Re: TWW: Tuesday 12/18
CD/DPO: 37
Testing: calling OBGYN if AF doesn't come in another week
R/R: Im thinking I might just bow out of the TWW threads until I get things worked out. My anxiety is just getting the best of me. However, I LOVE MY NEW HOUSE.
Month/cycle: 7
CD/DPO: 19/?
Timing: SMEP
Testing: hehehe
R/R: still super confused by my chart, and not sure when I O'd. I think I just have to let go and "trust the process". Since we SMEPed, our timing was decent no matter when it happened.
In other news, I started a puzzle yesterday! Not sure why this made me so happy, but it did. Me:
CS/Q: Gies, I don't even...
CD/DPO: 27/12
Timing: 🤷♀️
Typical LP length: unknown
Testing: another BFN today. Not sure why I'm torturing myself but I cant stop peeing on sticks
R/R: have a meeting at work at the most inconvenient time so I'm basically going to get nothing done today.
CS/Q: meh, I'm still above my cover line temp so I guess that's good.
@jennifer_louise - Maybe you're one of those unicorns that has a temp shift before O? I'll have to go check my charts, but I think there's a small percentage of women who do that. Otherwise, I have no idea about your chart. Either CD13 or 15.
@kimmer1412 - Sorry about the BFN. It sucks.
Month/Cycle: 8/7
CD/DPO: 29/11
Timing: ED
Typical LP length: 9-12
Testing: Yesterday, BFN. Not testing again.
R/R: I know "it's not over until temp drop/AF," but I'm just so disappointed. I put everything I had into this cycle. I've wanted a baby by December since I started this process back in May, and now I have to watch all those dreams get destroyed. To add injury to insult, I'm going to be on AF while we're traveling for Christmas break.
But, today is the last day of work, so I'm going to go home tonight, snuggle with my loved ones a little bit longer and try to be thankful for what I already have in this world.
CS/Q:
@jennifer_louise I'm glad your timing is good either way!!! FX for you.
@kimmer1412 I'm sorry to see that you are still in limbo. Even if this cycle is unsuccessful for you (I'm hoping it's not!), a longer LP is definitely a good thing!! I hope you get answers soon.
Month/Cycle: 8/6
CD/DPO: 29/11
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 15 days
Testing: I didn't test this morning! Very proud of myself. I'm going to hold out until Thursday (13dpo) but I'm feeling nothing that I could even trick myself into thinking is a symptom so really not getting my hopes up.
R/R: 3 more work days this week! I'm looking forward to the holidays with family. I think Christmas will be a little easier than Thanksgiving - none of the family that we are seeing has babies or kids younger than 5 y/o and I'm cautiously optimistic that we won't be asked about our plans by anyone. Thanksgiving was another story... I'm hoping AF arrives on time so I can get CD 3 BW/US in this next cycle. Then all of our testing for our RE will be done before the new year and we can come up with a plan!
CS/Q: Temps still high, RHR still low. No idea what that's about. I tried Dr. Google but just keep finding "your RHR is higher during your LP!" so that's not helpful. AF due Sunday.
@jennifer_louise I love puzzles! I’m currently working on a golden girls one that’s making me a little crazy haha.
Month/Cycle: 25/idk
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: meh
Typical LP length: 13/14
Testing: wfaf
R/R: Dh and I spent all of yesterday doing errands. I got to stand in line at the post office for over an hour to send out our Christmas packages. Why they only had one person working the counter is beyond me. Everything is sent though, so one less thing to worry about now. Next year I’m just sending everything via amazon straight to my parents and they can deal with it haha.
My rave is dh got his bloodwork done yesterday so i can’t wait to see the results from the karyotyping.
CS/Q: not today
CD/DPO: who knows, current guess is 22/13
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 14 ish days
Testing: huge temp drop, so quad
R/R: incoming migraine and a temp drop, so I am thinking I am out. With fAm detecting, ff took my crosshairs and said I am only 4 dpos. I went to advanced and re-disregarded temps.
CS/Q:
@marebear15 I am sorry, the holiday seems to make this so much harder.
@kbrown2385 I think I am going to send straight from Amazon next year. My nieces and nephew gifts are still unwrapped and unsent at my house. I am a lazy procrastinating auntie.
@kbrown2385 This one is a bunch of different bowls of colorful candy so it's bright and so far challenging. One of the cats knocked part of the border off the table this morning and I was irrationally upset to have to redo part. Also, I was at the post office yesterday too, nightmare. I mean, is it really so hard to predict that the week before Christmas will be busy!?
@DOGMOMMA096 FX for you when you finally decide to test! And, I hope you're right about not having to deal with nosy family and baby questions over the holiday.
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: SMEPisode IV: A New Hope.
Typical LP length: 11-13
Testing: Next week.
R/R: The callback went well enough yesterday, but I forgot to put my lipstick on (because it's a 45-minute drive from my apartment to the audition so I like to wait until I'm there) so I went through the whole audition with patchy lips from my foundation and I 100% looked anemic. So... hire me?
CS/Q: Yay for cross hairs!
@jennifer_louise i think there is something so fantastically childhood-like about doing a puzzle. what is it of?
@elle-0409 - fx for your callback! LOL about the lack of lipstick. i'm sure you still looked fantastic
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -1, O
Typical LP length: 14d
Testing: BFN today
R/R: excited to be back! heading into an office christmas party soon... i'm not a chef by any means, hoping my quiche is decent
CS/Q: chart is very boring due to inadequate temping. sleep has been horrific this month! feel free to CS but nothing to see here.

CD/DPO: 24/4
Timing: Great (-5, -3, -2, -1)
Typical LP length: unknown
Testing: I'll POAS next Monday, but I think I go for betas Thurs Dec 27th
R/R: No rants this morning, I think I got it all out of my system yesterday lol. Raves: My MOH flew in from the west coast for the holidays so I get to do my "Maid of Honour Proposal" today when I see her. I have a whole gift idea for all of my bridesmaids but not everything arrived in time to give it to her so I am just giving her a card today. Finally got our Christmas cards ready to mail out, need to put the address labels on and get them over to the post office this morning. Final day of our reno is today, cleaners are coming tomorrow!
CS/Q: Really happy that FF accurately detected my O date... I don't know what I was expecting but it certainly helps reinforce my confidence in FF that maybe she knows what she's doing after all.
