Re: TWW Wednesday 2/6
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: maybe this weekend
R/R: not much going on this week
CS/Q: got a nice little temp jump this morning
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD23/8DPO
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 10-12 days.
Testing: today....got a BFN. I should know better than to test this early.
R/R: I'm on the crazy train and I can't get off. I need an intervention! Seriously, it is bad!
CS/Q: I'm expecting tomorrow's temp to either stay roughly the same as today's or for it to shoot back up. That is unless I am going to have a shorter LP this Cycle. Today's temp is still well above the coverline so I'm trying to stay positive.
Edited to put chart in spoiler.
@emeraldcity603 hope your temps stay up!
Month/Cycle: 20/18
CD/DPO: 26/13 (12dpiui)

@kimmer1412 you’re chart is looking great!
Month/Cycle: 27/1 post bench
CD/DPO: 24/7
Timing: Not as good as I thought
Typical LP length: 13
Testing: trying not to
R/R: another day of beautiful weather so we will be outside again. Wish it would stick around but instead it’s going to be gone by Saturday.
CS/Q: changed my settings to FAM and it moved o to cd17, which I think is more likely. Not really sure why I’ve got the Rocky Mountain effect happening with my temps though.
@inthewoods23 ugh, sounds like a boring day for sure. I hope you survive!
@kbrown2385 I actually think your timing is better this way. Not sure about the mountains though..... how do you temp?
5dpo today. Nothing special going on. I didnt sleep well so that's exciting. Still temping....I don't know why. I'm irritated that my RHR is level (73 again today just not entered yet)
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 13-15 days
Testing: I said I would test today but I forgot so tomorrow it is
R/R: I didn't realize so many of the TWWers left to the other side. There's not a lot of us left!
CS/Q: temp went back up again, as predicted
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).

12/23/2021: BFP! EDD: 08/31/2022
@emeraldcity603 you're not out until AF shows up. The one thing I learned with all my googling during the TWW in the last 7 months is that everything is possible. Huge temp dip the day before AF? Still BFP. Poor timing? Still BFP, both tubes are blocked per HSG? Still BFP and so on.
@inthewoods23 whut?! I understand not being on YouTube while the guy is visiting employees and maybe talking to them but I bet he will be in meetings all day long. Your chart looks so good! This must be agonizing.
@kbrown2385 your temps are on the up trend which is good!
@prpl11butterfly your chart looks really good too.It's interesting to see how your RHR follows your temps. I need to look more into that.
10/2018: MFI (2 SA under 9 million/ml)

@emeraldcity603 sorry for the BFN but like you said, it's so early! GET OFF THE CRAZY TRAIN! (was that a good intervention? lol) Hopefully your temps stay up!
@inthewoods23 your chart is looking amazing. FX for you on Friday! Also Monday sounds boring without a whole day of sitting on TB at work haha!
@kbrown2385 enjoy the weather! I'm not sure about your temps since you said you're temping vaginally, but hopefully they stay up.
@prpl11butterfly sorry for the lack of sleep. Hopefully today goes by quickly for you!
@rikiteacup we're still here! haha! GL testing tomorrow!
Month/Cycle: 16
CD/DPO: 25/13
Timing: great
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: WFAF
R/R: both a rant and a rave - we're getting our new furnace installed today! Can't wait for our house to be above 60 degrees! I can't really complain, because the weather has been pretty warm here compared to the beginning of last week, so Mother Nature really pulled through for us.
CS/Q: nope, just staring at the calendar waiting anxiously for AF's (non) arrival on Friday. Other than my random SSing, I feel no different so I'm already preparing myself
@kimmer1412 Yay on the temp jump!
@emeraldcity603 Sorry about the BFN, even when testing early! The TWW makes us all jump on that crazy train so you're in good company! lol
@inthewoods23 Girl I do not know how you're keeping strong not testing yet!!! Hopefully you're able to keep busy while the owner is in!
@kbrown2385 Enjoy that weather while you can!
@rikiteacup Good luck testing!!! It has thinned out a good bit! LOL
@b_1029 Yay on getting the new furnace and getting the chill out of your house! Crossing everything for you!!!
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing: Ok
Typical LP length: 11-13
Testing: WFAF
R/R: Couldn't sleep last night because DH was snoring SO LOUD. I ended up just moving to the couch in the living room but now I have to double up workouts tonight. But hopefully he gets his last thing he needs for us to file our taxes tonight so that's a plus!
CS/Q: I keep forgetting to temp!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: Hopefully good
Typical LP length: 11ish
Testing: This weekend probably
R/R: Not much! No snow day yet, snow started later than they expected. Dealing with a lot of call ins from employees for various reasons, I love them but wow some of them have a real hard time working a full week.
CS/Q: Nope!
@emeraldcity603 I am totally on the same train! Sorry about the BFN.
@inthewoods23 ahhh, those high temps!!! Big brother watching always freaks me out a bit. It’s not like I’d do anything worth a reprimand, but I feel like I start to look guilty. 🤷🏻♀️
@kbrown2385 here’s to hoping that o’ing on cd17 is GL! (Yesterday I was 24/7 and I smirked a bit. Like, yup, ff’ing it 24/7.) I’m with you in these weather changes! I keep dressing inappropriately for the outside temp because it keeps changing so drastically.
@prpl11butterfly sorry for the poor sleep! I keep getting too anxious about my temp to sleep to my alarm. And then I struggle with falling back asleep because I won’t have enough uninterrupted sleep to temp when I’m supposed to. Blehh. Oh, and I’m August, btw, so pretty darn close in age!
@rikiteacup I like your avatar. Ha, I definitely react with “seriously?!” more often than I should. GL testing tomorrow!
Month/Cycle: 9
CD/DPO: 25/8 I didn’t have to check for once!!
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 11-13
Testing: wfaf
R/R: I feel like a little kid trying to get out of school, just sitting in the nurse’s room, willing my temperature to be higher than it is because that’ll get me what I want. Except that this is EVERY MORNING since my positive opk. When I finally fell back asleep after temping 2 hours too early, I dreamt that mh was reading my thermometer to tell me “I’m sorry, you’re not pg”. It was a little callous, so I woke up a little mad at him for an instant. I told mh about my early wake up and dream, and he came over, said “I’m sorry” and kissed me. Then qualified that he’s sorry about my not sleeping well, not for how he acts in my dreams. 😂
CS/Q: is it reasonable to insert 98.2* for today’s temp? I had 98.20 @ 6:30 and 97.86 @ 4:30. I usually try to temp at 6:30, but I obviously didn’t have 3 hours of consecutive sleep prior. A random website adjusting for time suggested 98.24* when I entered my 4:30 data. Both are above my cover line, so at least there’s that.
@b_1029 I'll probably sneak away to our bathroom a few times to check in and lurk TB lol so glad you're getting the new furnace! Yay heat!
@brookert615 I'm paying for the blood test regardless of my own results at home so I may as well not test at home. I only have 1 test left so I'm saving it when I know it will be positive!

@b_1029 yay, new furnace! FX for that and Friday to go smoothly!!
@brookert615 sorry about the snoring. Can you get YH to give you permission to wake him up when he snores? I hate waking up mh, but when the snoring just won’t stop, a little nudge can go a long way to saving me some sanity.
@mhamik I hope you can manage all those call outs ok and that the employees start getting their acts together.
@brookert615 ugh taxes.... I need to set up our appt soon. I'm dreading it since we changed brackets with this new administration...
@begging4abump did you get out of bed between the temps? I've noticed that even if I'm laying awake for 2hrs my temps are pretty in line with other days. I'd keep the 630 one personally.
Edited for stupid autocorrect
@begging4abump What a crazy dream! Cute of YH to comfort you though! DH will NOT wake up if I yell at him, push him, kick him, etc lol. He will just stop for a second and go back at it. I started doing taxes and we are getting more breaks than we did last year so it's good for us so far - I have a bunch of work stuff that I need to itemize for DH but we will get that back in our state return. We aren't getting as much back in federal since they started giving more in normal paychecks though!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@emeraldcity603: it's still SO early. so, so early. But it still sucks to see a BFN.
@inthewoods23: I'm way too invested in your gorgeous chart. Also - boo to unreasonable expectations for the visitor. Ugh.
@kbrown2385: agree with FAM and O on day 17. My temps always look super rocky (new thermometer helped a tiny bit), but then again I'm awful with waking up overnight/temping at different times, etc. You can still see a good shift there!
@rikiteacup: Ha...that's one way to avoid testing too early!
@b_1029: So glad the furnace will be fixed for ya'll! And....I'm rooting for you!!
@mhamik: Ha ha.. I also have problems working a whole week....but I do it anyway! Because, you know, adulthood!
@brookert615 : If I wake up, and DH is snoring, I usually have to move, too. Ugh. Yuck.
re: taxes - I'm super interested to see how the new tax laws end up affecting us (if at all)

@inthewoods23 how are you functional right now at 13dpo with still 2 days to go? Your chart is looking fantastic!! FX FX FX for Friday!!
@b_1029 glad you're finally getting your furnace fixed!
@brookert615 sorry about the snoring. And I say that with sincerity, because I'm the snore-r in my family I'm super self conscious about it but thankfully MF doesn't tease me too much about it. And he knows he has permission to wake me up cuz I have the magical ability to be able to fall back asleep in an instant.

@begging4abump - that is a crazy dream! I go through phases where I don't remember dreams at all, then other times they're so vivid I wake up mad/sad/etc.
@brookert615 - the snoring husband is the worst! He doesn't do it forever, then on the night I can't sleep he snores so loud I want to smack him!

@b_1029 so glad you’re getting a new furnace! Hope your house is nice and toasty before too long!
@brookert615 I go crazy when dh snores! Hope you have better sleep tonight!
@begging4abump you’re dream made me laugh a little! I love yh made sure you knew comforting you wasn’t including what happened during the dream haha. I’m glad I’m not alone for chuckling at the 24/7 😆.
@mhamik that's so annoying about your employees! I don't get how some people think they're exempt from their full time jobs.
@begging4abump what a rude dream husband! I'm not sure on the temps. I would just use the 6:30 one since they're almost the same anyway (the converted and the 6:30)
@lcking82 thank you! Do we work at the same place? I've had SO many meetings all week and am so behind on work. I don't understand how they expect you to get work done when you're in meetings for 6 hours a day!
@kiki047 hiii!
Edited ; formatting
@kbrown2385 I think your timing is great!
@prpl11butterfly I want to start tracking my RHR. I love how it also has a biphasic pattern.
@rikiteacup I have been lurking the October BMB and I have seen so many of us over there. That BMB is going to be another good one.
@b_1029 I told my DH I was on the crazy train and he said, "have you thought about not taking anymore tests?" Ugh, I wish it was so easy!
@begging4abump I would mark today's temp as questionable.
@lcking82 enjoy your slow day.
@emeraldcity603 Right there on the crazy train with ya girl- I work for a dr's office and I'm pretty sure I could fanangle my way into getting a blood test done too see what my levels are at- but I really don't want to be disappointed. I'm trying to be patient- and not ask one of the girls to do the blood test.....because I'd still have to pay for the blood test- and I really don't want to do that either.
@inthewoods23 you have great will power to have not taken a test already!!
@kbrown2385 i don't think your timing looks terrible- what is the FAM setting on FF?
@rikiteacup your comments about anything being possible are so true.....I feel like if I don't mark when AF started correctly- that just throws everything off- so you are getting all excited about no AF and then it shows the next day over one wonky beginning of the cycle or something
@brookert615 Sorry you slept on the couch! I do the snoring in our house- so my husband would totally feel the pain with you. And I want to do our taxes so badly! Well, I don't want to do them, but have them done- so they are done. The idea of some thief or crook filing them for us before we get the chance gives me anxiety.
@mhamik Hope you get a snow day out of all this!!
@begging4abump completely accurate description of the "willing something to happen"
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: pretty good
Typical LP length: 12/13
Testing: waiting on temps and to see what happens with those- however the agony is killing me due to the timing factor. Even when we were actively TTC in 2015, I don't know that our timing was quite as on point as it was this month.
R/R: I'm just really trying to not get overly emotional about all of this.....I really feel like our timing was good, forcing myself to NOT have one of my co-workers do a blood test. struggling to not give into the urge to test early.....which brings up my question.....
CS/Q: I don't want to spend the money on a digital or more expensive pregnancy test- but- how accurate and what are the best ones if you did test early??? any verdicts or info on that?? I'm going to try to remain strong and NOT test- I don't think I could handle the double disappointment factor.....meaning if I tested tomorrow and it was negative and then I tested again on Monday- and another negative- I think I would be crushed.
@emeraldcity603 sorry about the BFN. You've got time though! It's so frickin' hard to wait.
@inthewoods23 Ugh, the fake facade for VIPs really irritates me in the workplace. They're also human and aware of how humans operate in 2019—no one is fooling him (her?) anyway. Good luck and get all those breaks for tea in!
@brookert615 Sometimes couch-sleeping is where it's at. No distractions/noises and all the sprawling you want to do.
@b_1029 yay, new furnace! I'm always slightly bitter on spending for non-fun house things though. You have a good 'tude about it!
@begging4abump oh I hate dreams that leave me annoyed during wakeup. My boyfriend and I have titled the dream version of him "DreamKenny" (that's his name) and DreamKenny is a DB sometimes.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1
Typical LP length: ~13-14
Testing: 2/13 or 2/14...if I can wait (we all know I can't)
R/R: Our dog has still been keeping us up some nights. It turned out he kept us up the night before I had a 5am training appointment at the gym (trying really hard to get back into working out, but it's hard with no sleep and a busy schedule). I still don't think I've recovered from that which was Tuesday.
CS/Q: Yesterday, 6DPO, I had pretty intense left ovary pains. This included chills/hot flashes and slight dizziness. I did an OPK this morning just out of curiosity and it was obviously negative. My body is so whack I don't even know what to think anymore.
ETA as for tests, I like testing with first response. I know it’s going to be legit and not make me question. I’ve gotten positives on those as early as 7dpo. I tried the Walmart 88 cent ones and had terrible Evaps on them. I stay away from blue dye.
@samashley1 I agree with the no distractions! I turned on the space heater on a timer and cuddled up with my pup! Sorry your dog is keeping you up at night - what is he doing?! Hope you can find a solution so you guys can get some rest!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@samashley1 ha, mh used to show up a lot more in my dream/nightmares, and we used to refer to him as his name backwards. Dreamh would cheat on me all the time without any shame. Also, completely off topic—I’m almost done the cuckoos calling! Fewer than 100 pages to go!! Excited for the ending...and the rest of the series!!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@MNturnsVA I like doing cheap Wondfos because I have a testing problem. If positive, I would buy a more expensive test to confirm, so as not to break the bank.
@samashley1 That sucks re not getting much sleep. Thinking of you and crossing fingers that you will be very restful coming up!
@MNturnsVA I sooo understand the agony. Wondfo has some cheap tests- I think I’m gonna start using them, but I do believe the First Response one is the most sensitive.
begging4abump Totally feel ya. I’ve had the worst sleep ever this week- waking up at odd hours and taking temps just in case I don’t get the full 3 hours. I would take the higher one!
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD/DPO: 18/5
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2-, -1, 0, +2
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: Waiting till 11 DPO (Tuesday)
R/R: I’ve been really great this round until yesterday. Someone close to me got pregnant accidentally and got in an emotionally heated argument with someone else close to me today. It’s been an emotionally couple days and I really feel like crying. I know I’ve been trying for 4 rounds, but the waiting game every month is really hard! Also, I’m getting my progesterone tested (7 DPO) on Friday to see where it’s at since I spot sometimes before my cycle. Crossing my fingers everything is good- I have a good feeling about it.
CS/Q: Chart was a little strange after ovulation- at 3 DPO it went below the coverline. I was wondering if I didn’t actually ovulate and then it went back up. I read online that can happen somes because of an estrogen surge from the corpus luteum. Thankfully it went back up, so seems to be what it was. Threw me a bit since it didn’t happen in my previous charting months.
