R/R: One more day of sleeping in today! And rain! Yay! I’m sure there’s people upset about rain on the holiday, but we really need it. I’m also enjoying our vacation from BD since I have to use these progesterone capsules.
Timing: -2. I did some reading and that's better timing than I thought, so I am feeling better about timing this cycle.
Typical LP length: About 14 days. Fertility Friend bumped the predicted CD1 up to Friday this week which would make it 12 this cycle. It had originally marked CD1 much later for a 20+ day LP which also wasn't making a lot of sense.
Testing: I wasn't planning to unless AF didn't show before next Monday. Now I am thinking Friday (13 DPO).
R/R: No rant today. I finally feel ready to get back into the school routine, as much as I will miss my summer freedom. And wearing yoga pants 24/7.
CS/Q: Nope. Raising my eyebrows at Fertility Friend, but I'll figure out what's going on soon enough.
R/R: I am glad I got some Wondfo HPT this cycle. I’ll be able to test guilt free.
CS/Q: chart below
TTC#1 10/2018: MFI (2 SA under 9 million/ml) 11/2018: HSG shows right Fallopian tube slightly damaged 1/2019: Husband diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele 4/05/2019: varicocele repair surgery 6/13/2019: BFP!!! EDD: 2/22/2020 Baby girl born 2/27/2020 7/18/2019: Total Motile Count at 3 months post surgery = 51 millions!! (number must be >20 millions to conceive naturally).
Typical LP length: Not sure, because I've just starting tracking. But last month it was disturbingly short. About 7 days.
Testing: Not until Sunday.
R/R: I am going to combine my rant and rave for efficiency. I am cramping today, with what feels like AF. If that's true, it would mean that my LP length is really short (obvious rant). However, it could be implantation cramps, which would be a rave. Why is my body so confusing? Lol!
CS/Q: I'm not this advanced.
@thegirlwhowaited_ I love the rain! There's a tropical storm blowing through, so I'm enjoying the cloudy weather.
@meatballs37 I hope you are enjoying your day off! Are you doing anything fun today?
@elle-0409 We went to Lambeau field with my parents to hang out and explore. It was a lot of fun! My parents recently moved closer to us and it has been so nice! Also, did you just come off BC? I know when I originally came off birth control three-ish years ago, it took a while for my LP to lengthen.
@meatballs37 That sounds like such fun! I’m happy for you that your parents are closer. No, I’ve been off birth control for ages. (Husband and I had been using condoms.) But I used to work out aggressively and was a touch underweight. There was a point last year when I went four months without a period. So I’m hoping everything will level out. Good luck!

@meatballs37 Maybe. I’ve tried to not read too much into my charts. I’m just trying to make it to the weekend before I pull out the pee sticks. My beta isn’t till Thursday next week.
Hi! This is my first post ever (exept the newbie one). I hope I am doing it well! I will get used to the abbreviation one day, but for now I'll only use the ones I know
Month/Cycle: 1
CD/DPO: 18/2DPO
Timing: -2,-1,0,+1
Typical LP length: no idea?! How do you know that? I've done some research and lurke for a while, but I'm still clueless
@ribonnette24 your typical LP will be your average time between ovulation and AF. Since this is your first cycle it’s normal to not know. You’ll find out if AF comes this cycle.
@thegirlwhowaited_ Oh ! I do know my LP then. 13 days exactly for the past 4 months. I've been tracking my cycle for 5 months now, although I just removed my IUD so I guess my cycle will change a bit. Thanks for explaining to me what it was

R/R: Enjoying the day off! I work every single weekend and DH works weekdays. We hardly have days off together, so we are taking advantage of today.
CS/Q: nada. I moved my O day forward by one to CD 15 instead of CD 14. It makes sense with the coverline.
@meatballs37 have a nice day off with your DH today!
