WAYDTGKU: Clomid & TI, PNV, OPKs
R/R: Officially started Clomid today. Nothing much else noteworthy going on though. It’s another gloomy rainy day. I finally have guys coming tomorrow afternoon to address the “water feature” in my basement. They’re putting poly vinyl in to redirect water to the sump pump (which should’ve been done when they built the wall a little over a year ago).
CS/Q:
@gingermama29 Let me know how the clomid treats you! Letrozole has been a tad rough on me.
Oops this got long so I'll spoiler...gluten free help!
@daisy0322
Ive been GF for half my life at this point, and back when I was first diagnosed with Celiac disease, your GF bread options were sh$t, and would crumble if you looked at them funny. Hamburger buns tasted like cardboard English muffins. And there weren't a lot of GF recipes or 1-1 flours out. So, I've always just bought cake mixes, etc, and we don't buy bread that often. I just got used to eating burgers without the bun and prefer it that way most of the time. I'm so thrilled that there are more GF options out there now that actually taste good, and that restaurants and food packaging are labelling things GF more often!
Just a heads up, if you didn't already know, soy sauce almost always contains gluten (tamari is sometimes ok!) so you'll have to watch out for anything that has soy sauce in it. If you don't have celiac or an allergy it probably isn't as big of deal to worry about that though. Same with soups/marinades/sauces- always double check to make sure they didn't thicken with flour. But that small amount of flour may or may not be an issue, depending on why you want to go GF.
thank you so much! We are all doing it because one person in our family has some health issues and the cause may be a gluten sensitivity. So it’s not super serious we are experimenting but it’s a hard switch to make so we are doing it together just to be supportive
R/R: I was supposed to take my dog with me to work on Saturday and I completely forgot 🤦🏼♀️ So now I have to take him today. He just needs a blood work recheck and I’m hoping it comes back better than a month ago. If it doesn’t he might truly be sick 😢

@paytonpedro I hope everything comes back good with your dog’s blood work. Re: your question *TW*
@gingermama29 I feel you on the weather. My poor dog is terrified of loud noises and we went from three days of fireworks to what seems like a week straight of thunderstorms with more in the forecast.
@daisy0322 Good luck with the gluten free diet! I haven't tried it, but my blanket advice on anything recipe related is the NYT Cooking app. It isn't free (I have it with my NYT subscription) but I use it every week.
@paytonpedro Poor pup
Month/Cycle: 3/3 (realized today I miscounted the number of months...)
@gingermama29 I hope the Clomid goes well for you!
@daisy0322 that's great that you are all going GF together, hopefully that will make it easier on you all.
@paytonpedro oh no, what do they think is wrong with your dog? I hope the blood work goes well.
@pinkkillersheep I hope your shoulder feels better soon! Getting some rest will definitely help.

@pinkkillersheep I hope your shoulder is able to heal soon. Do you think it was a muscle tear?
@paytonpedro **TW LOSS**
@daisy0322 Thank you ❤️ On gluten, the best replacements I have found are going to sweet potatoes and other root veggies, quinoa, brown rice, and adding in more salads and green veggies. Occasionally, I find some gluten free pizza dough or baking mixes that I really like but they usually have a lot of starch, more than the regular version, so they can unsettle the tum. For pasta I really enjoyed lentil pasta though! If you can find the refrigerated brands they tend to have a better texture than the dried when cooked. Quinoa past is pretty good too!
@gingermama29 Oh goodness! I hope your underground swimming pool retreats soon!
