R/R: I really wanted to try and get one more night in there last night, but by the time we got to bed, I just could not have been arsed. So happy it is Friday and long weekend, but we are starting it off with a torrential downpour which is not so cool. The rest of the weekend we have humidity warnings in effect. Hello summer!!
Testing: Possibly tomorrow (or Sunday) due to migraines and DH being nervous about me taking meds. I caved last night and took 1/2 then the other this morning.
R/R: Rant- the next 4 to 7 days are going to be brutally humid here. My thick wavy hair is none to please. Rave- I love my mommy and today is my free donut day! Disclaimer I did thank her after she said K but my phone is silly....
CS/Q: Deep calming breaths. Nothing is certain here. It's just a thing. It doesn't matter if last night DH dreamt of me telling him that we would have a new baby before Easter. It doesn't matter that he woke up and did the math to find out if this month is successful I would be due in mid March. It doesn't matter that I've known all along and never mentioned potential due dates to him. It's just a dream and a thing and doesn't actually mean anything.
@prpl11butterfly That is sweet that your mom will still braid your hair. I have everything crossed for you lady. That chart still looks so good! @JLaVO888 Oh man, water restrictions are brutal. Makes you feel guilty just doing the laundry. Your chart looks promising too. GL!
@nitnat007 The heat wave this weekend is ridiculous! Stay cool.
@prpl11butterfly I have crazy thick curly hair too. My go to is a high pineapple bun when it's super hot. I'm rooting for you whenever you decide to test!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -3, -2, 0, +1
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: 10dpo
R/R: I'm on vacation and it feels amazing to sleep in...til 6:30
@nitnat007 Your timing is still really good. It’s supposed 100 herd today with severe humidity as wel. Bleck!
Month/Cycle: 1/1 but a year overall
CD/DPO: 27/8
Timing: -4, -2
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: The 3rd
R/R: Rave-Painting in living room is done and my new rug will be here Saturday. I can’t wait to get my living room put back together. Time to order curtains and buy frames for pictures and hang those. Rant- Not really a rant I’m just really sad *****TW death***** I have a good friend who’s son has been dealing with sickle cell since he was 2, he’s now 28. He’s been really sick in crisis the last couple weeks. It sounds like it’s the end for him. While it’s going to be a relief that he is no longer going to be suffering and in pain. It’s so sad. I hurt for my friend. No one should have to bury a child, at any age.****END TW****
@prpl11butterfly The dream probably doesn’t mean anything, but that chart sure looks pretty. I hope this is the cycle for you and you Easter Baby is on the way!
@kindbytealikat Im so sorry to hear about your friend and her son. You are right; the death of a child is so hard to deal with. I hope you are able to find comfort in each other.
AFM, BFN this morning and my temp is down slightly but still above coverline. I’m expecting AF in the next few hours. Thanks to everyone for all the support.
@marebear15 Yay for sleeping in and for getting your CHs back! What a good day @kindbytealikat So sorry to hear about your friend. That has got to be so difficult! Thinking of you! SN: I don't think I'll temp during the next TWW. Too much anxiety @TJtheGoat Thinking of you today friend.
Timing: Good, unless I'm really wrong about O. FF and I still disagree
Typical LP length: 11-13
Testing: 12 DPO if temps are high and no AF
R/R: So FF put CHs back on CD 15, but I really think O was late night on CD 16 or early morning CD 17 so I'm going to call it CD 17. I'd rather think I'm earlier in my DPOs than think it's later and be sorely disappointed unnecessarily.
CS/Q: Chart. I forced the O date and coverline.
@nitnat007 it looks like we're DPO buddies! It's definitely summer here, too. 93 today, 98 tomorrow. HOT.
@prpl11butterfly your chart is looking good, lady! All the FX for you!
@JLaVO888 nothing wrong with a little optimism! I was so optimistic 1/1, and I feel like I get my hopes up too much every month. I'm currently in the "what's done is done" acceptance phase of my cycle.
@general_organa Yay DPO buddy!! I think you are making the right call with your O day. I have been fooled by FF when I was sure I had O'ed later. I was right, so go with your gut. @kindbytealikat How exciting that you will have it all put together soon.So gratifying when you can step back and look at the finished product. Well done. Also, so sorry to hear about your friends son. You are right, no parent should ever have to go through that. *hugs* @marebear15 Haha I am with you. Sleeping in is just not something that I can manage to do. But not having to wake up to the alarm is a real treat! Enjoy it!
@kindbytealikat I am so sorry to hear about your friends son, just heartbreaking.
