gingermama29 · June 2021

Month/Cycle: 24/3 AL

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: hopefully Letrozole & TI

R/R: AF showed up this morning right on time. I’m planning to call my doctor this morning and ask about doing a medicated cycle since my primary isn’t concerned about diabetes. I’m so anxious what his answer will be.

We officially booked our flights to Italy on Friday. We leave in 2.5 weeks which is crazy! I’m so ridiculously excited!

CS/Q:

pajamstagrams · June 2021

@gingermama29 ahhh I'm sooooo jealous you're going to Italy! That's going to be so much fun!

Month/Cycle: n/a, cycle 0 AL

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: bbt/cm, currently benched

R/R: rant: MF mosquitoes!!! I have 10 bites all over me, and I have no idea when I got most of them! The rain here needs to stop, and dare I say it, it needs to get hotter so those b*tches don't come out.

CS/Q: nothing to see.

TW loss

Today's my "normal" ovulation day (based on my previous cycles) and I'm foolishly holding out hope that's the same this cycle, as unlikely as that is (definitely being a SS, I knowww 😕)

Eta: spoilered my CS/Q just in case.

rachelredhead · June 2021

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Mira, Proov, ordered Mosie so gonna try that this cycle

R/R: we had a great weekend with family, which is a rave. But it makes me not want to work, which is my rant.

CS/Q: none really

@gingermama29 I’m soooooo envious, love Italy so much! How exciting to get away!

@pajamstagrams mosquitos are a plague here too. And I swear I’m the one they prefer to bite because in a crowd I’m the one with 10 bites and everybody else escapes with one. TW loss mentioned

That first cycle after a loss can be so weird, just adds to the emotional gut punch. After my losses my cycle returned to its version of normal the second cycle following the loss. Hope your experience is as smooth as possible.

inthewoods23 · June 2021

@gingermama29 how exciting!! FX you can get the medicated cycle started! Let's gooooo!

@pajamstagrams we got so lucky not having bugs on Sunday when we had family over. And it was a super still day. Isn't that when they're likely to come out?? I'm currently still dealing with a small cluster on my butt cheek towards my hip. They won't itch until I end up scratching them which then makes me feel I need to scratch even harder. Ugh. At least I've gotten better at not giving myself bruises. Apparently you can do that to yourself if you scratch hard enough for a long enough period of time.

@rachelredhead add me to the don't really wanna work today crowd lol. The long weekend wasn't long enough IMO haha

Month/Cycle: 48/7 AL

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: bbt, opks, CM, GF/DF diet, supplements

R/R: our Sunday was absolutely exhausting hosting family. DH and I slept in until 10am yesterday. I had my alarm set for my usual temping time and promptly fell asleep right away for another 3.5 hours. Glad it's a short work week this week.

Rant - hitting 4 full years TTC

CS/Q:

pajamstagrams · June 2021

Eta more tags

@inthewoods23 hugs, friend. ❤️

Also yes you can get bruises/welts from scratching. I got about 50 on my legs one summer, and they literally took months to fade from the nasty purple. Definitely found out who my real friends were at the time, high school girls are b*tches!

@rachelredhead I'm absolutely a mosquito, etc. magnet. But if you Google all the factors that make people more susceptible, I have none of them 🤷‍♀️

TW loss

Yeah this is probably why my OB told me to wait for 2 full cycles once I get my period, gives the body a chance to get back to normal, and I'm sure that's probably easier to find a due date since I'm guessing most people don't chart.

b_1029 · June 2021

@gingermama29 I’m equally happy and sad for you for CD 1. Happy that your longggg cycle has come to an end and you can start moving forward. That’s awesome about Italy! I must’ve missed an update, what are you going for and where?! So jealous, I love Italy!

@pajamstagrams ugh I hate mosquitos so much. Hopefully your cycle returns to normal as soon as possible.

@rachelredhead you have lots of fancy things in your WAYDTGKU that I’m going to have to investigate. Glad you had a good weekend with family.

@inthewoods23 I’m sorry for the milestone ❤️ It’s so unfair.

Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, CM, DH and I are adding mucinex because why the heck not

R/R: i went to log onto my computer this morning to find that one of the cats knocked over the flowers DH got for me last week and my laptop was sitting in a puddle (probably since yesterday, who knows). It turns on but the keyboard won’t work, so that’s fun. I currently have it resting on some rice with rice on the keyboard as well, I don’t know what else to do! Not the ideal way to return to work.

Also not to be too tmi but I had a lot of EWCM going on yesterday which was confusing on CD 9. Once again I’m happy I’m temping this cycle to see what’s going on

CS/Q: looking fairly consistent other than the one morning after drinking too much. I also converted several temps since I’ve been sleeping like trash and have been taking them at random times.

Edited bc my tags are messed up

pajamstagrams · June 2021

@b_1029 I spilled water on my laptop in college, and I just turned it upside down to help it drain. I might have tried to take it apart too, but I probably wouldn't recommend that 😬 fingers crossed it still works!

inthewoods23 · June 2021

@b_1029 as if our cycles couldn't get any more similar I had EWCM yesterday too and I was like WTF this is early??

b_1029 · June 2021

@inthewoods23 our bodies are more in sync than DH and me 😆

gingermama29 · June 2021

@pajamstagrams ugh mosquitoes are the worst!! Allegra anti itch cream works wonders for me. Mosquitoes love to feast upon my blood.

@rachelredhead also team not wanting to work today. Hope the day goes by quickly!

@inthewoods23 sending hugs friend for that milestone.

@b_1029 my brother lives in Naples and invited DH, my sister, and me out to visit (and helped pay for our flights!). We’ll be flying into Rome and staying there a couple days and then heading to his apartment in Naples. I think we’re going to try and see Florence, the Amalfi coast, and Pompeii as well as Rome. And oh no to the laptop!! I love cats but they can be such assholes!! Hopefully rice gets it working again.

knottie7bc8467b6ac68efe · June 2021

Hi y'all. Sorry for ghosting last month. Last week? Gosh, it feels like the last 10 days or so have been a century. I'll come back after a meeting for tags.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BDing EOD between end of AF & a few days past O

R/R: There was a lot of stuff going on at the end of May, so I'm glad it's June. My birthday was yesterday, so another year older. Numbers have a feeling to me, so 33 feels good; hard to explain.

CS/Q: Nada

knottie7bc8467b6ac68efe · June 2021

@gingermama29 I'm glad to hear that you're going to reach out to a doc about a medicated cycle; I hope the doc gives you a favorable response & you can advocate for yourself. Also, Italy sounds amazing, so happy you're doing that!!

@pajamstagrams The dang mosquitos are back here, too. I have to put bug spray at all doors so I don't forget to apply it when I step outside the house.

@rachelredhead glad to hear you had a good weekend; I also don't want to return to work today.

@inthewoods23 -hugs-

@b_1029 Oh no, I hope your laptop recovers. That's the worst.

fantasyflyte · June 2021

@gingermama29 oooh, Italy sounds fun!

@pajamstagrams mosquitos are the worst, blugh.

@rachelredhead boo back to work. It's always tough after a long weekend.

@inthewoods23 sorry it was exhausting, and hugs for you.

@b_1029 oh no! Try googling how to take apart your laptop model, and remove the keyboard and stuff so it can dry out inside if possible. My husband spilled a glass of water on his laptop a couple months ago, and we looked it up online and found videos on how to take off the bottom covering and the keyboard and such and were able to get paper towels in there, and left it open to air dry for about 2 days. It ended up being completely fine afterward.
Unrelated to the laptop, I had the same thing this cycle, had TONS of EWCM on Sunday, but no temp shift or opk change. Which I'm kind of glad about since our HIO attempts this weekend encountered...issues on DH's side (frustrating but a whole separate rant).

Month/Cycle: 8/7

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: bbt, opks, cm, preseed, cinnamon supplements

R/R: Had a nice long weekend. Had a laugh yesterday. Went to the store and got some Preseed to try, and in the instructions was a manufacturer's coupon...that expired in 2017.

CS/Q: hoping I O in the next few days but based on my history it could be like 10+ more days. Bah.

pajamstagrams · June 2021

@beakay8 happy belated bday!
Ugh and yeah, I had to use bug spray while working out in my garage. So annoying!

@fantasyflyte you and me both re: O day hopes. Hurry up and get here, dang it!
Also is the pre-seed expired??

knottie7bc8467b6ac68efe · June 2021

@fantasyflyte I just bought pre-seed this AM and feel like I need to go check if it's expired now. Is your box? That coupon date is concerning.

inthewoods23 · June 2021

@fantasyflyte @beakay8 you know what's hilarious about preseed/conceive+ lube? If you look on the packaging, it says it's only good for 3 months once opened. How the hell anyone goes through all that in 3 months is beyond me.

kgg2241 · June 2021

@fantasyflyte LOL I guess I should check our preseed and make sure it isn't expired.

@b_1029 Oh no -- sorry about your computer. If it was turned off when it happened, there might be hope!

@beakay8 Happy belated birthday!

@inthewoods23 Hugs

.

@gingermama29 I hope ovulation day is today and that you are back to some normalcy with your cycles. Fx.

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: Mira

R/R: Just still feeling annoyed at my OB about not getting my Letrozole refill ready in time. It is ready today but that doesn't really do much good now. At least I'll be able to drink at my sister's bridal shower this weekend and bachelorette party later this month without worrying. Silver linings lol. Weekend was good though! I feel like I need a day off to recover though. We were go-go-go all weekend.

CS/Q: Nope

knottie7bc8467b6ac68efe · June 2021

@inthewoods @fantasyflyte Oh yeah, no way, we never ever went through the last time I bought a box. I am *mostly* OK without it during TTC but sometimes in the first few cycles where we're HIO more often, my body needs an adjustment period and I reach for it. (My body likes to HIO EOD *at most* so doing a few days in a row usually needs a little assistance for comfort if that's what my sex drive wants that week; I generally don't stress and go with EOD since that's good.)

fameonmain2 · June 2021

@gingermama29 omg Italy!! That is so exciting! I'm desperate for a good vacation so I'll live vicariously through you haha.

@pajamstagrams ugh mosquitoes are the WORST. I blow up like a balloon whenever I get a bit, I have to be so careful. FX O is coming soon!

@rachelredhead the struggle to get up for work this morning was REAL. Hopefully your day goes by fast!

@inthewoods23 hugs

. Sleeping in until 10AM sounds wonderful! Glad you got some rest - I avoid hosting parties for that very reason!

@b_1029 eek! Hope you are able to solve your computer troubles. Is it your personal computer or your work computer? Don't you love early EWCM - like body what are you doing?

@beakay8 happy birthday! Did you do anything fun to celebrate?

@fantasyflyte omg! How long has that been on the shelf haha

@kgg2241 that's so frustrating about your OB! Have you gotten into contact with her at all?

Month/Cycle: 13/12

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: things

R/R: I was shocked to wake up this morning and realize it was CD15. I'm probably a little late to start CBAD but I'll try tomorrow and see what happens. The weekend was gray but my dad came up and helped us do the kitchen backsplash - I'm so excited! That just about wraps up the interior home improvements since we started renovating our house 2 years ago. Alleluia!

CS/Q:

gingermama29 · June 2021

@beakay8 happy birthday! Hope you had a great day!

@kgg2241 haha thanks. Today CD 1 though so I’m not expecting O any time soon. So frustrating about your OB and Letrozole but I’m glad you’ve found a silver lining.

@fameonmain2 oooh I bet it feels great to have the backsplash done. It’s crazy how much that adds to a kitchen!

fantasyflyte · June 2021

@beakay8 @pajamstagrams first thing I did was check the box, it doesn't expire until 2022. I think they just haven't bothered to update their printing.

b_1029 · June 2021

Sorry to ghost here today 🥴 my day consisted of going back and forth to the office trying to fix my computer and then ultimately having to get it replaced. “See” you all tomorrow and hope you had a less Monday-y Tuesday than I did!
