Testing: No spotting yet, but BFN this morning. AF is supposed to show either today or tomorrow.
R/R: Rave: I refilled my work chocolate stash and I'm on top of this week's grading. Rant: See above and below.
CS/Q: My body is mean. I felt sick to my stomach on and off yesterday. Spotting that usually starts on or before CD12 stayed away. Temp spike this morning. But of course, BFN.
@emeraldduchess ugh sorry for the bfn and your body being a brat. Perfect timing to refill that chocolate stash!
Month/Cycle: 17/18
CD/DPO: 21/8ish
Timing: 👍🏼
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: probably next weds if I do at all
R/R: I just had a dream I got a BFP and the next day had a family party, where I found out my cousin who has been trying for 1.5 years also got hers. Such a nice dream...such a f*cking tease.
CS/Q: nope. Been SS like a mofo which doesn’t even make sense at 8 DPO.
@emeraldduchess wow so sorry for your body’s fake-out! Rude! You deserve the chocolate.
@b_1029 oh man I hate those dreams. I wake up so happy, then confused, then sad 😔
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 21/2?
Timing: -1, O
Typical LP length: 10ish
Testing: no idea
R/R: Our household is just about recovered from Influenza A! I’m glad we got the vaccination, because our symptoms were lessened and we recovered quicker. Those we know who didn’t get the vaccination have ended up in ER for severe symptoms. Thank you science!
CS/Q: I’m not totally sure when/if I ovulated. I’ve had three days of +OPKs. I took my temp the last two days, and they are in my normal post-O range.
@emeraldduchess I feel like as soon as I start TTC I start getting majorly nauseated right before AF. Which a cruel joke on your body’s part. Sorry for the BFN and rude body. @b_1029 does SS ever make sense? Hahahahaha. I think half the time I start before I O @daffodil_shoe glad y’all are feeling better!
Month/Cycle: 8/7
CD/DPO: 31/idk
Timing: ED from CD8-19
Typical LP length: I don’t know anymore
Testing: BFN this morning. So now I’m just WFAF
R/R: I feel like my body just hates me. And I’m just having a rough time because I was really counting on the cycle being “the one.” But as soon as AF arrives I’m officially benched for a month while MH is gone. Ugh. Sorry. Pity party of one over here.
@Spartanrd4 I wish I had the willpower not to test. Fx for you this cycle!
@daffodil_shoe I never believed in the flu shot until last year when I actually got influenza and thought I was going to die. I was actually afraid. I missed two weeks of work and they almost admitted me to the hospital. I'll never skip a flu shot again. Glad you're family is doing better.
@b_1029 I love/hate dreams like that. They're so nice when you're having them and such a let down when you wake up.
Month/Cycle: 18/10ish
CD/DPO: 4dpiui
Timing: 🤷♀️
Typical LP length: 12 days
Testing: Probably the 6th.
R/R: Its my first day back at work after a couple sick days and I have Friday off, so yay for a two day work week!
CS/Q: My temps have leveled off, which is beyond weird. I'm blaming the medication and giving up on temping this cycle. Hoping timing was good.
@ruby696 Glad you are back at work! Hope giving up temping gives you some peace of mind.

@emeraldduchess yay for temp spike and no spotting so far. @b_1029 I had a dream getting BFP as well! the two lines were the same darkness; then I knew I was dreaming.. @daffodil_shoeglad you avoided the nasty flu! Sounds scary @Spartanrd4 I am also trying not to be too optimistic this cycle, but I can't help myself from POAS @MrsJessS Hugs.. @ruby696 glad you are feeling better & yay for two day work week! @misshelen86 great that your mom is visiting!

Testing: I have too many pee sticks in stock. BFN since 6DPO; I am likely to keep testing until AF comes...

Timing: -3, -1, O, +1
Typical LP length: 10-11 days
Testing: WFAF
R/R: Trying not to be too optimistic this cycle- we tried a few new things but have no idea if it made any difference at all.
CS/Q: I always have a slow rise temp shift so it takes a couple days to confirm O date but I finally got solid CH after 3 high temps in a row.
@b_1029 does SS ever make sense? Hahahahaha. I think half the time I start before I O
@daffodil_shoe glad y’all are feeling better!

@b_1029 That sounds like a great dream. So hard to wake up and realize it was only a dream.
@daffodil_shoe Glad you are feeling better! Looks like you did O, just hard to say when it happened since there aren’t a lot of temps to go on.
@Spartanrd4 Yay for solid CH! I hear you on trying not to be too optimistic.
@MrsJessS Sorry for the BFN.
@ruby696 Glad you are back at work! Hope giving up temping gives you some peace of mind.
