Good morning, ladies! Jumping in early here & will check back in when this crazy Monday schedule allows.
Month/Cycle: 12/8/2 AL
CD/DPO: 16/4DPO/6DPIUI
Timing: -2, -1, O
Typical LP length: 10-13
Testing: You know I rarely ever wait! Probably end of this workweek and weekend.
R/R: Rave is that MH & I saw our new RE together for the first time and we ended up getting a surprise IUI that day because I was about to ovulate! I put a whole long detailed update on the IF thread.
CS/Q: FF wants to put my O one day earlier than I think it was. TMI, but cervix was very open on the day FF predicts O, and then almost completely closed the next day (the day I think was O day). Any of you notice consistent Cervical Position details right before/right after your O? Thanks!
R/R: I have a dull cramp on my right side. I am feeling a little testy today. It's my wedding anniversary today and I miss my husband. Ready to go back home!!! I love Florida, but home is where my family is.
CS/Q: I was supposed to get my period today and my temps keep rising (today's shot up). Maybe the new supplements I am taking are working & my LP is getting longer? Or maybe my new thyroid medication is messing with my cycle. I've said this a few times, but my H had to go back to work (we live in the UK) two weeks ago & my attempts to corner him to DTD where not very successful before he left.
Me: 26, DH: 31 Diagnosed with Hashimoto's 06/17

@emeraldduchess - great about your audition! Hope you get some good news soon!
@keikilove - That's great that you got an impromptu IUI!
@nolemama24 - Happy anniversary! Sorry you can't be with your H today.
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: nope
R/R: Our weekend was good, had brunch Sunday with another couple who will hopefully become our friends! I feel like I'm dating again and am overanalyzing whether they like us. But other than that we ate some good food this weekend, watched some good movies and finally cleaned our house after like two weeks of being kinda neglectful.
CS/Q: nope. My boobs have been sore since like 5dpo which is unusual but preparing myself for it to be just an unusually long case of PMS.
Testing: Haven't decided yet. Maybe 11dpo or I might just WFAF. Will be a spur of the moment decision like it usually is!
R/R: Cue the BSC. I had a dream last night that I had implantation bleeding so that must mean something, right?! *Kidding* But bring on all the SSing now. Haha!
CS/Q: I stopped temping after O was confirmed so nothing to see.

@emeraldduchess That’s so awesome about the audition! I hope you hear something back soon. Woohoo for earlier O!
@keikilove That’s great about the surprise IUI! Keeping everything crossed for you!
@nolemama24 Happy anniversary! When do you go back home?
@whitealbum29 Sounds like a great weekend! Oh the anxiety of making new friends.. I bet they are wondering the same thing!

R/R: Sorry I was MIA last week. I missed you all! It was a busy work week for me and my mom was in as well. I did have one full spa day with my best friend as well, which was so needed! I get a day off today so will do some adulting- errands, cleaning, etc. My doctor ordered a sperm analysis for MH so we will hopefully get the results for that next week.
CS/Q: It’s not working to post my chart for some reason
*edited to fix paragraphs that came out wonky *edited to try to add chart
Me: 35 DH: 35 TTC since 9/2018

Due Dec 2021 12/21- Baby girl born!
Testing: Going to attempt not to. I'm at the point where SS really starts for me and for my sanity I'm trying to nip that in the bud.
R/R: I did a 5k this weekend, and had a personal best time! Now I'm dragging post-GOT finale though.
CS/Q: Nope
me: 35 / so: 34 | ttc #1 since 9/2018

Month/Cycle: 5
CD/DPO: 25/12
Timing: "good" Typical LP length: 12-14 Testing: BFN. I caved and used a cheapie this morning. I stared way too long at the evap line. I even inverted a pic of it in FF. I thought if used a HPT would calm me down but now I want to run out and buy FRERs. 🤦♀️ I have no control! R/R: DH and I had a great date on Saturday. Continuing to SS like crazy...obviously. *smh* CS/Q: No, I will try to keep some of the crazy to myself. 😄
@emeraldduchess I guess we were posting at the same time and I missed yours. Congrats on a smooth audition, FX that you hear good news about the role very soon!
@nolemama24 Happy anniversary! I’m sorry you guys are apart today, hopefully reuniting will lead to lots of HIO to make up for the recent travels & separation.
@whitealbum29 That does sound like such a fun weekend. Can totally relate to you “dating” your new friends lol! Why does it have to be so hard to make new friends in adult life?!
@puppylove8910 I support the BSC from dreams haha. Let’s hope there was some truth to it in real life.
@misshelen86 Nice to see you back here So glad to hear you had a spa day with a friend, you certainly deserve it! Hope your hubby’s SA results come back quickly and that you’re able to check one more thing off your list.
@mvt2003 Congratulations on your PR in the 5k. That’s awesome!!! (Also dragging today due to GoT finale. Hope there’s somewhere on this board today to fully commiserate about that ending.)

R/R: I fell yesterday walking down the one step from my house to my garage. I am so clumsy. My ankle gave out and it was this really awkward sort of roll to the ground. It hurt, but was funny too. I am ok, nothing except for one bruise.
CS/Q: I stopped temping on Friday because my weekend was crazy. So nothing really to see.
Typical LP length: No clue. I just removed my IUD and haven't had a cycle in many years.
Testing: Not yet.
R/R: Hi Everyone! I was in the WTO thread last week but I dropped off over the weekend because I was preparing for a presentation today. Glad it's over. I leave in a week for a work trip and so it's sort of another time crunch to deal with but I'm thankful for a restful couple of days. Hubby is away right now traveling for work (otherwise we would have BD on ovulation day too). Is it horrible of me to be happy to have the house to myself?
CS/Q: I was very inconsistent with temping so I can't confirm ovulation date. But I got a peak OPK result on Saturday and everything has gone down since then so I think I ovulated on Sunday. My hubby left on Sunday for a work trip and I would have liked to BD once more time but alas, it wasn't meant to be.
