Typical LP length: idk
Testing: maybe tomorrow bc im BSC
R/R: I'm really craving panera soup & a sammy today. I'm excited that they deliver now bc I'm lazy AF.
CS/Q: nothin to see
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
do not approach before coffee; cries when drunk
@flyingmombula - i might steal your panera idea, their black bean soup warms my soul.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
Cycle Day/DPO: 20/6
Timing: mediocre at best
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: nope
R/R:
CS/Q: I keep experience cramping around 5-6 days dpo. cycle after cycle. I've never had issues with cysts before, but i'm wondering if this is a sign? It's not unbearable pain, just uncomfortable. I won't have a yearly until July, just wondering if this something normal.....
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? CAUTION: contents under pressure. Do not shake.
I might have a more witty one after i have some coffee, but i really don't get funny until the afternoon. Maybe that's my label??
Month/Cycle: 4/5
Cycle Day/DPO: 15/3
Timing: alot. I O'd later than I thought so my fertile window felt like it was like 9 days.
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: Next Wednesday since I'm off work.
R/R: Boo for Mondays! It seems like half my building is out with the wicked flu that is going around. I am PRAYING I dont get it.
CS/Q: none
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Cries during commercials lol pretty much can randomly tear up anytime.
@flyingmombula I didnt know Panera delivers now.. you may have just made my day!
@jengibre_zorro Sorry for the cramps. Might be something to get looked at if its happening every cycle.
eta for clarity.

IUI #1-3 BFN
IVF 11/2018- 23 eggs retrieved, 16 mature, 14 fertilized with ICSI with 7 embryos making it to freeze
FET #1 02/2019 BFN
FET #2 4/19 BFP!!!!! EDD 1/4/20
@jengibre_zorro I had cramping from about 2dpo to 6dpo and I am really wondering about cysts as well.
Month/Cycle: 7/5 (1 loss 1 benched)
Cycle Day/DPO: 30/9
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: I don't even know
Testing: Too much. I'm going to try not to test again until Friday or AF.
R/R: I really have no idea when AF will start. My app says it will start on Saturday, but that would be CD35 which is way too late. I am pretty regular about starting on CD31 or CD32. I'm just so confused about this cycle now. I don't know when AF is coming, but I usually bloat a week in advance and it hasn't started yet so I'm thinking this is going to be a really long cycle. Also, I think I am getting the flu.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? May cause discomfort? I have no idea. lol but I'm pretty blunt and some people don't appreciate that.
@jengibre_zorro Some women experience mittelschmerz (ovulation pain) before O, and some women (including myself) experience that pain both before AND after O. Is it localized to your ovaries or just general pain?
@kobrien827 Technically, your FW is the day of O and the five days leading up to it. It is possible to have fertile signs more than five days before O, but until you have O'd you won't know what days were actually your FW.
Month/Cycle: 2/2 AL
Cycle Day/DPO: 23/10
Timing: -5, -2, -1, O
Typical LP length: 13-15
Testing: BFNs, many of them
R/R: I wish I didn't waste so many pregnancy tests.
CS/Q: In my experience, my chart means very little, but it took a dive today, so, even worse than usual I guess.
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Beware of Mood Swings (at least while on clomid)
@kobrien827 Hope you stay healthy! And at least your coworkers are good enough to stay out of the office when they're sick. Such a pet peeve.
@acciocoffee No flu, no flu! Hope you feel better and can fend it off!
@kimberbeep your GTKY made me LOL.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
Cycle Day/DPO: 22/1 (I hope...testing again today around lunch. Temp +0.5 and sort of hoping the +OPKs are over)
Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: nada
R/R: nada. I think since I get to rotate jobs at work in four weeks I'm just in a pretty, light, happy place. Not sure if I'll love the next one, and this one was pretty good, but I'm still pumped to go get to completely shift focus onto something new - just for the change.
CS/Q: Does anyone else not N&C on +1? We N&C last night, which I'm assuming was day 0. Since it was so late in the day I am wondering if we should again or if we're probably about as good as we can be.
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Hm...H suggested 'if sleeping, do not wake.' I'll go with that. sleep.
Cycle Day/DPO:
20/6
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length:
11/12 days
Testing:
Probably Thursday
R/R: It’s Monday and I have a ton of work to get done this week. I also am working 7 days this week because apparently I hate myself.
CS/Q:
Nope
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Guaranteed to do/say something awkward.

@jengibre_zorro boo cramps. I personally wouldn't worry toooo much but I would definitely mention it to my dr next time I was in.
@kobrien827 I hope you don't get the flu too!
@acciocoffee There is nothing worst then having no idea AF is coming (and/or when to test!). Hopefully it figures itself out soon.
@kimberbeep Hoping for a greatttt birthday gift coming your way!
@zamora_spin sorry about the bfn's
@chopchop25 I usually would +1. Last cycle I didn't because I just couldn't do it another day since O was later then expected.
@coco2787 sorry you have so much work to do this week!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
Cycle Day/DPO: 28/11
Timing: good (but not good enough I guess!)
Typical LP length: 12-ish
Testing: BFN Saturday means no more testing until AF. I imagine she will show tomorrow or Wednesday.
R/R: I am a bottomless pit today and I want to eat everything constantly.
CS/Q: nothing to see - just a chart with a bunch of bfn's
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? I'm also with @flyingmombula .. "do not approach before coffee". or "caution: gets hangry"
@flyingmombula OMG that sounds so good. I am a huge Corner Bakery fan, and their panini and brocolli cheese sound amaze balls right now. I am sad because I live in the country and the closest one is probably 30 minutes away, which means...no deliveries here ever! <cries>
@jengibre_zorro That cramping sounds odd! Especially since it's something that happens every cycle. Is your doctor one that you could just call and ask if that's something to be concerned about? Sometimes doctors won't always "make" you come in unless they think it's concerning. At least then you would have more of an idea!
@kobrien827 Prayers that you don't get the flu! It's so scary to be in public right now with how bad it's going around!
@acciocoffee My AF finally showed 3 days after it was predicted based on the app, so I totally understand your frustrations! I hate that! And I sure hope you don't have the flu! Goodness it's bad right now. Maybe getting sick could throw off your cycle too?
@kimberbeep Happy early b-day! Wouldn't THAT be the best birthday present?! My birthday is next month and if things go as predicted, I could be testing on my BD too! And I LOL'd at your GTKY!
@zamora_spin So sorry for your BFN's
@chopchop25 FX for O day!
@coco2787 7 days this week! Goodness! Make sure to try to take some time to yourself and do something you love!
@kristah2 Oh man I am the same way with the hunger lately. I just want to eat everything! But we have no food in the house, so...that helps I guess. Haha. Sorry for your BFNs...AF is sneaky and mean.

@kimberbeep today I want blackbean soup/ mediterranean veg sammy! So good.
@chopchop25 i don't. We do on O and I feel like that's good enough. Meh.
@jengibre_zorro I have experienced cysts in the past, and in my experience that was more pain than cramps, but everyone is different.
@kobrien827 I hope you don’t get sick! Flu season is so bad this year!
@acciocoffee Sorry to hear you think you’re getting sick...I hope you feel better and the Flu stays away for you as well!
@zamora_spin and @kristah2 Sorry about the bfns
@kimberbeep I love your warning!
@chopchop25 that’s cool that you get to rotate jobs often! Sometimes I wish I could do that...my job gets mundane at times...
@coco2787 GL with your long work week!!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
Cycle day/DPO: 20/2
Timing: I think as good as it could get. EOD since CD10.
Typical LP length: not sure yet
Testing: *trying* to wait for AF
R/R: It’s Monday and it is snowing again. I wish the weather could make up its mind! We have been having brutally cold temps, followed by snow, then rain. This past weekend it was in the 40s and now it’s supposed to get cold again! I feel like it messes with my mood and motivation. Hoping for a smoother week at work this week...last week we had a major crisis so hoping things calm down a bit this week!
CS/Q:
GTKY: Warning: if showing signs of hanger, feed IMMEDIATELY!
Cycle Day/DPO: 31/9
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: I wish this question was a joke. BFN this morning.
R/R: moving is sucking the life out of me. I'm also dealing with some big disappointment right now. I barely feel like participating in tww. But I'm here anyway.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
Beware the AM Sabertooth Tiger - just give coffee to tame.
Also sorry about your BFN @acciocoffee. Sending you creepy hugs from further away.
I feel like we need to start some sort of fun thread today, we need some cheer in these late days of Jan!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
Cycle Day/DPO: 31/12 (estimate)
Timing: Bad
Typical LP length: Not sure
Testing: Nope
R/R: Finally ordered some opk and pregnancy tests. I got cheapie opk's so I'm hoping I can decifer them!
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
Caution: German heritage has resulted in extreme stubbornness.
@acciocoffee and @galactickates
and the rest who I can't tag bc mobile hates me.
So sorry about bfn's. No pearls of wisdom, just hoping your days get better and maybe you can treat yo selves with some delicious food and/or beverage.
@acciocoffee - sorry your cycle is all over the place this month
@kimberbeep - hopefully it ends up being an awesome birthday present!
@zamora_spin, @flyingmombula, and @spartan4life - thanks for sharing your experiences. Mine is definitely more generalized cramping, so hopefully not cysts.
@chopchop25 - hopefully you temps keep rising and you get a confirmation!
@coco2787 - ouch, that sounds like a long week. Hope it goes quickly for you!
@kristah2 - sorry about the BFN
@Whitmore1027 - sorry about AF, hopefully you are back here again shortly
@galactickates - sorry about the BFN and that you have other disappointments happening. It's so early still, fx for you
@kobrien827 FX you don’t get the flu! I am absolutely paranoid right now because people are calling in today too.
@zamora_spin Sorry for the BFN
@coco2787 I love your GTKY. I am the same way.
@kristah2 Sorry for the BFN on Saturday.
@galactickates I totally get the feeling of not wanting to participate in the dailies. I’ve been wondering where you are. PM me if you want to talk
@jengibre_zorro I get mild cramping like that every cycle. My doctor says any mild cramping in the TWW is completely normal.
Month/Cycle: 7/7 - 1 CP
Cycle Day/DPO: 28/14
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 12
Testing: I caved and tested today… BFN. I am using digitals and I know they aren’t as sensitive. I have absolutely zero symptoms though so I’m pretty much just WFAF.
R/R: DH and I talked about going on a big trip if we were unsuccessful this cycle. We love to scuba dive so I’ve been look at places in Maui all morning.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? Warning: No small talk before 7am. This goes out to my coworker who loves to chit chat at 6am. I am not awake yet and am barely functioning.

Rough month with all the bfn's. WTO is going to be super busy later this week I think.
@eleven_ ygpm.
Month/Cycle: 5/6
Cycle Day/DPO: 23/11
Timing: decent
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: not until Wednesday but I’m guessing I won’t even need to waste a test. Have a little bit of spotting today so I’m assuming AF will show tomorrow or Wednesday
R/R: see above. Rave is I am handling it much better than last month.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: If you had a warning label, what would yours say? I’m not very creative and my head hurts from working:(
@kobrien827 FX you don't get sick! The flu is scary this year.
@acciocoffee @zamora_spin so sorry about the BFN, hopefully it's just too early. I'm also guilty of testing way too much.
@chopchop25 I've definitely done +1 just for good measure.
@kristah2 sorry about the BFN, I'm impressed at your willpower to not test again
@galactickates hopefully it's just to early for you too! I'm sorry things are hard right now
@rosebud332 I usually use the cheapie OPKs but got some digital this month as well. I used both this cycle and my peak fertility on the digital matched up with the positive cheapie so I feel pretty confident that they do the job. Just stay away from the blue dye!
@eleven_ ugh, sorry you got a BFN too. Maui sounds fun though, that's good you're planning something to take your mind off things and relax.
@nmbrcrnchr1 Sorry you're in the BFN club too, I'm glad to hear you're handling it okay though.
Lots of hugs to all, it sounds like everyone could use one!
