    WAYDTGKU: NTNP, temping

    R/R: CD 38 and no sign of O yet. I’m grateful that the plan is to start medicated cycles again after this one is over. Aside from my annoying cycle, it was a pretty chill weekend. My parents will be returning from Florida this week which is a couple weeks earlier than they would usually since my grandpa terminated all medical treatment. He’s still alive and was able to arrange to go home as he’s on hospice care. My aunts and uncles are taking turns staying with him and hopefully my mom will get to see him.

    R/R: another week, another round of "covid or cold (or allergies)?" 🙄 Spring is definitely my least favorite season, but thankfully (?) it doesn't last long here and we move straight to summer. But ask me again in summer what my least favorite season is, I won't say spring 😂🥵
    CS/Q: as I predicted, my recent high temps have screwed up FF's ovulation prediction, and FF thinks I'm actually 3 DPO already. I still think no, because normally all my LP temps are much higher. Going to hang here for now because if everything goes as it normally does, today is ovulation day. 
    This month's chart, followed by the last 3 months in spoiler...



    Seems off, since not only was my FP 3 days shorter, but LP temps are too low. I really don't think I ovulated already but we'll see!

    @gingermama29 hugs ❤️❤️  sorry your cycle is being so annoying, on top of everything else you've got going on.

    @pajamstagrams sorry FF is being weird on you.  Hopefully it works itself out.

    R/R: The Monday blues are hitting me hard today.  I just don't feel like working.  On another note, I started working out this weekend.  I am so not a work out person so this is big for me.  Just doing 20 minutes YouTube wok outs but MAN am I sore today.  Going to try to keep it up a few days a week. 

    CS/Q: Nope.

    @gingermama29 I feel you on the late O. I hope your mom is able to get in to see your grandfather.
    @pajamstagrams that is odd on your temps, I can see what you mean with this cycle's being low. Fingers crossed for you that it's actually today like you expect!
    @ReadyForaB that's great on the exercise! I really need to find some kind to do myself, especially because I need to lose weight.


    Month/Cycle: 6/5

    CD: 33

    WAYDTGKU: opks, bbt, cm, cinnamon supplements

    R/R: ha a nice relaxing weekend, but I think I slept weird or something because I have aches in like 3 places this morning, blugh.

    CS/Q: I have no idea what my body is doing rn. When I put yesterday's temp in, I got dotted CH on CD26, but putting today's yeti temp in took them away. I had a feeling yesterday was a fluke because I put a heavy blanket on like an hour and a half before getting up because I was cold, so I woke up hot. I'll probably discard yesterday's temp. But my boobs hurt like hell and I want to actually ovulate soon please body!


  • Options
    @gingermama29 hope your mom can see him too <3 can't wait for you to start medicated cycles again!

    @pajamstagrams all my apps thought I was some DPO even though I didn't see a positive until yesterday. So annoying when they don't get it right.

    @ReadyForaB it's totally fine to gradually get into working out. When I first started doing yoga I always did videos that were 20 minutes or less. I was always terrified of the 45 minute long ones! Now I do those no problem.

    @fantasyflyte an hour and a half doesn't seem long enough to spike up temps that much. Hmmm. Hope you get some clarity on O soon.

    Month/Cycle: 5 AL

    CD: 21

    WAYDTGKU: temping, done with OPKs, GF/DF diet, maybe one more HIO session

    R/R: did some gardening over the weekend. Actually we decided to stop tilling the soil because we figured it would make more sense to do that as we go along planting the ferns. So really Dh did most of the gardening lol. Still no notification that our ferns shipped! :/ We also decided to buy some very young aspen trees to plant in the wooded area. $9 each! So why not lol. They're only 2-3ft or so. DH says ship date is somewhere between May 1st and July 30th. Very small window haha

    CS/Q: my OPKs have been a hot mess this weekend. Technically I only got 1 positive (which was barely positive) when I normally see positives for a day and a half. And no temp bump this morning so... wtf. I'm expecting the bump tomorrow in case O just happened late yesterday and wouldn't have translated to a higher temp this morning. Still kinda weird considering my cat slept between my legs for the first time in ages.

    @gingermama29 I really hope your mol gets to see your grandpa. 🙏 And I can believe that you’re excited to start medicated cycles soon! Hopefully you O soon so that you can get this show on the road. 

    @pajamstagrams where in the world are you? The weather you’re describing sounds a lot like back home (Eastern Canada) and that’s one of the reasons I moved to California... to escape that weather (plus, like, lots more job opportunities here for my field.) Hopefully you do O today and FF adjusts accordingly.

    @ReadyForaB hopefully your Monday goes by quick and the blues along with it. I’ll be getting back into working out this week so we can suffer together.

    @fantasyflyte boobs hurting is a positive sign so hopefully O is just a day or so away!

    @inthewoods23 your gardening plans sound delightful; I love ferns! Such pretty plants and they give a rain-forest-like feel to the surroundings. That delivery window though... Lulz.

    Month/Cycle: 16/16

    CD: 6

    WAYDTGKU: looking for a new fertility doc (the one I had been working with doesn’t take insurance), and in the meanwhile just going through the motions of trying naturally: opks, bbt, hio eod, lots of vitamins and supplements for DH and I; staring exercise and eating regimen to prep for IVF. 

    R/R: I had my 2nd vaccine dose yesterday and was feeling pretty blah by the evening so I crawled into bed at 8pm. Had the best sleep in a looooooong time. Even my Oura ring was impressed with my sleep with a score of 92! 

    MH and I had a really awesome date night on Saturday; our neighbors just opened a new restaurant (Spanish) and had been inviting us to come check it out so we did. The paella was to die for! So so so yummy!

    CS/Q: still too boring.

    @pajamstagrams ugh that’s the worst game to play. FX it’s just allergies or a cold!


    @ReadyForaB I feel you on the Monday blues. And yay! Kudos to you for getting workouts in. I really need to start exercising again.


    @fantasyflyte glad you had a good weekend but boo to aches from sleeping weird. Sorry your cycle is giving mixed signals. That’s so frustrating!


    @inthewoods23 oooh we also got it into the garden this weekend! I hope your ferns and aspens ship quickly! That window is so obnoxious 😂


    @acleverusername sounds like a great date night! And yay for the second dose! Hopefully you’re feeling back to normal today. DH got some rough side effects but he was back to normal about 24 hours after.

    @fantasyflyte return of the yeti! I'm sorry :( are you still using opks in the meantime?
    @inthewoods23 ergh I'm sorry about your opk weirdness this time around. the garden and wooded area sound like they're coming together, even though the ferns are taking a million years to ship. do the trees come sooner?

    @ReadyForaB yay! Congrats on starting a work out routine! It's always hardest to commit to starting I find. 

    @fantasyflyte lol, you and me both with the temps this cycle! 🤪

    @inthewoods23 that shipping window 😂😂

    @acleverusername to be unhelpfully vague I live in the southern US and it's hot and humid AF at least half the year, so I can't say spring/summer will ever be my favorites. Although after that winter storm we just had, winter isn't on my nice list right now 🥶
    also that restaurant sounds fantastic. I loved the food in Spain when we went!

    Edit to grab more tags:

    @BusinessWife do you mean you're doing a full week of online training at home? Because oof, btdt and it's the worst. So hard to stay focused!

    @chgilmore join the FF hate club this week 😂 it's doing weird stuff. Isn't there a full moon?

    @BusinessWife good luck with your WFH training! And hang in there with the start-of-keto symptoms. 

    @chgilmore Hooray for peak OPK. I can't see the tulip photos though. Anyone else having issues? Enjoy the sunny and warm weather.

    @BusinessWife yay for cutting out coffee.  I am on about 2 weeks of it and it gets better, trust me!  As for workouts, I literally just typed "20 minute beginner workout" into the search bar and did the first two that came so far haha!  I am sore, so I guess that means they're working.

    Lmao re: the delivery of these trees - I believe the reason is due to the fact that they will be just beyond their dormant state and that can happen anytime within that late spring/early summer window. They aren't like the trees you can go out and buy at a garden center that are pretty large. My understanding from DH is that their trunks are basically going to be the size of sticks... Maybe an inch or two in diameter? Little little guys.

    Hopefully we get the notice in the next day or 2 of the ferns shipping. Oh... And I think I had said 700 ferns earlier when I first talked about this. That was the cost haha. It's 300 ferns not 700. Or maybe it's 400 now? Not sure. The shipping cost is $91 but by signing up for their newsletter there was a free shipping code. So naturally DH used the code and decided to add another $100 worth of ferns to the order 😆

    @inthewoods23aww they're little little buds! sounds like one of those "it's gonna look amazing when it's done but wow is it a lot of work" things.

    @acleverusername technology is only sometimes my friend! trying one more time below doing a different method

    @chgilmore oh definitely, lots of work! We've had a lot of rain for the last week so the soil is nice and damp which will help make the planting go a lot easier... when they finally show up!! Just having things look so much cleaner is a breath of fresh air. Practically having a Secret Garden moment back there haha

    I can see the photos now and I love the sign "if you are not a tulip please do not stand in the flower beds" :D
