    Month/Cycle: 4/3AL

    CD: 10

    WAYDTGKU: opk & bbt

    R/R: We finally are having some cooler weather!! It’s like 70 now and I’m living for it. Fall is my season! I planted my pepper plants a tad late and they’re finally loaded with peppers! Trying to convince my mil to make me her stuffed banana pepper soup!! I think she’s actually going to today. 😋

    CS/Q: not much really happening just I’ve been anal about temping at the same time and it’s maybe looking better? I’ve also had some cocktails the past couple nights and I noticed that that raises my temps.

    @paytonpedro same on the weather, it's gorgeous today! I'm glad because I can work on schoolwork outside mask-free for the like 4 hour break I have today between classes. And I agree, fall is the best season. That soup sounds interesting!


    Month/Cycle: 11/10

    CD: 23

    WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, cinnamon, metformin for me, vit e and c for him

    R/R: back into the full swing of things at school, and thankfully finally feeling 95% normal again. Exhausted today because I spent all night watching the weather stuff going on in the area and geeking out in a meteorology group chat. Yesterday was absolutely bonkers in the northeast US.

    CS/Q: my poor chart is a disaster, I don't know if FF will even give me CH with the wonky and missed temps from being sick.

    @fantasyflyte I hope you enjoyed your time outside at school! That sounds lovely! I don’t know where you’re located but I’m also kinda northeast (technically maybe), and I saw that in NJ there was a tornado!? I hope you guys are good wherever you are and didn’t get too affected by crazy weather!

    Month/Cycle: year 6 (starting IF treatment soon)

    CD: 5

    WAYDTGKU: CM, BBT

    R/R: Just recently found out I may have endometriosis, so I’ve been spending lots of time googling how that will affect my chances of fertility treatment working. I should probably stop, but I probably won’t lol.

    @paytonpedro I have the same issue with alcohol. I’m avoiding alcohol (even though I could REALLY use a glass of wine) because I know it’ll affect my bbt and psych me out on where O is
    @fantasyflyte That’s awesome you have a meteorology group chat. How’d you get into meteorology?
    @britters314 Sorry to hear about the diagnosis. Hopefully it means you can get the care you need. Seems like a diagnosis is at least half the battle.

    Month/Cycle: 5/4

    CD: 18

    WAYDTGKU: bbt, opk, cm

    R/R: Long weekend! We get both Friday and Monday off and I’m so excited for the break.

    CS/Q: DH is home and no temp shift yet! There is hope for this cycle! bbt is hanging out in the sub 97s which may or may not mean something. opk looked about as positive as I’ve ever had, but I wouldn’t say it was darker than the control line so I don’t really know for sure. Just going to wait and see what happens in the next few days.

    @britters314 endo can affect egg quality so you definitely want to be taking supplements to help improve egg quality. Are you taking anything now?
