WAYDTGKU: letrozole, metformin, IUI with trigger
R/R: Working a full shift today, but I'm out in the early afternoon so I get to chill at home later! Planning to make a pork tenderloin for dinner and peach crisp for dessert so that's exciting.

GTKY: What's your go-to method of destressing at the end of the day or on a day off? I like to work on my quilt or a cross stitch. Not that I've touched either in the last couple weeks with my busy work and school schedule.
@fantasyflyte Stinks you're working, but I'm glad to hear you're out early! That peach crisp sounds BOMB.

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, temping
R/R: It's snowing here today. Which is pretty commonplace but I'm annoyed that I have zero motivation to go outside in it. I'm officially over winter and I know spring won't actually be here for another 2 months at LEAST. Ugh. I'm attempting to make chicken mole enchiladas tonight so say all the prayers for me. Mole sauce is so temperamental and hard to perfect!
GTKY: What's your go-to method of de-stressing at the end of the day or on a day off? Glass(es) of wine, pizza, and my favorite rom-com movie. Usually something like Pride and Prejudice, Pitch Perfect, Sweet Home Alabama. I'm a sucker for all of those - no shame

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK
R/R: Super bummed to be in WTO, I thought for sure I was KU. Apparently my stomach bug showed very early signs this week and made me think I was SS 🤷🏼♀️ Oh well, glad to have another crack at it!
GTKY: What's your go-to method of destressing at the end of the day or on a day off? Bubble bath with bath bombs and quiet music FTW!
@fantasyflyte how was the crisp? And the pork tenderloin?
@mrsmtothek I also find my PCOS frustrating, and expensive. I ended up switching to every-other day testing alternating dtd, so I test every 4 days, because it's such a rollercoaster of + tests with no actual o.
@ejoseph16 sorry to have your company again.

WAYDTGKU: bbt, pnv, coq10, seed cycling, dtd, cm/p/f, opk
R/R: I didn't mean to be such a lurker, but tb erased my post Tuesday(?) and I just couldn't find the motivation to try again until today. Hopefully I can get some 4dpo optimism in my life soon, I'm way more capable of engaging with a little progesterone, now just to stretch that out more than last cycles 6(!) day lp.
GTKY: What's your go-to method of destressing at the end of the day or on a day off? I love reading cookbooks as a low key activity. No characters or plot to get worked up over, lots of beautiful pictures, all the possibility and none of the reality of actually cooking those things, yet. I also play boardgames any chance I get, but they're not exactly destressing haha.
@sejica Totally. In the past I didn't use OPKs because I knew it was mostly pointless for some PCOS gals, now I know it probably is for me too. I'm wondering if I should even bother putting a + OPK in my FF tracker, in case it throws things off.
