GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress?
Re: TWW Monday 7/17
Month/cycle: 6/4
CD/DPO: 18/ 5 dpo
Timing: great
Typical LP Length: 14/15 days
Testing: we shall see
R/R: I was questioning if I O'ed. I felt like a did, but had two poor nights of sleep, so I didn't trust the temps. Well, this morning my temp was even higher, so i feel good about it and trust that I did for sure O. Rant, I have to go to work and have a meeting with my boss, who I despise.
CS/Q:. Chart just because.
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? My parents backyard. They have a peaceful Grove of trees, with a comfy swing in it.
Month/cycle: 5/4 3AL
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -4 and an unsuccessful attempt at -1
Typical LP Length: 10 days
Testing: I say no, but who am I kidding? Probably 10 dpo because wondfos and totally irrational BSC.
R/R: I meal prepped so hard yesterday! I made 3 big lunch/dinner meals, chopped veggies and washed fruit for snacks, and made a double batch of veggie egg cups for breakfast too. I'm happy to just drink coffee this morning and not worry about what I'm going to cook. I'm in a great mood- no rants!
CS/Q: No but here's my chart.
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? There is a dam on the lake near us, because it flows into a few other lakes, and there's walking/running path along it that's 3 miles. I love going there and running because the views are gorgeous and it's such a stress relief.
Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: O-2, O
Typical LP Length: ?
Testing: Unsure
R/R: Rant- 14 hours in the car today Rave- but we are officially on vacation!
CS/Q: my temp dropped today, but is still above the cover line. I'm not sure if it is because I look it much earlier than usual or if AF is on her way
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? It's not a particular place, but going for a run always clear my head.
@holly321 that backyard sounds lovely!
@kbamomma33 I'm impressed with the meal planning and prepping. It's something I always say I am going to do and I never do.
@holly321 yay for temps continuing to rise!
@kbamomma33 wow meal prepping! I envy you. And I get the BSC to pee on all the sticks! Right there with ya! And that's a huge temp spike today. I'd hate to add to the BSC but I'd be interested to see if that continues and looks triphasic
but maybe too early still?
ETA @mileswithmyles have fun on vacation! Have you previously said where you're going?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Month/cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 34/?
Timing: who the eff knows now
Typical LP Length: unknown
Testing: BFN this morning
Try again Wed I guess
R/R: rant - wtf cycle... I've never ever had a 34 day cycle as long as I've been tracking with FF. All my tracked cycles are 28-30 days. So to all you lurkers out there, you really are regular until you're not! rave - GoT!!! And I finally did a successful spoiler!
CS/Q: it's not much of a chart but it shows my growing concern that we may not have had good timing. Upcoming BSC spew... to reach for one time in FW, if I assume our last BD on CD23 was during O, that would mean I'd be 11DPO today. I got a BFN but it could still be a little bit too early, right? Otherwise if AF or BFP don't show up soon then we've totally missed FW as we were apart the next 8 days and didn't get to HIO
Oh, ETA also I guess CD23 doesn't have to be O day to be good timing so I think I have a larger window than I thought. Sorry for the BSC explosion.
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? Is it lame to say my couch? Mindless tv helps!
Hi ladies! Have been missing the last week, did some love tits, back at it now though.
@holly321 good luck with that meeting!
@kbamomma33 So jealous of all your meal prep. I wish I was the motivated with it. Sound yum too!
@mileswithmyles Yay for vacation! Have a fantastic time!!
@cards10 Sorry you're having a frustrating cycle! FX that you still hit your FW though.
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing:-2, -1, O
Typical LP Length: 10-12?
Testing: not until AF is late.
R/R: hiho hiho....off to work I go! Ugh, the coming back from vacation day blues. But its all good. We had a great time and ready to take on this week! (just give me another 2 cups of coffee first though lol)
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? It's either going to the gym, or taking my dog for a walk at the lake. It is really peaceful there and he just loves to swim. He always makes me smile and slow things down for a minute.
@kbamomma33. Way to go with the meal prep! That is an awesome feeling. PS please share your egg cup recipe...what did you add to them?
@mileswithmyles. Have an awesome trip!
@cards10. That is soooo frustrating about your cycle!
@holly321. The grove of trees sounds like a very peaceful place.
Month/cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Typical LP Length: 12-14?
Testing: probably not
R/R: Had some cramps last night, so I am thinking AF is probably on its way.
I usually have 3-5 days of symptoms before AF arrives.
CS/Q:
GTKY: I think the beach, anywhere near water. We also have a big hanging swing in our backyard and I love to sit on it to look at the stars.
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 28/14
Timing:-2, -1, +1
Typical LP Length: 13/14 days
Testing: Tested 07.15.17 was negative. Only reason I tested was still have my old AF app that scheduled to show yesterday, so now I am going to wait for an extra few days. Since currently (according to the other app) AF is now 2 days late. However, according to FF AF is due tomorrow.
R/R: Rave: It is Monday, new week, new goals, new perspective!
CS/Q: I got nothin'
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? The gym or just being outside, either usually works for me.

R/R: I think our bedroom AC broke last night.... but we're going to ca on Wednesday!
CS/Q: for stalking
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? The spa! A good massage is the best fix.

Testing: 29th?
R/R: TW I am having mixed feelings about my cousin who started trying 2 weeks after us telling me she’s KU. I think it’ll be really fun to be bump buddies with her though. /TW I did not spend my Sunday browsing BMBs and looking at birth announcements and baby pictures…
CS/Q: Link in siggy.
GTKY: The shower and then naked in bed if that doesn’t help
@holly321 – yay for a high temp this morning to really confirm O! GL with your boss today.
@kbamomma33 – good job meal prepping! That reminds me, I need to go to the store… ugh
@mileswithmyles – yay for vacation! I really need one. FX that the temp drop is just a fluke.
@cards10 – ugh so sorry about this wonky cycle and BFN. FX it resolves itself in one way or the other soon (especially the good way!).
@nitnat007 – GL on your first day of work since vacation.
@dukestar5 – sorry about the impending AF symptoms.
@ajsanders-2 – sorry for the AF time confusion. Hopefully this is good!

@holly321 Glad that you confirmed O... that must be a relief.
@kbamomma33 Holy Mealprep Batman! All that stuff sounds delicious!
@mileswithmyles Goodness gracious, 14 hours in a car? And don't you have a LO along? I thought my recent 9 hour drive was bad... Good luck!
@cards10 Sorry about your confusing cycle.
@nitnat007 Welcome back!
@doxiemoxie212 You must be getting so excited about your trip! And yay for a trip up to Napa!
@justkeepswimming8 I love showers for destressing as well!

Testing: Sunday
Rave: I'm heading out today for a 5 day cooking class as a training for school and am really excited! As a bonus, I get to stay with my sister, who lives nearby.
Rant: I'm heading out today for a 5 day cooking class and am nervous about what it's going to be like. Also, I hate being away from home and MH for so long.
CS/Q: No Qs, but here's my chart for stalking:

Month/cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 23/10
Timing: -2, -1, 0, +1
Typical LP Length: 13-14 days
Testing: BFN this morning. Hoping it's just too early, especially with wondfos. I'll try again tomorrow.
R/R: Rave - GoT last night was so good! Rant - My ILs are very nice people, but they can be overly controlling and drive me crazy. They are giving extensive advice to MH about benefits at his new job, and while I'm sure it's useful advice, sometimes I just want them to butt out!
CS/Q: No questions
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? Anywhere away from my computer! I always like being outside or out in nature, and like @doxiemoxie212, I love a massage!
@kbamomma33 Tell me more about these veggie egg cups.
@mileswithmyles That's a long drive but I hope you are able to make it fun!
@cards10 Sorry for the long cycle. Yes! GoT, what a great start to the season.
@hedgepig Ooo, five day cooking class? That sounds awesome. I bet it will be intense but really interesting.
@darkstar42 Sorry about the BFN, fx it is too early.
@nitnat007 Glad you had a good vacay!
@ajsanders-2 sorry for the BFN, fx for you.
@justkeepswimming8 That can be hard news to hear even if you are so happy for someone. Fx you get to be bump buddies with your cousin soon. Way to go on the timing!

Month/cycle: 1/1 AL
CD/DPO: 37/12
Timing: Great
Typical LP Length: 13-14 days
Testing: BFN
R/R: Rave: Had a lovely day with MH yesterday - brunch, a hike, made dinner, watched GoT. Rant: Started to feel like I was out on Saturday. Temp drop this morning. Expect AF Wednesday, could be tomorrow.
CS/Q: tl;dr what questions should I ask an acupuncturist to make sure they are experienced in fertility? Any tips or things to expect at a first appointment? I have been researching acupuncturists in my area and because I'm not in a big city the pickings are a bit slim. The place with a ton of good reviews has an acupuncturist who graduated from a doctor of acupuncture program only this year (although he previously had a Master's in Chinese Medicine back in 2005 and has been a long-time massage therapist). I messaged his office and they called me this morning so I'm going in for an appointment this afternoon. I asked if the acupuncturist has experience with acupuncture for fertility and they told me yes, and I asked how often I should expect to go and the lady said probably once a week, but some fertility patients as often as twice a week. That was all I knew to ask, so any tips are appreciated.
Chart in spoiler.
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? Outside for a walk or in a nice warm bath.
P&G for now. I'll see if I can find some time this afternoon to get back for comments. I've got some catching up at work to do after all the bumping I did last week, lol.
Month/cycle: 8/7 (7/6, 3/3 AL)
CD/DPO: 21/4
Timing: -2, -1, O
Typical LP Length: 15 days on progesterone
Testing: maybe starting this weekend
R/R: DH officially resigned from his job this morning. For those of you who missed it yesterday, he was put on administrative leave Friday. Turns out, they're going to pay him out his unused PTO, so that's the bright side. He's got a plan for going back for an associate's degree, which should only take a year given he's already had a bachelor's degree. Thankfully classes start in about a month, so at least that was good timing. Now we're down to one paycheck until he finds something part time. If this cycle doesn't happen, we're looking at TTA for a couple months until things are more certain, and also do I can go to my sister's wedding in the spring. Also thankful that all of these things are lining up at the same time.
CS/Q: not much going on here.
GTKY: my yoga mat (although I needed to get back to it after a week and a half away)

@dukestar5 have your temps dropped along with getting cramps?
@doxiemoxie212 oh no about the AC but yay for vacation coming soon!
@justkeepswimming8 big hugs about your cousin.
@hedgepig that cooking class sounds so fun! TW- yes LO is with us. We are about 5 hours in end TW
@darkstar42 keeping my fingers crossed that it was just too early for the Wondfos to pick it up.
@zamora_spin glad you got to have a good day with YH
@icecubeinthedesert I'm glad they paid out his PTO. It sounds like you guys have a good plan with school. Does he have an idea of what he would like to do part time? Yoga is such a good way to destress. I started doing some at home in January and I notice a difference when I don't do it.
@icecubeinthedesert That's good news about your hubbie. Sounds like things are lining up well for school!

@darkstar42 We just stayed at home. But spent time at the beach and the lake, some stuff around the house. It was just nice to have that time together. Good luck with testing tomorrow. Hope today was just too early. FX
@zamora_spin no GoT spoilers! I haven't watched it yet. With our time zone we would have had to stay up way too late, but cant wait to see it tonight!! Re acupuncture, I just started going this cycle as well. It chose based on reviews. I will be going twice a week for the first 2-3 weeks and then once a week moving forward.
@icecubeinthedesert Glad to hear that things are lining up for you. Still FX for this cycle though.
Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 17/DPO - 3? I'm confused!
Timing: -3, -2, O
Typical LP Length: 13-14 days
Testing: Probably the 27th or 28th. I am meeting my husband in the UK (he's then for work) on the 26th so I want to wait until we're together.
R/R: This is only month 1 so I'm trying to keep my expectations low. Something I'm not good at! My husband and I were actually in the same city for this cycle! We've put off trying for a couple of months because he's been travelling a lot for work and the timing hasn't worked.
CS/Q: I have been charting for a few months and am generally really regular but this month was weird. I had really fertile CM for a week (CD10-14). Saturday fertile CM ended but my temp didn't rise until this morning (Monday). I'm confused and not sure when I actually ovulated. I'm guessing I ovulated either last Thursday (CD 13) or Friday (CD 14). Another part of my confusion is that for a few months I was having shorter cyles and ovulating at CD 11/12. Any opinions on this?
GTKY: What is your favorite place to go to de-stress? I live very close to Lake Erie and love to walk my dog at a big park there. She loves exploring the beach. It's a beautiful place and helps me to relax.
I think you're right that I may have ovulated yesterday (CD 16) based on the temp rise. My husband left for a work trip Saturday so the last time we tried was -2 . Seems our timing may not have been ideal this cycle.
@mileswithmyles, enjoy your vacation.
@hedgepig, have fun with the class and staying with your sister!
@icecubeinthedesert, good luck with everything with you DH, I can't imagine how stressful all the changes are.
@jaylii, -2 isn't terrible. Fx for you.
@cards10 The BSC really is real. I had the triphasic thought as well. Facepalm. I hate myself for even thinking it. I probably won't sleep tonight because I'll be thinking about temping tomorrow. Ridiculous.
As for your chart- yes, 11dpo is still early for a positive test. I'd keep peeing on things, especially since this cycle is longer for you. Sorry if you've said already, but is there a reason that you aren't temping? It would be hard for me to guess FW and O date like that! I need all the data!
@nitnat007 Glad you had a nice vacation!
@dukestar5 Here is the egg cups recipe. They were really good! They have red and green bell peppers, onion, mushroom, and spinach in them.
https://showmetheyummy.com/healthy-egg-muffin-cups/
Sorry for the cramps.
@justkeepswimming8 I'm sorry for the mixed feelings regarding your cousin. That is tough. I will say that I admire your dedication to timing this cycle! FX this is the one for you!
@hedgepig Enjoy your cooking class! I hope it goes well! I really really do love your siggy. Makes me smile all the time.
@darkstar42 Sorry for the BFN. You are right though, that's early- especially if you are peeing on wondfos. FX!
@zamora_spin Sorry for the temp dip girl. Those are never fun to see. Hugs.
@icecubeinthedesert That's great that they are paying YH for his unused PTO. While I'm sorry for all of the stress on him and you, it's good to hear that at least some things could be lining up to make this transition time a little easier, considering everything.
I'm not temping bc MH says I'm obsessing and he likes to do it "normal" where sex isn't timed and he doesn't hear my bbt and blah blah blah. So I've been not temping for these 3 cycles. But I found it super helpful in the past and I too love all the data! So I'm for sure going to do it next cycle bc I think I'm obsessing more having to guess than if I actually knew. I'll just leave him out of all the findings and keep DTD EOD and it'll be fine. Compromise is important in a marriage, right?
@mileswithmyles No temp drop yet. I'm only on 8dpo, and I've read that the temp drop usually happens a day before AF or the day of AF.
@hedgepig The cooking class sounds awesome! Do you know ahead of time what types of dishes you will be making?
@icecubeinthedesert Yes! I need to get back to yoga too...
