Month/Cycle: 7/3

Cycle Day/DPO: 20/3

Timing: IUI

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: Daily - still getting a strong positive from my trigger but that's to be expected.

R/R: We had a snow storm the first day of spring, and we're expecting another storm on Saturday. WTAF, come on, spring It's time for a warm up, not snow!!!!

CS/Q: Eh, not really. Prometrium is being a bitch and giving me every pregnancy symptom on the books aside from nausea. Boobs so achy the pressure from my coat hurts, swollen-feeling uterus, bloating, falling asleep on the couch while watching TV, foul temper, and out of control cravings. But, I'm 3 DP IUI so there's literally no possible way I am pregnant now.

GTKY: Saved by the Bell! I still love watching reruns I even went to their pop-up The Max restaurant in Chicago. It was sooooooooo cool!!!

wishiwaspreggo

@holly321 - that chart would make me excited, too! But then I always run warm so I don't count myself as having a fever until it's at least 99.5 or higher.

meri-mac

@catlady2015 Any plans for your days off next week?

@holly321 Oh that sucks! I hope you have a great weekend to make up for it! **TW**The spike would make me exited too. Fx for you!**End TW**

@wishiwaspreggo Our snow storm faked us out. We are only getting rain right now. I am ready for warmer weather, but I want sun!

Month/Cycle: 14/11

Cycle Day/DPO: 29/13

Timing: -5, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 14/15 days

Testing: Waiting for AF who is due to show on Saturday.

R/R: We got zero snow last night. I was hoping for a day off. I feel this week is trying to destroy me and a day off would have helped. Hopefully today and tomorrow will go quickly.

CS/Q: -

GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? I remember watching a lot of Sailor Moon and wanted so much to be Sailor Jupiter. She was the most bad a** I also loved Power Rangers, Saved by the Bell, Fresh Prince of Bel Air & TMNT.

catlady2015

@holly321 - wow, i your temp jump! FX it's not a fever!
@wishiwaspreggo - oh, SBTB! you went to the pop-up The Max? I always wanted to hang out in a place like that. Sorry about the prometrium symptoms.  
@meri-mac - going back to see my family next week for a few days. I haven't been back for about a year and a half, so it's pretty exciting! Sorry about your crappy week. Hope it goes quickly for you and you can have a good weekend! any plans?

CS/Q: didn't temp

GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? 
Depends on how young you mean "as a kid". I loved Rugrats! As I got a little older I enjoyed Nick at Night shows like The Nanny, Fresh Prince, then got into I Love Lucy around middle school.

meri-mac

@catlady2015 I think after the week I have been having I may hide in my bedroom and watch The Blacklist with my space heater on I will see if I can get someone to bring me my meals so I don't risk tripping in the kitchen and falling on to the hot stove.

@CecilB93 I totally forgot about Rugrats! I loved that show! I didn't even mind All Grown Up either. **TW** Sorry about the BFN. Hopefully it just means your O date was off. Fx for you! **End TW**

wishiwaspreggo

@meri-mac - my parents live 90 minutes north of us and they're expecting 5-8 inches of snow. We're riiiiiiiiiight on the cusp of torrential rain or snow and I don't know what we're getting but I'm mentally preparing for the worst. I pray this is the last of the bad weather we see. I am dying for spring. But, the good news is, I feel it coming. Even though it's cold the sun (when it's out) has that warmer feeling to it. I take it as a signal that spring will eventually come for real

@catlady2015 - Yes, they had a Saved by the Bell pop-up restaurant in Chicago that was an exact replica of The Max! It was amazing. They were even playing music from the 80's and 90's. I was in nostalgia heaven.

@CecilB93 - sorry about the BFN hopefully it's just still early.

Cycle Day/DPO: 22/5

Timing: -3,-2,-1,0,+1

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: not for a while, will try to wfaf

R/R: Rave: One of my friends who lives in another state and I haven’t seen in years reached out to me to hang out online. I’m so looking forward to it- DH and I have had to move a lot, and I’ve been down lately about people not trying to maintain friendships. It feels good to have someone say ‘hi, want to catch up?’

CS/Q: 

GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? Echoing Sailor Moon and Power Rangers. I used to watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Saturdays with my dad and that was always a treat, even if I didn’t get most of the jokes. 

@meri-mac Sailor Jupiter was the best!
@holly321 Good luck on your work day
@wishiwaspreggo I’ve never actually seen an episode of SBTB. I’m confused how that happened, too, considering how popular it was!

CecilB93

@meri-Mac I didn't mind All Grown Up either, it felt like they grew up with me! Lol

@lin0442 I've never seen SBTB either, you're not alone!

Cycle Day/DPO: 20/8

Timing: -3, O

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: Saturday!

R/R: I am listening to a really creepy audio book at my desk right called Bird Box. When anyone comes to talk to me, I completely jump out of my skin. Everyone thinks it’s hilarious now and keeps trying to scare me   

CS/Q: I'm so tired of buying the First Response tests. What is that brand of cheap Walmart tests everyone likes again? 

 

GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? Rugrats, Full House, The Secret World of Alex Mack, All That

galactickates

@eleven_ your dpo annoys me because we are same CD but I'm only only 4 DPO and you're so much closer to testing!  I'm 100% just jealous. 

Month/Cycle: 7/5

Cycle Day/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -2,-1,0,1

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: next week

R/R: The shed is done!  It only took all day Sun, and all night after work Mon and Wed. H said "add building a shed to the list of things I'll never do again." It was pure hell. We've also gotten all of our art hung.  My Doxie pic I got framed for H's birthday is hung and turned out amazing.  I'm super happy with it. 

CS/Q: 

GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? 
Hey Dude,  Salute your shorts, Fraggle Rock, Rainbow Bright. 

catlady2015

@galactickates - i loved hey, dude! that was such a good show.  

wishiwaspreggo

@eleven_ - the Walmart cheapy brand is called First Signal! Less than a dollar each

suzycupcake

@wishiwaspreggo I'm sorry that the p is giving you so many uncomfortable symptoms. The physical stuff doesn't happen to me, but I do get the cravings and feel the emotions of it. Yuck. Hang in there!   

Month/Cycle: 4th iui

Cycle Day/DPO: 19/5dpiui

Timing: -2, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 14, 16

Testing: 3/31

R/R: Rave; It's raining and has been raining on and off here. I love the rain. Other people hate it, but to me, it's a cleansing and feels so beautiful to me. Rants; Me dog keeps stretching out her legs on the couch and trying to kick me off. I did my lab work this morning to test other thyroid functioning things and waiting on the nurse to send the prescription for levothyroxine to the pharmacy. Meh. 

CS/Q: Nah.

GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? Tom&Jerry is still my favorite tv show. 

meri-mac

@suzycupcake My dog does that too! She is such a hog. We have been watching a friend's older dog this week and mine keeps standing on her and laying on her bed. She is such an AW.

I hope I'm allowed 2 rants in one day. My week keeps getting worse and worse. I'm 99% that AF is coming. TMI Warning: I went to the bathroom had some dark brown discharge. End TMI. I think my ovulation tracker app is off by a couple days and so I have been doing this wrong for almost a year. I just want to punch something. I don't want to have to come in to work tomorrow.

suzycupcake

@meri-mac Hugs. I hope that all of the stress you are feeling right now just melts away and never comes back

Kabazaba

These boards can be kind of overwhelming for me in terms of how quickly the move and people post, so I've been mostly hanging out in the TTC-AL posts, but, I am going to try being more active across the board starting *today*.

@holly 321 - I would def be excited if that was my chart FX it's not the flu.

@galactickates - Congrats on finally finishing the shed, it sounds like a horrible affair. The moxie pic is super cute, do you have one, or just liked that print for DH?

@meri-mac - How frustrating. I have never even really charted because the whole thing is mystifying to me, like I might as well be interpreting tea leaves. I hope you can correct for the slow tracker and FX have better timing next cycle.

Month/Cycle:  6/3

Cycle Day/DPO: I *think* I'm 8 DPO **TW loss in spoiler**

Haven't had a period since my MMC & D&C on Feb 26th. So, FF says I'm CD97 which breaks my heart every time I see it. I think I ovulated last Thursday based purely on physical symptoms, but only time will tell.

Timing: -3, -1

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: trying to hold out until Apr 1 for any testing we'll see if I can make it that long

R/R: Rant - Roof got damaged in wind storm a few weeks ago, and then we had about 4 inches of snow yesterday, which is apparently the worst thing for a roof that needs to be replaced anyway. Crossing my fingers for no leeks as the snow melts today/tomorrow. Rave - Had to work from home during our snow day, but I set up the spare table in the living room and had a hygge AF day with the dog and my tea. It was great.

CS/Q: Haha, like I know how to chart.

GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? As a child, probably Ghostbusters. But as a preteen/young teen, I have very fond memories of watching Buffy with my dad.

catlady2015

hi and welcome, @Kabazaba! Hope you don't have any leaks!

holly321

@catlady2015, I hope you enjoy your time off next week!
@wishiwaspreggo, I used to always run cooler, my new thermometer has me higher.  It seems consistent with itself, but all my previous charts are about a degree lower, and they were at least 2 different ones.  Anyway, if I am 99.0, I am generally sick, and I am sick, but haven't really had a fever since Tuesday. Hope the prometrium side effects ease up on you soon.
@meri-mac, sorry for the lack of snow.  I was hoping for wind to make our snow give us another day off and it didn't.
@suzycupcake, I love rainy days too.  Until I have to deal with the mud.  It drives me nuts when people always assume you like/dislike the same weather as they feel you should.  Like, literally everyone around here is complaining about the snow.  I love it. 

suzycupcake

@Kabazaba Welcome to this part!

@holly321 I know what you mean. People always give me a funny look when I tell them how much I love the rain. It honestly makes me really happy in my heart. I love snow but I don't like to drive in it. There you have it.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

Cycle Day/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -3, -1, +2

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: Today, which I knew was way too early, so maybe tomorrow

R/RR: I got a snow day yesterday and spring break is next week, so I am thrilled!

CS/Q: Has anyone noticed colostrum or other breast discharge around nd 10 DPO? My nipes are sore, so I was rubbing my left one and some discharge cane out. I stopped bfing just over a year ago, and have never noticed this before.

GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid?  Full House was the best!

meri-mac

@Kabazaba Welcome to the group & Thank you. I don't chart in that sense either. I just use an app that analyzes my symptoms and makes calculations on when I will O and when AF will show.
