R/R/CS: We hardly ever go three days without HIO, and the time we did fell during my FW. Figures. DH was in a really downer mood last night, which puts me in a really downer mood too. I can't decide if me being so sensitive to his moods is a good thing or bad thing.
GKTY: What's your favorite swear word? I don't really swear, but when I do it's "damn" in a formal British accent

Ok, AF is here. I usually have a 10- or 14-day LP (I know, inconsistent... weird). Since AF started today, my LP this cycle was only 9 days. Should I be worried? Should I figure this month is just a fluke? Should I start taking B6 and/or EPO?

GKTY: What's your favorite swear word? I don't actually have one, I'm more equal opportunity for all and use them regularly! *edit* mobile bumping auto correct got me.
R/R/CS:None today... just trying to stay busy... I know people stop temping in the TWW, but I just love watching my temp go up up up! Although, It usually means that I'm mourning the unsuccessfulness of the month at 6am when my temp drops before I even get AF.
GKTY: What's your favorite swear word? What the Heck... is the phrase most commonly used. I'm not really a swearword kind of person.

Ahhh I wish I had clicked this thread ealier! @PeggyOlsonFTW I am so legit happy for you, and I don't say this often around here. I wish you the happiest and healthiest of pregnancies and a very sticky, healthy baby. But selfishly, I am sad to lose you from TTGP. Can't you just stay and play with us for a while??
@PennStateCait Sorry to hear about CD1. I personally wouldn't get too worried about a one time 9 day LP yet. See what happens next cycle and take it from there. At least it makes for a shorter wait!
@PennStateCait I would wait another cycle and see if it was a fluke. If it happens again, it might be something to talk with your doctor about. As far as EPO, I'm only aware of it helping with your CM. Is it also supposed to help with LP length? I do not believe you are supposed to continue taking it each cycle after you O. Sorry about CD1. I hope your LP is longer this next cycle and you get your BFP!!

@mrsdee15 not leaky at ALL. I got the hiphuggers, so they're for "heavy" days and I'm not having a heavy day today... more like a medium day. No leakage. I was worried about a wet diaper feeling, but they're super dry. I don't know where it all goes. It's MAGIC. I'll report back when I have a heavy day.
