Re: TWW Sunday
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 24/6?
Timing: Hugh
Testing: Friday if no AF
R/R: it's super rainy today and I'm stuck inside with a curious toddler and a dog who refuses to pee in the rain. At least it's an excuse to eat junk and watch Mickey Mouse.
CS/Q: so FF changed my CH from cd20 to cd18. Can I get a CS? I want to learn towards 20 because I've O'd on 20 for the last 4 cycles.
GTKY: Who are you rooting for today in football?
Patriots!!
@Brooklyngirl6 I am no major expert in TB (see above), but for what I have learned I would say it's CD20 (looking at temp and CM, plus the open circle on CD19). Do you know why FF might have moved it two days earlier?
TTC #1 since May 2016
MFI – Low Morph (0-5%)
IUI #1 Aug '17 BFN
IUI #2 Oct '17 BFN
IUI #3 Dec '17 BFN
IVF April/May 2018
CD/DPO: 33 /no idea since I didn't track anything.
Timing: EOD during fertile week
Testing: prob not
R/R: just got done with a very hilly 10k. I ran with some friends so I took it easier. My ankles bothering me but other than that, I feel pretty good.
CS/Q: I meant to temp when I woke up today just to make sure it was still low but I'm not in the habit so totally forgot. Just waiting for AF to really show up
GTKY: Atlanta & New England but only because I picked them for my pick 'em league
@brooklyngirl6: Do you remember what CM was like on CD 20? Had it dried up by then? I would lean toward CD 20, but your CD 21 temp is probably throwing things off since it's a drastic temp. At least HIO timing was great either way! Sorry, I am not a ton of help, as FF did this to me this month as well.
@purplg8r: How long are your cycle normally? Are you nearing a typical end? Nice job on the morning run, you are so much more ambitious than so many of us!
Month/Cycle: 4/4 2 TTCAL
CD/DPO: CD 24 / 11 DPO
Timing: EOD during FW
Testing: BFN today, I broke down and decided to just do it...surprisingly not as bummed as I expected. No more testing this cycle.
R/R:
Rant: Pretty sure I am out this cycle. My temp plummeted yesterday and today I hit cover line. I did temp about 20 minutes earlier than usual because I woke up earlier, but still, it's quite a drop. I am super bummed because I was so close to having a triphasic pattern and being confident that my progesterone levels are normal, but then the massive temp dips 3 days before AF is due has me paranoid again. My LP is 14 days, so I guess I will have to see if that stays true this cycle, but this will be the third time my temps dive well before AF arrives....the other possible option is that FF moved my O date from CD 11 (which was happened last cycle) to CD 13 due to strange temps. So it is possible I am on CD 13 and closer to AF. I am feeling the normal aches that come about a day before AF.
My only hope at this point is that I have a normal length and flow for AF this cycle. I just want some reassuring sign that my body is going back to normal.
CS/Q: none
GTKY: Who are you rooting for today in football?
I don't watch football, but DH does. He likes the Cowboys and they are out now. So not sure who he will be rooting for.
ETA: grammar corrections
Month/Cycle: 7/8
CD/DPO: 25/6
Timing: -1, 0
Testing: at some point
R/R: ugh!!! Got our gas bill in the mail and it increased $60 from last month! The weather has been almost the same. We looked at last month's charges and the distribution charges for this month have increased 93% and 60% with no explanation! They will be getting an earful tomorrow.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Who are you rooting for today in football?
Go Pack Go!!!!! Oh, and I absolutely loath the Patriots (sorry @Brooklyngirl6), so go steelers!

@BertieMeetsGertie it's okay. If you aren't a pats fan then you probably loathe them. I would loathe them if I wasn't a fan.
Month/Cycle: 4
CD/DPO: CD12 DPO1
Timing: great, only missed 1 day during FW
Testing: not testing until 2/7 if AF is not here.
R/R: Rant: I was pretty stressed because of the length of LP... it's shorter then ideal. My mom and I aren't enemies but we aren't close. I just recall she mentioned struggling to conceive me. I can't ask her about baby making, she's not onboard. Now I wonder if it was the LP phase and if I'm going to struggle as well. I mean, I already feel like I'm struggling.
Rave: it's Sunday, had a wonderful weekend! I'm honestly not looking forward to work tomorrow but will make the best of it.
CS/Q: None
GTKY: Who are you rooting for today in football? Packers and Steelers. Anything but Tom Brady again.
@dragonfly87 sorry about the bfn
CD/DPO: 22/10
Timing: good
Testing: I don't know maybe tomorrow
R/R: just hanging around the house since DS is sick and had to call into work for tomorrow since none of my sitters are available
CS/Q: temps should start dropping tomorrow or Tuesday
GTKY: Who are you rooting for today in football?
I have absolutely no idea who is playing
@brooklyngirl6 welcome back , 18 or 20 are both possible but I probably lean towards 20... do you get fertile CM post O?
@sbarluccico sorry for CD1 hugs be good to yourself
@dragonfly18 sorry BFN, hugs I hope things normalize for you. Just try to remember that bodies do weird things and can do something totally different each cycle and your still normal
@purplg8r way to run a 10k!!
@bertiemeetsgertie I would call too!

CS/Q: nothing
GTKY: Who are you rooting for today in football? I don't watch football but my friend who is visiting is a huge patriots fan
@Brooklyngirl6 welcome back! Enjoy your lazy rain day.
@sbarluccico sorry for CD1
@purplg8r I am so impressed with your running this morning! I have been lazy all day.
@dragonfly87 sorry about bfn!!!
@BertieMeetsGertie ugh! Do they do an estimate every other month? That's how ours is so some months they just estimate our use and that accounts for the discrepancy

@brooklyngirl6 My dogs won't pee in the rain either! I have to grab them, walk out to the yard and drop them in the grass. Fx for testing Friday!
@sbarluccico ((hugs)) for CD1
@purplg8r I'm extremely impressed with your 10k. My ankles hurt after running a mile.
@dragonfly87 Sorry for BFN! I hate when temps screw with us.
@BertieMeetsGertie WTF to that gas bill! I hope you give them hell. That's crazy.
@VLillyV How long is your LP?
@wabash15 Poor DS, I hope he feels better soon. Fx your temps stay up.
Month/Cycle: 19/13
CD/DPO: 17/3 (The trigger shot made this cycle shorter than normal, which is a nice thing)
Timing: IUI -1 and 0, BD +1
Testing: Not anytime soon.
R/R: My brother's wedding is in May, and I'm a bridesmaid (that's a rave, I love my future SIL and am very excited for the wedding). My bridesmaid dress just came. I ordered 2 sizes up from normal (this was a few months ago when I was hoping I'd have a stomach for the wedding). Guess what...it fits perfectly. Almost a little too perfectly. I know bridesmaid dresses run small but it was still depressing. I need to diet.
CS/Q: No temping this month
GTKY: Who are you rooting for today in football?
Had to ask DH this one because no one I care about is playing.
Pittsburgh because he wants the Pats to lose (Dolphins fan, although TB went to my college and I have a secret crush on him I can't tell DH about)
DH is 50/50 on the other game, so I'm going to pick the Packers since I know a lot of you ladies are fans.
@bluejeanbabi05 yeah bridesmaids dresses run really small. One was 4 sizes bigger than my normal!
That is correct, your follicular phase can vary each month. Most will have cycles where it's within the same 3-5 days, others will have much more variance. Also, stress, life events, hormones, etc can delay ovulation. Typically, if you O after CD 10, it's considered normal and not a concern. Earlier than that can potentially cause concern, but not always.
Personally, I ovulate between CD 11 and CD 13. My doctor is not concerned.
@sbarluccico Sorry for CD1!
@purplg8r Good for you, for going for a run!
@dragonfly87 Sorry things didn't normalize this cycle - FX for the next one!
@BertieMeetsGertie Woah! That's a crazy hike - hope you can get it sorted out
@wabash15 Sorry your little one is sick
@jess0211 Sounds like the perfect remedy - she's lucky to have a friend like you
@bluejeanbabi05 Ugh - my BF is getting married this summer and I have to go get a dress... Not looking forward to it, and like you, am hopeful to have a belly by the time I have to wear it. Good to know they run small, so I can prepare myself!
Alright - I've been kinda MIA as well, but I guess I go here?
Month/Cycle 4/3
CD/DPO 45/3 (?)
Timing non-existent... If I did O when FF says I did, DH was out of town. I don't think +2 is relevant
Testing Nope - see above
R/R Rave - DH is home from his work trip and will be home for a while. Rant - he missed my possible O day, so this cycle is completely out
CS/Q I'd thought this was going to be an anovulatory cycle but then my temps levelled and then shifted on CD42. My chart is in my siggy, if anyone is up to having a look and letting me know if you think FF is right and I did O or just playing games with my sanity
GTKY Neither DH or I follow football, so I don't even know who is playing haha
CD/DPO: 17/not sure 3 or 4 ish based on EWCM
Timing: CD 9, 10, 13, 15, and 16
Testing: not unless I get past CD 32
R/R: So originally we were going to TTA for a year so I was on BCP for the 3 months we were TTA. I had horrible side effects from it and stopped. I will say that this cycle my CM has been cooperating a lot more than when we were TTC over the summer/fall.
GTKY: No one
TTC since August 2018
@slaven welcome to this side! I'm glad things are leveling out off BC. How much longer are you in SK? how is your dog doing?

TTC #3 5/2016
Restarted Fertility tx
IUI 2 rounds, baby girl 12/17
CD/DPO: 28/15
Timing: -1
Testing: had a BFN 10 DPO so I'm not testing till Tuesday since AF is due tomorrow. I had a horrible stomach virus during fertile week and we only got to BD the one day so I don't have high hopes.
R/R: just started tracking CM and doing OPK again (took about 6 months off tracking to try and relax a bit) and realized that I tend to ovulate much earlier than I originally thought (day 10-13 instead of 15-18 like I thought) so part of me wonders if my timing has been off this whole damn time
GTKY: I'm not a football fan

Month/Cycle: This is cycle 1 of trying
CD/DPO: I am CD 16/17.
Timing: CD 13, 14, 15, 16
Testing: Not until AF is due, or close to, Feb 3rd
R/R: I am doing what I always do, obsessing over ever little twinge in my pelvis. I also have had light cramping. I'm only like 3 DPO!! This is the first month of *actively* trying so it's finally a real possibility the twinges mean something but it drives me craaazzyyy that I wish I could just forget about it and wait until AF is due. Also, my toddler son is home sick, day #2, and I'm on load of laundry # 7 with no dryer, he can't keep anything down and just throws it up. I'm worried about him getting dehydrated. And my poor husband feels like a stud horse...I made him wait to DTD and then we did it like twice a day. He's so not interested in sex at this point lol!
CS/Q:
GTKY: Who are you rooting for today in football? I don't follow football but my hubby is from Atlanta so the Falcons!
I say this bc looking at your "CD/DPO" and "Timing" fields, that's not how we usually do it. If you have confirmed ovulation, then it makes it easy. For example, you say you think you are 3 dpo. Then your CD/DPO would be 16/3 (meaning you ovulated on CD13), and your Timing would be: O, +1, +2, +3. Or if you are on CD 17, and you think you ovulated on CD16, and therefore are 1DPO, it would be 17/1 and -3, -2, -1, O. But what you have currently listed is pretty confusing. Fx it doesn't matter and you get your 1/1 BFP! :D
Sarahleh : Please take @BusinessWife's suggestions. Also, the twinges and cramping could just be (and likely are) ovulation pains, which could indicate impending or current ovulation. I would suggest using some kind of way to detect or confirm ovulation to know for sure. I prefer temping because it's cheap and easy to do.
