Re: WTO Monday 4.19

  • Month/Cycle: 6/6
    CD: 5
    WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, cinnamon supplements
    R/R: My email is a disaster this morning. Some poor student accidentally emailed the entire student body and started a replyallpocalypse. I have 1200 emails and counting. And since it was midnight on a Sunday night when it happened, IT hasn't done anything yet. My poor inbox is stalling out trying to run a rule to delete them all, and I have to set up multiple rules because people changed the subject line several times to promote their events and social media. Gah.
    CS/Q: nothing yet

  • @fantasyflyte ugh reply all is the worst! What a nightmare!

    Month/Cycle: 22/2 AL

    CD: 46

    WAYDTGKU: NTNP, temping

    R/R: Still no sign of O which is frustrating. I took a personal day on Friday and got to see my parents and visit/say goodbye to my grandpa. It was definitely hard; he was asleep the whole time I was there and just doesn’t look like himself. It’s hard to see him looking so frail but I’m gladiator got to say goodbye. It was really good to see my parents and spend time with them too.

    @fantasyflyte OMG that email situation sounds awful. I hope IT takes care of it quickly. 
    @gingermama29 So glad you had a chance to say goodbye in person. *hugs of support*

    Month/Cycle: 16/16
    CD: 13
    WAYDTGKU: IVF prep meal plan; lots of vitamins and supplements (see weekend post if you want to see what they are); HIO EOD, BBT, OPK
    R/R: Grrrr – CBAD OPKs are staying stubbornly low, but I feel like normal OPKs are starting to turn a bit darker. So... I'm switching to 3x a day doing regular OPKs cause I might have started the CBAD a bit too late. 

    Rave – bought myself a fun car. :) Spent all day driving yesterday (it was a 3.5 hour drive away) and then MH tried to grind them to a better deal which required us basically sitting at the dealership for 5 hours, coming and going, and "making a scene" (he's the scene maker in the family). I sent a photo to a friend who said... "that car is not really in line with parenthood" to which I replied: I beg to differ... it has car seat anchors and a way to disable passenger side airbag if a car seat is installed. Lol. Obviously this is not meant to be a care to drive a child around, but it was never meant to be. Our other car is a 19 yr old beige station wagon... the epitome of safe and boring... so this is a nice contrast. 

    CS/Q: Rocky Mountains all over the place. I don't think my temps have been this crazy ever. Then again, it's TD so may get adjusted tomorrow.

    @fantasyflyte That email sitch sounds like an absolute nightmare. But I did LOL🤣 when you said that others are using the mass email to promote their events & SM. Gotta love the entrepreneurial spirit! 

    @gingermama29 I’m so sorry to hear about your grandpa. I hope it’s comforting that you got to say goodbye.💗

    @acleverusername Congrats on the new wheels! This is a random thought I just had, but do you get any discounts on the cars that your work is associated with? 

    I usually post my full response to WAYDTGKU just once, at the beginning of the week. Since people were sharing the details recently, I updated my list with all the things. It’s pretty ridic at this point. 

    Month/Cycle: 35/who knows...

    CD: 8

    WAYDTGKU: The usual FF, BBT, OPKs, checking CM & CP. PNV w/Folate, extra Vit D3, Vit E, Liposomal Vit C, liquid Iron, Fish Oil/DHA, N-A-C, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Ubiquinol, DHEA, NAD+, Pterostilbene, Resveratrol, PQQ, Baby Aspirin, Ovasitol, Human Growth Hormone, Lovenox, Plaquenil, Prednisone, and a Probiotic for good measure! Lovenox, Estradiol supplementation & Progesterone injections after ovulation.Trying to get 30 minutes daily moderate exercise for uterine blood flow, lots of sunshine, meditation, starting acupuncture again, aiming for 7-9 hours sleep. 

    R/R: Rant: Stayed up super late doing work. Planned to sleep in this morning but the neighbor’s kid was having an epic meltdown at 7 a.m. so no rest for the weary. Rave: Will finish work early today and get outside for some exercise. 

    CS/Q: Boring😆started temping late again this cycle. 

  • @keikilove um, yeah... your list is ridic! 😰 Hopefully you'll get get a chance for that exercise today. Sadly, my company doesn't yield me any discounts because we're building a bespoke vehicle from ground up (i.e. not a traditional OEM) and the whole idea is to encourage ppl NOT to own vehicles.
