Month/Cycle: 10 / 2 AL

CD/DPO: 11/ O day today!

Timing: good/okay. -3, -2, O. Mad we didn’t get -1 in. 

Typical LP length: doesn’t matter, will be on progesterone 

Testing: torn. I have a major travel/girls night plans on 13/14 DPO that would include a little wine. Do I remain ignorant? Do I test early? AH I dunno. 

R/R: mad we missed -1, but I’m trying to remain calm bc I can’t expect a 1 cycle unicorn moment. Trying to chill this weekend and relax!!

CS/Q: see the testing part. What should I do?? I

@chichiphin - Hmm. If it were me honestly I would probably have a little bit of wine (like a small glass that I'd drink slowly while everyone else is having 2nd and 3rd glasses) and testing on CD15 but that's because I always err on the side of not testing and never believing I could be KU. Could you test the morning of CD13?

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 29/10

Timing: -5, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: WFAF

R/R: I thought I felt some PMS-y cramps earlier, sigh.

CS/Q: nope

chichiphin

@whitealbum29 I’m considering doing that / pour wine, go to the bathroom and dump said wine while others are tipsy... I know I know, waste of wine but damn I’m not telling people ish for a long time haha

Good morning, ladies! Happy Easter and Happy Passover to those who celebrate! 

@chichiphin don't feel silly hoping for that special unicorn cycle AL. I think we all do that. 🦄 Maybe you could put apple juice or cranberry juice in a wine glass? That's what I plan on doing if I get KU close to a holiday and don't want to tell people. 
@whitealbum29 sorry you feel PMS-y. You're not out until AF shows!

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (third cycle AL)

CD/DPO: 23/FF says 6, I think it's 4

Timing: 🌟

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: Nopenopenope. Maybe next weekend unless AF shows before then.

R/R: DH and I had a really nice anniversary dinner last night. Can't believe we were too full to order dessert, though! I am making a strawberry pie today to bring to Easter. I've never made one before, so wish me luck. I wanted to make a blueberry pie, but since blueberries aren't in season yet they were crazy expensive. As in it would have cost $20 just to buy enough fresh blueberries. Nope! I'll wait until summer.

CS/Q: FF hasn't moved my crosshairs, but I still think O was on CD19.

@chichiphin I would still enjoy the wine! Also, your timing is great! Actually, now that I write this, I realize we had the same timing. Haha! 

puppylove8910

Ugh @whitealbum29 I really hope AF stays away! 

bows22

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 22/6

Timing: EODish

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: 11 DPO

R/R: going to a baseball game later but the weather forecast isn’t great. It’s beautiful out now so hoping it continues. I love baseball in the spring before it get so hot 

@chichiphin if it was me and I wanted to hold out on testing I’d have a glass (or 2 if it’s over several hours) and just drink slow and drink some water in between. Or if it thought I wouldn’t enjoy it because I’d be worried I’m KU I would do the bathroom pour out you mentioned. Hopefully everyone will drink enough that they won’t pay too much attention to you!

puppylove8910

@emeraldduchess I bet those cross hairs will move again tomorrow with another high temp! FF is getting closer and closer to your CD 19 O.  Also, glad your anniversary dinner was great!

@bows22 Enjoy the baseball game!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -3, -2, O, +1

Typical LP length: 12-14

Testing: 10 DPO, @bows22 is my testing buddy!

R/R: It is pouring rain at the moment, but at least I made it to Barre class! 

CS/Q:

chichiphin

@puppylove8910 good job making it to barre class!
@whitealbum29 fx it’s too soon for pms cramps and they mean something else!
@emeraldduchess yikes that’s pricey - hope the strawberry pie turns out well - sounds good  
@bows22 hope the weather holds off for you guys to enjoy baseball 

emeraldduchess

@chichiphin I feel like I was lucky to get any fruit at all!  The stores have been mobbed because the union workers at one of the local chains are on strike.  The majority of people around here (myself included) support the workers and won't cross the picket line.  The other stores that normally get moderate traffic are now getting slammed.  
@bows22 hope the rain holds off for the game!  Hope the team you're supporting is doing better than the Red Sox right now. Ooof.
@puppylove8910 look at you getting to class on a Saturday morning! Awesome!  How much does barre class mimic ballet?  I used to dance and I've been trying to find something like it besides Zumba. My problem though is that I am NOT flexible at all (and I'm short) so I would be the lady struggling to get her foot on the top bar!

I hope everyone is gearing up for amazing weekends. I had a brief chance to enjoy some sunshine today before heading into a long day of technical rehearsal in the theatre. 

@emeraldduchess I took a barre class last year and loved it! I don't have much of a dance background and I found it to be a nice mix of Pilates and cardio coupled with ballet. I was taking a ballet class at the same time and I was happy to have that experience in barre. That said, I don't think you need ballet experience to do barre (at least the class I took) so your flexibility likely wouldn't be an issue - kind of a work at your own pace thing!

@emeraldduchess we are CD twins and sadly AL twins as well. 


Month/Cycle: 9/9 (3rd after loss) 

CD/DPO: 23/4

Timing: I wanna day right on. Atleast according to FF

Typical LP length: 12-14 

Testing: I already feel like my bodies raring up for AF so if nothing else then I guess next weekend. 

R/R: my rant is in the randoms thread. Rave is the absolutely stunning weather we are having today. I got a SUNBURN. I shouldn’t be happy about it but I am lol. 

CS/Q: I don’t know about FF. Does anyone else with PCOS find temping helps ? I read once it’s not recommended but I feel like I need to do more. My chart in spoiler even though I don’t think it’s right. 

emeraldduchess

@kels0091 hi cycle buddy. Glad the weather has been nice where you are! It's pouring rain here. Yuck! 

kels0091

@emeraldduchess oh yuck. We get about 8.5/9 solid months of rain. So once a sunny day comes along the entire island rejoices hahaha. 

Not sure where you’re located but I hope the weather smartens up.
