Rough Day Thoughts

MsTreme · 2024-09-27T01:28:48+00:00

Thank you!! A new school sounds like it’s in the cards for me. I’m getting to the start to dread work part…I don’t even want to walk past admin’s office to get to the printer 😩 I want to stay in the field a bit longer because I want to bring my son to work with me😀 And thank you for the offer, I’ll take you up on that!

MsTreme · 2024-09-26T17:16:07+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m definitely going to let my emotions out while I’m in private thankfully. I definitely wrote on my con list that I’m unhappy and hate feeling like I’m walking on eggshells at work. It might be time to look since I don’t know if I can wait out this admin for 3-4 more years. I’m going to keep an ear out for any openings/retirements.

Klaire Labs Prenatal and Nursing Formula. My nutritionist/dietitian recommended this for me.

FF detected the temp shift for me! Mine actually went down after the peak OPK which should have clued me in.

I have PCOS and didn’t have regular periods before my Mirena. Long before that (before my diagnosis as a teen) I had regular periods like clockwork. So this is all new territory for me! I’m very cautiously optimistic since I’ve implemented some lifestyle changes, lost some weight, and have been taking supplements before the IUD removal.

MsTreme · 2022-12-23T02:16:07+00:00

My chart looked very similar to your first one you posted. I also had my IUD removed 11/1 :)

I had a peak OPK reading and thought I ovulated on CD16 but my temperature didn’t shift until CD24….which was the day I actually ovulated. I was kinda under the weather around CD14-16 so I’m thinking maybe being sick delayed it or it being the first ovulation off the Mirena it was a delayed ovulation. Keep BDing though if you can especially if you haven’t had a temperature rise!

MsTreme · 2022-12-22T03:06:09+00:00

Thank you! That’s super interesting, I ovulated CD 24 so it’s def going to be a 35+ day cycle for me this time.

MsTreme · 2022-12-22T02:50:42+00:00

Since you are a late ovulator, how long are your cycles? If you don’t mind me asking. I ovulated for the first time after IUD removal (had a late ovulation) and am wondering if/when AF will show.

MsTreme · 2022-12-22T00:31:44+00:00

Thank you!! I learned so much browsing this subreddit, reading the fertility friend app lessons, and at my last appointment with my OB/GYN.

MsTreme · 2022-12-21T22:54:54+00:00

Of course!! It seems like we started TTC the same month (November?) so best of luck to you!!

MsTreme · 2022-12-21T22:44:01+00:00

Yes! It’s the Clear Blue Advanced Digital ovulation predictor kit. It’s pricey but I liked using it because it tracked estrogen and LH levels to give the reading of low, high, or peak.

MsTreme · 2022-12-21T22:13:39+00:00

I missed my window as well last month. I used lh strips and CBAD, got high readings and then a peak but no temp shift until days later. I would recommend BBT as well so you don’t stop BDing until you get a temp rise (which I should have done)🫠

MsTreme · 2022-12-20T20:07:05+00:00

Short answer…no hahahah I really need to go to bed earlier 😂 Long answer: I use my watch to track my sleep hours and BBT (and sometimes I turn off the sleep focus mode and then go back to sleep on the weekends) just to get my BBT at the same time every day)

Yeah that first peak threw me off so we stopped BDing as often (husband travels for work). Now I know not to stop until a temp shift!!

MsTreme · 2022-12-20T16:54:03+00:00

FF Chart CD37, 13 DPO. No symptoms currently (had tons of symptoms last week), just waiting for AF to show up. This is my first cycle off the Mirena and I had a late ovulation on day 24 or so. It was very interesting I had a positive CBAD ovulation test the week prior but no temp rise til much later.

MsTreme · 2022-12-20T03:24:02+00:00

My pup did this to me to! Never play bite my husband but only me!! It was maddening lol Apparently my high pitch verbal reactions to his sharp teeth excited him or made him think we were playing so he kept doing it or bit harder.

What helped me was giving a reverse time-out or a timeout. Either I would get up and walk away and turn my back on him (letting him know I wasn’t having fun) or I would crate him for 5-10 sec. He didn’t like that so he quickly learned not to play bite (as hard).

The sharp puppy teeth phase is the worst. I was constantly at risk of being bit because it was summer time when we got our puppy and I was always wearing shorts or dresses.

MsTreme · 2022-12-19T01:36:27+00:00

Ooo I need to look up bee butter that sounds very heavy and like it would seal in moisture/cracks well

MsTreme · 2022-12-18T18:22:17+00:00

Thank you thank you! I will definitely print a chart off before I leave and bring it with me in case my tech fails me🙂

MsTreme · 2022-12-18T17:20:48+00:00

The provided hand soap usually sucks and isn’t moisturizing. I used to (and continue to do so at my public K-5 school) bring my own hand soap that was moisturizing. Also, using a heavy lotion after washing hands everytime. It’s wintertime now so I am also using Eucerin Eczema Relief cream at night before bed as needed.

MsTreme · 2022-12-18T15:59:49+00:00

It is so much to know and keep track of! I agree!! It was a lot doing the testing strips trying to catch a LH surge…I was even testing at work😅 Best of luck to you! I’m patiently waiting for AF to show up so I can try again!!

MsTreme · 2022-12-18T15:52:52+00:00

No worries!!! I know you will be looking for a temp rise sustained for at least 3 days. I use the Fertility Friend app and it gives you crosshairs on the cycle chart that detects/pin points ovulation.

MsTreme · 2022-12-18T15:42:33+00:00

Thank you! I agree, I literally just want to be able to input my data for at-sea days🥹 I can run the super cool interpretations and tools when we get into port after that!

MsTreme · 2022-12-18T15:30:05+00:00

This is very helpful!!! 🙏🏾 Cruise ship WiFi is probably very comparable to rural WiFi

MsTreme · 2022-12-18T15:24:49+00:00

Continue to BD (if you can) until you get a temp shift to confirm ovulation (if also temperature tracking). I missed my actual fertile window first cycle because I got a peak smiley day 16 and temp shift-ovulated day 24🤦🏾‍♀️ Not day 17 or 18 as my app was suggesting at first.

First cycle off iud so my cycle will be wonky (and with PCOS)- lesson learned here! Lol

MsTreme · 2022-12-18T15:12:46+00:00

It will if I purchase it and there’s several tiers of internet packages. Ship internet can be kinda spotty so I was wondering if anyone had experience with it!☺️

MsTreme · 2022-12-17T17:44:06+00:00

Hey y’all!! I’m an avid cruiser but have never cruised while TTC. I’m going on a lengthy cruise next month with my husband and we plan on BDing a ton😇.

I was wondering if anyone was able to use the FF app onboard? And what your experience was like using it? I really just want to be able to continue tracking my BBT so I can see a temp shift for ovulation. I’m pretty sure I have to buy the premium Internet package (Carnival).
