I though working more hours would keep me busy and away from obsession. Which worked last week. But this week? With fewer symptoms and days away from AF or magic pee stick of wonder, ttc is a distraction from work. I am unmotivated, disinterested, and ready to go home about ten minutes after I get [...]
5 or 6 DPO (FF says 5, my intuition and what I know from my appointments tells me 6) Today I feel like a foggy version of myself. Some nausea when I woke up, which isn’t normal for me, and heavy headed. In the past few days, I have had random bouts of nausea (at [...]
“You are 4 days past ovulation (DPO). You just ovulated. You are entering the waiting phase of the cycle.” [emphasis mine] These past four days don’t feel like, JUST to me, FF. Not at all.
Substitute thermometer fell on floor in middle of night. Substitute thermometer did Not beep when I pushed the button this am. Despite whacking it on a radiator (my father’s solution for all manner of broken electronic), which turned the temp to Celsius, substitute thermometer no longer functions. It’s ok, I wasn’t looking forward to this [...]

A post, but first thanks for all the well wishes and a toast: To all of you fine women who are able to maintain some semblance of composure following your first (or any subsequent) IUI, cheers. To everyone else, after weeks of “Questions of the Week” and cerebral ranting, I finally understand. This isn’t a [...]
Temperature dropped like it should be right around now. Good signs all around, since this is theoretically the second-to-last cycle before all systems are go. Not a picture perfect chart, but lower to higher to lower temperatures make for a happy me! It’s nice to finally be a little less anxious about what the thermometer [...]
… you begin arguing with FF at CD9 because it says you ovulated even though you are fairly certain, by both symptom and history, there is no way that could have happened and feel so vindicated by the appearance of EWCM that you call your wife into the bathroom to witness your victory and want [...]
… because since I got my thyroid more straightened out (and maybe also with the change in seasons and weather, increase in exercise, the color of the sky – who knows?!), my charts have been fairly stable and clearly biphasic. Even this month, when I did not get a positive OPK (I could see a [...]
*** EDITED TO ADD: This is totally NOT a freakout at all… it’s more just the questions swimming in my head that I want to be thinking about in more detail for myself Just waiting for lab results and an endo appointment in three weeks. I was talking to a friend the other day about [...]
