R/R: So I got a low temp this morning, but I think it's a combo of not drinking last night, going to bed early, and sleeping barefoot, which resulted in me waking up freezing. Of course the low temp made me not get CH on FF and I will most likely have to scrap this temp in an effort to get them, which sucks because my chart is so pretty right now lol. Was going to hop over to TWW but I'm going to stay put here just in case.

@tessiesmom26 Ugh. It's so frustrating when the chart is looking good and then you get one off temp and it throws the whole thing off.

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, temping, vitamins
R/R: I had a super productive morning so I'm feeling really relaxed. Turns out I should try getting out of bed when I wake up more often! I have to work late tonight, though, so I'm going to have a long lunch to save up some energy.
CS/Q: How many days before expected O do you start using OPKs?Month/Cycle: 12/3AL

WAYDTGKU: vitamins, acupuncture, tracking w/flo app, OPKs
R/R: so i take my MLO/SAFE test thursday! yikes! cram cram cram, study study study! wish me luck, that's part of why i've been so MIA lately, sorry! and then i've got to do series 63 and 65. game plan is to just knock them all out by end of year, and then hopefully for real i can say i'm done doing all testing re my career except for CEs. the stress has been so bad i gave myself a cold sore for the first time in 20 years!! eww! eta: i thought i was done all testing for my career, but we've added on products, and then finally seeing the regulatory stuff from dodd frank is why i have to get my 65. i just feel old - took my series 6 TEN years ago!
also - SO GLAD i paid for the ava bracelet on the paypal - the girl went totally MIA said her post office was closed - just finally have the refund pending. SUPER frustrating.
CS/Q: nada@tessiesmom26 fingers crossed it doesn't mess up your temps!
@Paturkey CBAD i believe says if you have a 28 day cycle to start on day 7...
@tessiesmom26 oh that’s so annoying about the temp! Hopefully it will be high enough tomorrow that you won’t have to fight with FF
@paturkey for normal cheapie OPKs I start on CD 10 or 11 (I usually ovulate somewhere between CD13-18) for CBAD it’s definitely earlier like @anniemarie887 mentioned
@anniemarie887 good luck on the tests!! It will be so nice to have them behind you!

R/R: Back to reality after vacation! It was amazing to have a complete mental break from work, TTC, everything. I just really can’t describe how refreshed I feel. I kept my work schedule low-key this week so that I could get caught up on some things that I haven’t been able to get to so that’s nice too.
Also a highlight from our trip is that a TTGP grad had a layover in the airport we were flying out of so we met up for a few minutes to chat in person. So thankful for this community and the friendships I’ve made here❤️❤️
CS/Q:
another update: finally see a pending refund on paypal for the ava that was never sent, and located one locally. fingers crossed.
@bows22 Thanks for the OPK tip. I'll be using the cheapies so will prob start around CD10. It sounds like you had a really great vacation. I hope you can continue to feel relaxed now that you're back
