally getting your new washer!

    @quiltandknit ugh, it's nice to have those days to catch up on things. I've been neglecting getting my credit card bill paid. I like to just check all the receipts to make sure they're all there before I pay it. I hope you get some migraine relief from those injections. DH gets migraines but thankfully frequency has dropped dramatically over the years. What a miserable experience to go through.

  • @inthewoods23 so. much. snow.

    @quiltandknit ouch, migraines suck! I saw a bunch of doctors and went through a bunch of procedures last year to eliminate any serious issues. I’ve been getting headaches (not migraines) for years. More like tension headaches, but still debilitating. Are the injections effective?
