Re: WTO Weekend 5/22-23

  • @b_1029 I had the same thought when I woke up late and these still weren’t posted. Thanks for getting them started.🙂 Sorry about AF showing up, but like you said, better than it happening at the pool! Enjoy your weekend, I’m gonna hop on over to get TWW going.

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, charting, starting OPKs this cycle

    R/R: Just wanted to thank everyone who answered my question on OPK brands yesterday! I ended up sleeping in this morning, and I don't really like sleeping in. When I do, I end up feeling tired all day. Ugh, I've been dragging today.

    CS/Q: None

    @acleverusername For me, sleeping in is around 8:30 - 9:00. I'm normally up about 6:30 - 7:00.

    @awello 8:30/9 is my ideal sleep time! I don’t feel like I’ve wasted the day, and it’s still later than weekdays. Sadly my body wakes up at 6 or so no matter what. 

    @acleverusername hope you all are able to chill a bit! I love weekends with no plans 🙌🏼 Sorry for not being updated, but is this your first cycle taking letrozole? I started on the lowest dose also and didn’t notice much of a change in O, maybe a day or two. The higher dose didn’t have much of an effect either, I was surprised!

    @b_1029 I've taken Letrazole 4 other cycles previously. When I first started IUIs, my RE had me take 5mg right away. That would make me ovulate around Day 11-12, EXCEPT 1 cycle, when I O'ed on Day 14 (and that time, I was taking both 5mg of Letrazole + 75IU of Menopur, so go figure). Even when I took 10mg (last IUI; that one produced 4 mature follicles), I O'ed on Day 12. Anyway, the whole point of taking Letrazole this cycle was to speed up Ovulation so that I can start stimming earlier. In non-medicated cycles, I tend to O on Day 20-21, and that's JUST. TOO. LONG. TO. WAIT. Lol. 

    @awello Yep, I can't sleep past 6:30-6:45. And now that we have a dog (only 4 weeks since she's been with us), she wakes up between 6-6:20 and since we leave her crate open, comes up to the side of the bed, puts her front paws on the platform, finds your face, and start licking like mad. LOOOL. It's cute, but also kinda annoying.

    Month/Cycle: 3/2

    CD: 37

    WAYDTGKU: BBT OPK CM PNV - discussing embryo adoption with MH in case I’m just done ovulating. 

    R/R: well yesterday we set out to get all the yard work done. We got the garden bed taken care of.  MH spayed the house and cleaned the gutters half way around the house and I stated painting the shutters. Then out of no where I got really sick. I felt like I was going to get a fever/ I was kind of lightheaded but I’m not sure if I did and very nauseous with an awful headache. Today it’s really just my stomach and head. Could probably get up and function today and be fine but I really just want to stay in bed. It’s very weird. 

    CS/Q: my temp isn’t a fever but it’s still REALLY high but I still took it for records sake.

  • @b_1029 I’m glad you had fun your your friend! Yes the cicadas are insane here too it driving me crazy.

    @awello I love sleeping in! In fact I’ve worked night shift before and I actually function better on it oddly enough.

    @acleverusername ooooh I love acupuncture! Do you enjoy it? I find it so relaxing 
  • @daisy0322 that is QUITE the temp spike! Haven’t seen anything that drastic on here. Haha. I hope you’re feeling better today? If staying in bed is an option; then you should go for it! I LOVE acupuncture; I usually end up falling asleep. Hehe. I understand though how some ppl would be annoyed by just lying there.

  • @acleverusername if I’m being honest I’m totally milking it today.... I have a pretty bad headache but I’m okay other than that for the most part. I’m sending hubs out for Tylenol and I’ll probably have a miraculous recovery after that 🤣  I’m hoping my temp spike isn’t just because I was sick but I’m sure it was 🙄  I always fell asleep durning acupuncture too! I actually did it for anxiety and depression and it really did help 
  • @daisy0322  OMG I was wondering what your chart was going to do, but that was NOT what I was expecting lol  Hope you're feeling better! <3
  • @BusinessWife thanks- I am feeling better! I’m thinking my temp will be back down tomorrow lol I think I had a fever breaking this morning.
