    WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, cinnamon supplements 

    R/R: didn't sleep much last night, very tired. Probably going to channel my energy into cleaning today.

    CS/Q: i guess technically today is CD1 since it was spotting yesterday. Usually the spotting starts overnight and the flow follows in a few hours, so not used to figuring out which day should be CD1. edit: forgot to mention that my obgyn said she'd run my hormones (yay PCOS) if I wasn't pregnant within a few months, so I've got a call in to her office to see if I can get them done before my general followup in a couple weeks. I'm also not sure if it would be CD3 bloodwork, or just general anytime, so figured calling now would be good so that they can get done this cycle if it IS CD3 bloodwork vs waiting another cycle for them, especially since if this cycle isn't successful, I'll likely be out of state next CD3.

  • @fantasyflyte sorry for CD 1. I’m also in cleaning mode today. 

    Month/Cycle: 24/3 AL

    CD: 17

    WAYDTGKU: Letrozole & TI, PNV, OPKs

    R/R: I took today as a personal day so I can get everything packed and ready. I have a long list of errands to run today. I can’t believe how close the trip is! I suppose I need to get off my butt and off TB and get to it! 😂

    CS/Q 

  • @fantasyflyte I’m sorry you didn’t sleep very well last night. Maybe do a little cleaning and then allow yourself to take a nap? Also, re: CD1, I sometimes get confused about when I should mark CD1 if it starts out slow (with spotting) or later in the day. I know different RE offices go by different rules. But I probably would sweat about it if you’re not doing medication that NEEDS to start on a certain day or something similar like that.

    @gingermama29 Yay for your trip!!!! Hopefully you’ll be brining home a little souvenir!!!

    R/R: 
    This week at work has been kicking my ass! I finally have a moment to breath (only because the tool I need to use is shutdown for a quick clean).

    We’re finally going camping this weekend! Yay! I’m excited yet nervous at the same time. My anxiety gets high and that usually causes little fights between me and MH. Hoping it wont be too bad this weekend. It’s also likely going to be O time this weekend and I don’t know how we’re going to sneak away to get BD in… might be interesting lol.

    After today I’m only working 2 days over the next 2.5 weeks. Yay for vacation! Little worried how spending so much time in the camper is going to be. Pray for me lol.

  • @LJMoon6 I did call my OB this morning to check because she said she'd run hormones if I wasn't pregnant within a few months, and I see her in a couple weeks, so I'm checking to see if those can/should be run before my visit, but I'm not sure if they'd be CD3 bloodwork or anytime. Just waiting on the call back, but I'll check with them on which day should be technically CD1 for those purposes if necessary.

    @gingermama29 exciting! How long are you going for again?
  • @fantasyflyte Oh that would be great if you can get those run before your visit! Hopefully they’ll give you some clarity on what day should be CD1 too. I definitely think that if yesterday was just spotting then today would be CD1. I know some RE’s say if your full period starts after 6pm then you should count the next day as CD1… but other doctors go by different rules. So definitely a good idea just to check with them on what they would say. FX you can get in for blood work this cycle!

    R/R: while walking today, I had a guy really really creep me out. He came up slowly behind me, but there was a stop sign near ahead so I didn’t really think much of it. He stopped for a little longer than necessary and slowly turned left, you can only go left or straight, and stopped there. He was staring at me in his mirrors so I just kept going straight. He then backed up and parked behind me and watched me walk up the street. I was almost home so I just kept walking and called my husband. I didn’t see him again but it really scared me. 
    Otherwise, pretty sure today is finally o day. I feel like if it’s gonna happen we did everything we can at this point. I’ll wait 3 days for my temps to confirm before moving over to tww. 

    CS/Q:

    @fantasyflyte sorry about cd 1. Hopefully the blood work will give you some insight! I wish I had more energy to clean lol

    @gingermama29 your trip is so close!!!! That’s so exciting!!! 

    @ljmoon6 I hope you enjoy camping and can sneak away lol. That’s happened to us before too… 🥸 I love spending time in the camper, and we will be Saturday to Sunday probably every weekend this summer, but I’m a little jealous you get to spend so much time!! Mh has a vacation 6/26-7/5 so we’ll get to spend all that time in the camper and I’m very excited!!

  • @LJMoon6 ooh have fun camping? Do you camp in a tent or RV?

    @fantasyflyte we’ll be in Italy for a week! I’m so crazy excited!

    @paytonpedro ugh I’m sorry you got creeped out today. I hate how common it is for women. Yay for O day!!

    R/R: it’s Friday! We’re hosting my little sister’s engagement party tomorrow and I took Monday off so it’s a long weekend for me! 

    CS/Q: 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
    My Mira chart is just not making sense. I either didn’t ovulate, ovulated but I missed the LH surge, or I’m going to ovulate wag later than normal. Can’t figure it out. And since I’m fuzzy on O, I’m not sure when to use the Proov strips to confirm O. It’s like a Möbius strip of confusion! I’ll stay here for another couple days since I don’t know what the hell is going on. 

    @gingermama29 ITALY!!!!!!!!!
    @paytonpedro I’m so sorry about the creeper! I’m glad you’re safe but those experiences can really rattle you.
    This month’s chart: 


  • *lurking again*
    @rachelredhead estrogen surge comes before the LH surge right? Wouldn't you see an LH surge in the next couple days then for a confirmed O? I'm just thinking in terms of how the CBAD OPKs work. Hope you get some clarity soon on your cycle!

  • @inthewoods23 yeah, you’re right. So maybe I’ll get a surge in a couple days and my cycle is just longer this month. But last month my chart looked soooo different and I had an estrogen surge after my LH surge, too (which is evidently pretty common according to Google). I’ll keep using OPKs and see if I can figure something out. 

    Also, totally posted on Thursday instead of Friday by accident and I’m too lazy to repost in the right place. TGIF!
