remi my temp times are not super consistent. It's around 4:45 during the week and 6:30ish on weekends. I just take it after my biggest chunk of sleep. My charts are still fine and you can still easily see what you need to see.

Got my pap done, bloodwork done, and my doctor referred me to 2 different REs so when they call with appointments I can choose whichever has the shortest wait time. Yay! At least I feel now like we're moving forward in some way. Although I did get the "you're how old? I hope I look as good as you when I'm 39" comment. Which in theory should make me feel good...but instead just made me feel old:/

Quick question regarding temping, do you guys set an alarm to wake you up to temp? I know they want you to do it the same time every morning but unless I set an alarm I won't be consistent in that. To be honest I don’t believe the BS about taking it at the same time. If you take it after a good chunk of sleep you should be fine. I set an alarm because otherwise I forget to take my temp. Occasionally I wake in the night (due to DS and/or because I’m a horrible sleeper) and I just check my watch and take my temp then. I’ve always been able to see what I need to on my chart (and I’ve charted for like 4.5 years).

sammysam, so glad you got all that taken care of! I also felt a big sign of relief when we moved on to the RE because at least there was progress.

Eod is so far so good. We hit cd13 and 15 so far, and my o is anywhere from cd15 to cd21. Cd21 was an outlier though and cd17 15-18 being my usual range. So I feel we are doing well.

Bluebird I hope things went well today! Yogurt that's great timing! Are you still on holidays? remi re:temping when I was waking up to feed D1 overnight I was doubting my wake up temps so I switched to vaginal temping. It was awkward but very effective and consistent. An option, anyways.

sammysam better to be doing something than nothing is how I feel, I hope your testing can inform how you proceed. And I hope I look good enough to get doubted on my age at 39! ☺️

Tlex, we just drove home today and I sort of wish we had an extra day or two. I'm happy to be home though, because daycare is open Thursday and Friday and I have haircuts and mani pedis planned for the next two days because I'm on spring break all week!

"What, you're forty? You can't possibly be! Forty? Really?" I've never looked my age. When I was twelve I had to show proof of age to prove how young I was, otherwise I was always charged full price fares. Then as soon as I got to eighteen and wanted to buy alcohol and get into clubs, I had to use it to prove how old I was. Aargh!

purple haha. I'm the same. I grew quickly (I was 5'11" by age 11...which is when I stopped growing) and so people always assumed I was older. Then in my 20s and 30s people have always thought I was younger. In my early 30s I was still getting carded at clubs (which I liked:). Luckily SO is the same. He's 12 years older than me but people think he's in his 30s. My students think I'm in my 20s. No complaints here. I've never cared about age, it's just recently I started feeling old when people remind me how young they are. Maybe because of all the TTC stuff.

Back from yosemite and decided to take an opk today and it was blazing positive. I am going to try for tonight and 2 nights from now and I will call that a successful effort.

Feel like I've gone off the deep end with my symptom spotting but my boobs are truly so sensitive and tingly. This isn't normal for me, even as a PMS symptom. I'm only 5 DPO so yes, totally nuts because odds are strong implantation wouldn't even have occurred. Just... 👋🏻👹

Tlex I hope this means all good things for you. When do you think you'll test? I'm going to try to wait for 10 DPO but I'm not famous for being patient. I have decided at the very least I'll count this symptom as a sign that my progesterone is up which is a clue I did in fact ovulate, so that's something to be excited about on its own! Thanks for listening to my crazy. It's just better to get it out I find.

Tlex You guys deal with my crazy constantly. Besides, hearing everyone else makes me feel normal! Tingly/burning boobs are always a good sign:) And I would be peeing on everything as soon as I thought there might be a chance of seeing something. I'll be in crazy mode this time next week;)

ETA I just deleted my long whiney rant about the weight I've gained while TTC. I've gained 30 lbs since last summer from our loss and stress eating. Feeling like crap about it so I'm going to start posting weight updates on here to keep myself accountable. I need to either be pregnant or in a body I like by summer.

sammysam I'm feeling very fat now myself. I never lost the baby weight and I need to loose 15 of those 30 lbs now. I signed up for a dietbet that started yesterday and have committed to running (jogging) 5 times per week. I've begun logging my food on my fitness pal as well. I'm here for the diet journey. ❤

I hope it’s okay if I join in.
Age of LO(s): DS will be 3 next month.
Month/Cycle: 19 months.
CD/DPO: CD 26, hopefully 1 DPO
Timing: -1 And today, hopefully.
RRCS: MH just got his SA back, and has to test again. Primary results are low count & low pH. I have long, irregular cycles so that’s also working against us. Calling an RE today to set up a consultation.

Yogurt Thank you for not quoting me:) Maybe we can support eachother with weight stuff on here. If we're both aiming for 15 lbs maybe we can help eachother out! So glad someone else understands.
