Month/Cycle: 11/12

CD/DPO: 25/12 or 13

Timing: Either -1,O or O,+1

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: Don’t worry guys, I took one more test today “just to be sure.” 🙄

R/R: Happy Halloween! I hope everyone is having better weather than we are for trick or treat tonight. It’s the only day of the year that I feel neighborly. The trick or treaters need to suck it up though so that I don’t have to eat all of the leftover candy. I can feel AF starting any minute so my next post will probably be in WTO, hope to see none of you over there!

CS/Q:

Edit to make sense 

gingermama29

@bows22 sorry for another BFN. I'll be joining you over in WTO soon. 

Month/Cycle: 5/3

CD/DPO: 54/13

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

Typical LP length: 11-13 based on last cycle

Testing: WFAF

R/R: Happy Halloween! No AF yet so I'm still here waiting for her to show. School will be a sh*tshow of sugar and craziness today. But I'm looking forward to my students having a parade in their costumes. Tonight's weather is supposed to be crappy with 60 mph wind gusts and heavy rain. No idea how that will impact trick-or-treaters (we live in the village and get tons of kids every year). We failed at actually getting around to carving our pumpkins this year so I guess they'll just sit on our porch as fall decorations throughout November. Whoops.

CS/Q: 

inthewoods23

@bows22 how fitting to get AF in Halloween of all days. If you find you're not getting a lot of trick or treaters just hand the ones that do show a massive handful of candy.

@gingermama29 your weather sounds worse than ours! I think the snow stops around 2 or 3 today, so it should just be cold during the trick or treat hours. But 60mph gusts and rain? Yuck! Those kids better have ponchos on over their costumes!

Month/Cycle: 28/23

CD/DPO: 35/6

Timing: -1, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: only if AF is late

R/R: I've been going back and forth about what to wear for a costume at work today and I've sort of randomly decided to be a backpacker. I have hiking boots and I'll just dress in a lot of layers and bring my backpack that is what I actually use as my carry on bag for flights. I'll stay warm for the weather. It'll be great lol.

CS/Q: still no solid CH but whatevs

kmalls

@bows22 ugh sorry for the additional bfn. And we’re on the crappy-weather-for-Halloween train, too. Fortunately we didn’t buy too much candy so kind of hope not many kids come by and we don’t look like assholes for running out, ha. 

@gingermama29 +1 to not actually getting around to carving pumpkins. It’s just so much work! Fall porch decorations for sure. 

AFM:

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -4, -2, -1, +1

Typical LP length: not sure 

Testing: 10dpo

R/R: Happy Halloween! Shitty rainy weather will probably curb the number of kids at our door, but I’m just glad it’s not snow. Completely unrelated: I work a super part time job at a tennis club and one of my shifts is Friday nights. Switched with someone else this week so now I have Friday night with DH. I see a White Claw or two in my future

CS/Q: slight temp spike today 

pocketrose

Morning all! Also looking at bad weather for trick or treaters @gingermama29 and @kmalls but we also can’t find the big bag of candy we bought so maybe for the best?


Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 41/10

Timing: -1, O

Typical LP length: no idea

Testing: WFAF 

R/R: im trying to raise money for a playground at the local public school in my neighborhood and asked my state rep for help and she gave me some advice but I see that she’s helped another school get a grant and I’m like...why didn’t you tell me exactly what you told them? I think it’s making me feel a bit anxious because we have a lot of ground to cover in regards to raising money.

kmalls

@inthewoods23 backpacker is always a solid choice. Do you have a beanie? You could always throw that on and carry a camera call yourself Blair Witch Project.

Month/Cycle: 18/11/2(AL#2)

CD/DPO: 32/15

Timing: Pretty good.

Typical LP length: 14-16

Testing: I’ll test again tomorrow and/or Saturday if AF doesn’t arrive before then. 

R/R: Happy Halloween everyone! We are getting crappy weather for trick or treating too...pretty chilly and high winds! We normally sit out with our neighbors and pass out candy all together, but it looks like we’ll be in the house this year. We bought a huge bag of candy from Sam’s, so our trick or treaters may be getting handfuls of candy if there aren’t many of them! 

CS/Q: None. Temp went down a bit, but it’s still pretty high...so who knows at this point!

@bows22 I’m so sorry for another BFN and that you feel like AF is on her way!! Sending hugs! 💜 I hope the weather doesn’t keep the trick or treaters away!! We’ve already decided we are splitting up any leftovers and taking them to work, because we do NOT need candy at home! 

@gingermama29 hope AF stays away indefinitely! Also hope school isn’t too crazy!! A parade sounds fun for the kids though! You did better than us...we didn’t get around to buying pumpkins this year and our mums died while we were on vacation, so we have no Fall decorations! We will do better for Christmas though! 

@inthewoods23 your costume sounds cute...and definitely warm, so that’s nice!! 

@kmalls nice temp spike you got there! Sorry you have crappy trick or treat weather too!! Yay for having Friday night off with YH though! 

@pocketrose good luck with the fundraising! That’s nice your state rep gave you some advice...maybe it wouldn’t hurt to reach out again to get some further help if you feel like you need it though. 

gingermama29

@inthewoods23 that's a cute costume idea and bonus for staying warm!

@kmalls the pumpkins last longer uncarved, so extra fall decor bonus. Your chart looks great so far!

@pocketrose good luck with the fundraiser! I'm glad you were able to get input from your state rep.

@bluetickgal I'm crossing everything for you still. Sounds like we're going to have similar weather with the winds. Hope you still get plenty of trick-or-treaters!

Happy Halloween, Ladies!!

Month/Cycle: 13/11/1 (AL #2)

CD/DPO: 17/3 dpiui

Timing: -4, -3, IUI +PM

Typical LP length: 14 with the medication

Testing: Beta on lucky 11/11!

R/R: I got a lot of much needed sleep last night, but man, I am still tired...also, holy bloated belly, Batman! It's a rainy day here, but thankfully it's supposed to stop raining for a few hours right around trick or treat time (and then we get hit with the storm), so yay!! I'm only working a half day today, so 2 more hours to go and then I get to go home! 

CS/Q: nope!

@bows22 I love you, friend!!

@gingermama29 good luck with your crazy sugar filled students today!! At least they will be extra cute, right?!

@inthewoods23 I think that's a perfect costume! Especially to keep you warm!  It's actually really warm here today, 73!! Which is crazy for us at Halloween time!

@kmalls yay for having Friday night off with YH!! We live on a main street, so we don't get a lot of trick or treaters to begin with, but I'm hoping we don't get any less than normal because I do NOT want to be stuck with all of this candy!!

@pocketrose I think it's amazing what you are doing!!! How fabulous!!

@bluetickgal oooooooo, friend!!! I am keeping everything crossed so tightly for you!!!!!!!!

Happy Halloween ladies!
ive been here the past couple of days in spurts. I just haven’t had time to post and ghost!

@bows22 Man it sounds like everyone is having funky weather today! Today is the coldest day of the year here so far! The low this afternoon is 28! Sorry for impending af...:(

@gingermama29 hope your students aren’t too crazy today! I actually wanted to keep one of our pumpkins in the porch through November but everywhere has sold out the big pumpkins so I carved it! Oh well, I still have a little one and a dead mum. 😂 sorry for bad weather! Everyone is having funky weather today! 

@inthewoods23 that’s a wonderful idea! You’ll be so cute! I tried to talk my husband into throwing an outfit together but he’s a sour sport. 🙄 

@kmalls enjoy your night with DH! 

@pocketrose GL raising money! That sounds hard!

@bluetickgal it sounds like everyone will be eating a lot of candy tonight! How did you get your RHR to go along your chart like that? I’ve been playing around with it and I cannot figure it out! Your chart looks good!  

@kpearse99 enjoy your half day!! I bet lots of candy will help the bloat! 😜 jk but it’ll taste good. 

Idk what is wrong with the spacing...

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 23/13

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: WFAF, bfn at dpo 

R/R: We’ll be doing Halloween this afternoon with our friends! After they’re done trick or treating they’re coming over for chilli and hot dogs and a Halloween themed dinner. The weather is also weird for us today. So far it’s the coldest day of the year. So if we go out we’ll have to bundle up! I’m going as a cat, kind of. I’m wearing ears and makeup and normal clothes. Lolol 

CS/Q: small drop this morning, I’m hoping it’s because the weather is cold and we haven’t turned the heat on yet. 

kpearse99

@photographerwife we've missed you around here!!  I don't know why I'm so bloated! I don't normally get bloated this early on after O, it's typically only when AF is here. And I wasn't bloated after the last IUI... who knows though!

photographerwife

@kpearse99 who knows! Hopefully it doesn’t go away for a while! 😉 I haven’t been far! Just a busy past couple of days! 

pocketrose

Thanks @kpearse99, I've got a lot of skin in the game mostly because I did a voiceover with a bunch of the students for a fundraising video and showed them the potential playground photos so now I've got their buy in as well. Also, thinking good bloaty thoughts for you!

bluetickgal

@gingermama29 thanks friend!!

@kpearse99 thanks so much friend!! I have a little hope again...I’m going to be so nervous testing tomorrow though! Yay for a half day...hope you can enjoy it despite the weather!! Hope the bloat is a good sign for those 2 follies too!! ☺️

@photographerwife thanks lady! Your chart is looking good too, I wouldn’t be too concerned about that small drop. As far as the RHR goes, just click on chart duo right under your chart...then you’ll select RHR as an optional sign. It should chart it after that. Hope that works! It’s been very interesting to me to be able to see them on the same chart! Your evening sounds fun, hope you have a blast! 

*Edited to fix spacing and to add @photographerwife you are not alone in the spacing issues! I’ve started having issues all of the sudden (for the past week), and I have no clue why! It’s so frustrating though!

R/R: I decided to jump back into the dailies because I’m way too excited about my body’s behavior. I had zero spotting post O until today! AF should be here tomorrow or Saturday. But this is the first time in MONTHS that I haven’t had spotting on and off throughout the entire TWW. 

CS/Q: Nothing exciting to see. 

@bows22 Ugh, sorry about the bfn 😞

@gingermama29 that weather sounds awful! We didn’t get a chance to carve our pumpkins either but using them as fall decor is a great idea. 

@inthewoods23 your costume sounds comfortable and functional. Which are the only kinds of costumes I like to wear 😂

@kmalls Enjoy your Friday night off! 

@pocketrose Can you write her back and ask her for advice on how you can get a grant like the other playground did? 

@bluetickgal Sorry for the crummy weather. If you do get any trick or treaters they’re gonna love you and your fist fulls of candy! 

@kpearse99 Yay for a half day! Enjoy your short day and Halloween festivities! 

@photographerwife Awww a Halloween themed dinner sounds fun! Enjoy! 

bluetickgal

@tyrion_ yay for no spotting, that is wonderful news!! I hope your cycle off has helped to rejuvenate & recharge you and great things happen this next cycle!! 🤞🏻 Haha, they will...but they deserve it if they get out in these conditions!

CS/Q:  

kpearse99

@tyrion_ that is amazing news, friend!!!! 

@bluetickgal I’m so nervous for you but I have a good feeling too!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Eeeeek!!!

@jtdamm2018 Oh a wedding weekend sounds wonderful!!! I hope you have so much fun! 

bluetickgal

@jtdamm2018 hope you have fun at the wedding and a great time with family! 

NamelessAria

@bows22 @gingermama29 sounds like the three of us will all be in WTO soon. But fingers crossed at least one of you ends up being the BFP on 14DPO unicorn.

@inthewoods23 your costume idea sounds fun yet practical. I like it!

@tyrion_ yay for no spotting so far! That's an awesome improvement.

mama_mea

@tyrion_ eek! Keeping fingers crossed for you!!

I guess I'm moving over here now even though I never pinpointed O day. Feeling hopeful, gotten some interesting vaginal cramps and low abdomen cramps TW

I've only ever felt those the last 3 pregnancies (that all ended in MC), otherwise I've never dealt with that before!

Going to test mid-week next week, probably Wednesday. 

gingermama29

Sorry I missed some of you yesterday

@kpearse99 the costumes are school were super cute! Sorry you're feeling bloated. Hopefully it's because you're KU!

@photographerwife I love you Halloween plans! I hope you had so much fun! Tell AF to stay away!!

@tyrion_ so glad to hear you've had no spotting during the TWW! I hope it has been a nice mental break taking this cycle off.

@jtdamm2018 have fun at the wedding this weekend!

@NamelessAria thanks friend. I'm not the magical unicorn this month though as AF showed up right before bed. FX you don't follow me over to WTO!

@mama_mea FX for you!
