Re: WTO FRIDAY!! 6/11
WAYDTGKU: charting
R/R: It's Friday. We are instituting department heads at my school and it looks like there will be some competition for some of the departments. Interviews began today. Will be exciting to watch since I won't be around next year - good to be a bystander sometimes haha.
CS/Q: Ugh, either I'm having a really weak shift or not ovulating... I'm annoyed.
CD -16
WAYDTGKU - IUI scheduled for tomorrow morning.
R/R - it’s Friday and I don’t have to work this weekend. Also hubby comes home tomorrow and I have really missed him so I’m psyched.
TTC # 1 since July 2015
WAYDTGKU: bbt/ Opk/ fertility tea
R/R: not much going on here today, it’s just super warm and humid. Went for a walk this morning before it got too warm. Just counting down the days until our night away this weekend!
CS/Q:
@fameonmain2 I’m sorry about your chart. I wish I had some insight for you. Have you used their “compare chart to similar charts” feature on fertility friend?
WAYDTGKU: Egg Retrieval #1 (well, technically it’s my second one ever)
R/R: It’s Friday, and I’ve got a day chock full of appointments (grooming for dog, E2 check for me) and meetings and I need to get my Q3 plan draft out by end of day. It’s gonna be a doozy. And also, flashback to Monday B*tchfest, the plumber is coming to the house today, but so is our landlord. I have deliberately left the house and don’t intend to be there while His Rude Highness is. So I’ll have to figure out where I’m gonna work from with my dog (dropped her off for grooming at 7:30am!).
CS/Q: will be interesting to see how low my temp drops with all the drugs. 🤓

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Mira, Proov, Mosie, HIO, anti-inflammatory diet
R/R: Hallelujah Friday! We have a busy weekend planned, which is fun! I’ll start FW tomorrow so hoping to squeeze in BD this weekend and then rely on Mosie for -1 and O, I think.
CS/Q: anybody else actually feel kinda crappy during FW? I don’t know if it’s sensitivity to estrogen surging or something but I just feel bleh during FW sometimes.
@acleverusername smart move getting out of the house! Glad you don't have to personally deal with him again. I haven't tried Proov strips yet. My RE appt is on July 7 so I'm not too worried - money will be getting tight soon with my new gig next year, so I'll just hold off on the Proov for now. Who knows? Maybe I'll get a big jump tomorrow!
@rachelredhead I do sometimes feel off/tired during the FW. Maybe it's just all the HIO haha. Haven't tried Proov yet but hopefully I'll get some help from the RE next month!
