Re: TWW Wednesday 4/10
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 15 days
Testing: tomorrow?
R/R: I have been so miserable with a stomach virus. I am going back to work today and dreading it! If I wasn’t secluded, I would stay home, but at least I can keep my germs to myself. I hate the 3 days doctors note rule. It’s stupid.
CS/Q: fever last 2 days so no change.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD 26, not sure
Timing: good
Typical LP length: not sure
Testing: BFN ~8-10 dpo
R/R: I am looking forward to Easter. We are spending it with my sister and her family in CT. They just got a new house with a nice play structure in the back outside and a music room. I am making an overnight french toast bake that my sister loves.
I am ready for AF to come so I can get on with next cycle!

TTC #2: Jan 2019
DS: 2.5 yo
EDD: 12/2/16 DOB: 10/22/16
(Previously MBS2016 Dec 2016 board
Month/Cycle: 29/2 AL
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13/14
Testing: idk
R/R: back to our regular schedule today, so it’s going to be busy. We got our first home delivery of milk on Monday and I’m already in love. It’s from a local dairy and they have the best chocolate milk I’ve ever had. Also, I somehow managed to forget about grocery shopping this past week so we pretty much ran out of food last night. I went after dinner to pick up the necessities. Grocery shopping after 7pm is like prime time. No one is there and I love it.
CS/Q:
CD/DPO: 24/13?
Timing: -5, -4, -3, 0 (x2), 2, 3 {Probably not spot on as I don't do any ovulation testing and I'm just basing this on cervical mucus consistency.}
Typical LP length: no idea
Testing: Shooting for April 11th or 12th. I'm thinking I'll do one first thing tomorrow morning and see if anything shows.
R/R: Feeling pretty good this morning (besides being a little moody/emotional). Last night was the complete opposite of my Monday night, and I got in some quality time with the hubby
@holly321 Get well soon!
@kbrown2385 I probably need to grab some groceries today too. I usually go on Thursdays, but I don't know if I will have time tomorrow (will be a busy day).

TTC #1 since 3/2019
CD/DPO: 22/ somewhere between 6-8 dpo
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: Not sure yet
R/R: Work has been so busy the last two weeks and I am all about it. It makes the days go by so quickly and I feel good being productive. I just hope it doesnt cross over to the point I feel overwhelmed.
CS/Q: None
@bobbyflies2020 hose and french toast sound DELIGHTFUL
@kbrown2385 nice chart. Mmmm milk
@flowntheloop awesome timing and lovely to hear about quality man time
Month/Cycle: 8
CD/DPO: 27/?6
Timing: could better could be worse, I was out of town CD 16-17 for a girls trip (woooorth it!!)
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: next week, cycles avg 34ish days
R/R: Never got +OPK, but did get +PdG pee stick so there is still hope. Traveling solo again this weekend so I will hopefully be distracted from this TWW nonsense.
And I could definitely use a distraction from this too! About to pull my hair out!

@flowntheloop: good luck testing!
@lena8888: woohoo girls trip!!
@kerco925: I’m also so much more productive if I’m busy at work. Slow days just give me no momentum to work on anything.
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: not good enough
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: BFN yesterday, WFAF (spotted yesterday, figuring AF is on the way!)
R/R: rant and rave: out of town for quick work trip - really just wish I couldve stayed home. I’m hoping for some down time in this trip so I can sneak away and get a pedicure.
CS/Q: nada - stopped temping last Friday.
@kbrown2385 going grocery shopping today to make sure DH is stocked up before I leave. We have nothing here either. Lol that milk home delivery sounds amazing. Does it come in glass bottles?
@lcking82 hope you can get your pedicure time. I always feel so much better when my nails are nice.
Month/Cycle: 5
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 14-16
Testing: we will see
R/R: work is bugging me, but I’m thinking it’s just cause I’m distracted about this weekend.
CS/Q: climb temps, climb!
And, yes, I'm thinking I will test first thing tomorrow morning! I was going to hold out for Friday morning, but we will have company arriving and I figure I may as well start testing before they get here. *actually just being impatient but I will declare that as my excuse LOL*

TTC #1 since 3/2019
CD/DPO: 26/11 dpiui
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: trying to hold out til AF. We'll see if that works because I've been on the SS train starting yesterday.
R/R: Rave: I have an interview at the library on Friday. Rant: The past few days our neighbors dog has been barking every single morning non stop. It wouldn't be as bad except then my dog hears it and starts barking too and it wakes me up. It's just been really annoying.
CS/Q: didn't temp this cycle.
@holly321 That’s so rough! Hoping you get over that bug, stat! ❤️
@bobbyflies2020 That sounds so wonderful about seeing your sister! That French toast sounds amazing!
@kbrown2385 That milk delivery is so cool! Grocery shopping at night is a total game changer! Your charts looking great!
@lena8888 A girls trip is definitely always worth it!
@lcking82 So sorry about the BFN ❤️. Hope you can get that pedicure!
@madcouplewithabox Hope work flies for you and you’re able to get to the weekend with ease!
@flowntheloop Happy to hear your enjoyed quality time with YH!
@kerco925 That’s great work is flying by! Totally agree with loving busy days!
Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 26/11 or 9
Timing: Ok
Typical LP length: 9-14 I think?
Testing: BFN this morning.
R/R: I slept so well last night! I have a busy day ahead but I’m excited this is the first official day in my FD challenge!
CS/Q: Chart in spoiler. Already feeling super bummed as I somehow had so much hope for this cycle. Starting to feel AF symptoms so I’m kind of salty about that!

@brookert615 @littleredm Thanks. It was nice to relax. Our week/weekend is about to get crazy busy, so I'm happy we got one night in.

@madcouplewithabox Yr chart is lookin good.
@brookert615 I also slept well last time, comparatively to how I normally sleep!
@littleredm Like a job interview? If so, good luck! Or are you... like, being interviewed? If so... super cool.
@bobbyflies2020 I am RIGHT WITH YOU on "I am ready for AF to come so I can get on with next cycle"--though at the same time, I like my ~14-15 day luteal phase that seems like a good # for that so at the same time I'm like "fine, I'll wait."
@kbrown2385 I LOVE that you're getting milk from yr local dairy farm and especially love that the choc. milk is baller. Mostly unrelated: I can't have chocolate, like, the week before and first few days of AF? It gives me awful cramps? It's the worst.
Month/Cycle: 7/2AL
CD/DPO: 26/13
Timing: -2
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: WFAF
R/R: My dissertation director told me about this job that I'm going to apply for, but I'm not sure how getting it might affect my path to finish my degree OR the really great class they are letting me teach in the fall? It'd HAVE to be more $ than I make as a grad student and likely w/ benefits though, & it would help buy me time until I got my book pub'd/got my dream job (I'm holding out for it.) <---covers both rant AND rave bc I'm excited to apply, but there are a lot of "buts".
@lcking82 hope you’re able to get your pedicure today!
@brookert615 sorry for the bfn.

@kbrown2385 hope delivered milk (especially chocolate) sounds yummy!
@kagesstarshroom good luck with the interview and decision making!
@littleredm good luck with your interview too! Sorry about your neighbors dog. Ours barks at us all the time, it doesn’t really bother me, but the neighbor screaming at them to come in and stop does, haha.
CD/DPO: 25/6
Timing: Good, per fertility friend.
Typical LP length: I have no idea. I've been on birth control for so long.
Testing: Probably on the 18th.
R/R: I'm going to California this weekend to see my mom and I'm so excited. I haven't seen her in a while. I kind of wish things had worked out that I could've had a BFP and told her in person as she's had a very rough month (my grandmother is quite ill).
