Typical LP length: varies, started to spot 10 DPO last month so fingers crossed
Testing: going to wait until Friday the morning 15th (12 DPO)
R/R: I usually get up at 5am every morning but this morning I didn’t work and I could not drag myself out of bed I just felt soooooo tired. I hate feeling that kind of tired lol and I gave up coffee because I’m a psycho and thought hey if I do get PG I’d give it up anyway so I’ll just be a sleepy gal all day now lol maybe I’ll nap
CS/Q: inserted! Wondering if anyone has ever gotten a zigzag looking temp increase like mine is after ovulation? It’s still above Coverline but it’s like every other day it dips then gets bigger the next day?
R/R: Someone filed an appeal in superior court on a decision one of the town boards that I staff, and one of the reasons for the appeal was because the board didn't consider that the house was once home to a locally-known poet. [Insert biggest eye roll here.]
@dawn_tay Ugh sorry you are so tired, but enjoy the day off!! Maybe a decaf or half caff to get you going? Even while pregnant you can have a minimal amount of caffeine. Sorry, I'm new to temping this cycle so not much help, but it's continuing to increase which I think is a good sign! Fx!
@feather_heather That's so cool that you are part of the town boards!! Is the house a particularly cool looking house? lol... Yay for betas... Fx girl!!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: Saturday at 8DPO bc I have no willpower
R/R: Busy day today and will post and ghost but hoping to make it back tnt... heading into the city shortly for a few meetings. It's raining and cold, fun.
CS/Q: For all of you out there wondering... I've discarded my high temp last weekend and the freak high one yesterday and thinking my chart looks more "normal" now...

@ziggymama06 I know I still drink tea which has caffeine but I had to cut one or the other because I was an absolute caffeine addict lol one coffee won’t hurt but I fear if I have one I won’t be able to kick it again because I am a coffee monster lol and your chart does look much better now!
So quiet today! These daily check-ins used to be the main ones that were popping! Harder to get to know everyone when so many of us have moved over to the IF thread...
Month/Cycle: 18/1 AL
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: -2, IUI + PM, +1
Typical LP length: 10-13 days, so today has me on the edge of my seat!
Testing: Went for my first beta today, will need another on Friday for comparison.
R/R: Rave is that it is a beautiful day here! I saw a double rainbow so I’m accepting that as a very positive sign!
CS/Q: It’s my ugliest chart by far. Gonna chalk it up to the work travel & time zone changes.
@ziggymama06 Hope you’re meetings went well on your cold rainy day! FWIW, I also usually start testing on 8DPO. Can’t help it! So I support you on the crazy haha.
@feather_heather I know I said it in the Other thread, but so many good feelings of excitement for you! Hoping Friday is a great day for all of us.😊
@dawn_tay Hope your day has gone ok without the caffeine fix! I’ve also given up coffee—even my beloved decaf—so I feel you on this one! Re: your chart, that looks like a very normal pattern. It’s great that you don’t have jaggy “mountains” like mine, which can indicate inconsistencies with the time the temp was taken. If you download the FertilityFriend app you will be able to browse hundreds of thousands of charts to compare to your own and see normal patterns, pregnancy patterns, etc. Also, just a tip for inserting your chart: I just take a screenshot of mine & then insert it here as a picture—way easier than the other ways
@keikilove thanks! That’s what I did and I tried to put it in a spoiler ugh lol I figure it out! I only use mobile so idk yet lol and yeah I started to use FF but I found PREmom a little easier for a newbie! Next cycle I’ll start with FF if I don’t get a BFP!
@dawn_tay Ah gotcha girl... I have one cup of caffeinated coffee in the morning and a decaf or tea in the afternoon... my body needs something even if its tricked into decaf lolol
@keikilove Yes, totally quiet round here... and thanks the meetings went well and actually stopped raining. Omg I love that you saw a double rainbow!! Total sign 🌈🌈 Fx for Friday!!
