Re: TWW Wednesday 3/11
Month/Cycle: 15/17 including 2 benched
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -3, -1, O, +1
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: Tomorrow! A little bit of hope is creeping in (not for any particular reason, I don’t have any “symptoms” that I haven’t had in other TWWs) so I’m ready to know one way or the other
R/R: I was pretty entertained by the bachelor finale last night! Spoiler in case someone hasn’t watched yet.
I finally have the next 3 days in the office to get caught up and it’s glorious. We have a very casual dress code in the office so I’m also excited to wear comfy clothes for the rest of the week!
CS/Q:
CD/DPO: 24/2
Timing: -4, -2, -1, +1
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: waiting as long as possible!
R/R: So happy to finally be over here! I ovulated later than expected, but the good thing about that is I shouldn’t have to worry about having a glass of wine on my birthday on Friday since I’ll only be 4dpo. Silver linings, right??
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 19/2
Timing: -5, -3, -1, O (does -5 even count? Femometer includes it but seems like a stretch)
Typical LP length: 9-10
Testing: Holding out for 3/18
R/R: I have an annoying rush project I have to get done this morning (hence my being here, haha). But then hopefully work should be chill for the rest of the day. We are also refinancing our mortgage and having to do all the adulting stuff for that is mentally tiring.
CS/Q: I am still 99% sure I O'd on CD17 so could this be a fallback rise? Is that really a thing? Hopefully it will go back up tomorrow so I can get my CHs.

Typical LP length: 11-12
Testing: not
R/R: So AF will be arriving tomorrow with spotting starting yesterday. Feeling pretty bummed about it. I haven't talked to DH, but I think we need to NTNP for at least this cycle. He was very sweet and asked when do we need to start getting some testing done? I appreciate that he still seems really interested in TTGP, but my heart just isn't in it at the moment. With the upcoming move, traveling, and some family in town, this month seems like a good month to reset and not worry too much about it.
But cheering on and excited for some grads soon!
@bows22. Feeling lots of hope for you and FX. Yay for comfy clothes! We have a uniform at my job which makes deciding what to wear super easy, but I would love some dress down days!
@runningoncookies Yay for wine on bdays! Wishing you an awesome one!
@legallykate. I applaud your adulting and sympathize...we are working towards closing on a house and all the adulting is painful! I am the organized one with the filing cabinet, so I am often sent on a scavenger hunt to find this paper or that while my DH normally plays on his phone. But yay for lower interest rates!!
CD/DPO: 29/12
Timing: Pretty good.
Typical LP length: 15-16 (doesn’t matter with progesterone).
Testing: Shooting for 15DPO to stop progesterone if necessary.
R/R: Happy Hump Day!! Should be another busy day today, but not terrible hopefully! So happy we are only a few days away from the weekend now! I’m also getting a bit more hopeful for his cycle, but trying to be realistic too! It is what it is at this point, but I’m hoping so hard for November for all of us...
CS/Q: None, not temping in TWW.
@bows22 I am so excited for you to test tomorrow...hoping to see wonderful news when I check in tomorrow morning!!! 🤞🏻 I hope you have a few nice, relaxing days in the office and can get caught up on everything!
@runningoncookies yes, gotta look at those silver linings! And enjoy that birthday drink!
@legallykate hope you get your project done pretty quickly and the rest of the day isn’t too bad! I’d say you O’d on CD17...even with the lower temp today, it’s still above the 6 temps prior to suspected O. I’d say you’ll get CH’s tomorrow unless your temp happens to fall lower than that (hopefully it doesn’t though).
@dobiemom11 so sorry that it seems like AF is on her way!! 😕 That is very good that YH is so invested in the TTGP process, but that sounds like a good plan to maybe take a month off if your heart isn’t fully in it. This does sound like the perfect time to take a little break with everything else you have going on! You never know what could happen with NTNP...but if it doesn’t happen with that cycle, I hope you can start back with a refreshed/rejuvenated mindset!!
@legallykate that’s what I liked about the bachelor finale!!
@dobiemom11 I’m so sorry AF is on its way. That’s really great that YH is open to testing if it comes to that, but hopefully it won’t. Do something to treat yourself today okay? ❤️
Month/Cycle: 6/9
CD/DPO: 32/14
Timing: -2
Typical LP length: still regulating
Testing: TW potential loss mentioned
R/R: see spoiler
CS/Q: I haven’t temped the past few days.
@bows22 best of luck tomorrow on your test! Fingers crossed for a grad announcement!
@runningoncookies hope you have a great birthday!
@legallykate hope the project goes by quickly and smoothly this morning.
@dobiemom11 so sorry to hear about AF hope the NTNP month goes well and takes some stress off.
@bluetickgal fingers crossed for this cycle for you!
@dobiemom11 Sorry about AF I hope you and YH can come to an agreement regarding the next month and beyond that. I can definitely understand wanting a break. And closing on a house is exhausting in itself!
@bluetickgal Loving the November hype, FX for you!
@allthingscozy Sending all the creepy internet hugs

Month/cycle: 11/9 (8al#2)
CD/DPO: 19/7
Timing: pretty good
Typical LP length: 12-14 days
Testing: waiting until Saturday
R/R: I haven't slept well since the time change and feel like I am just dragging every day. By the time I get home every night I'm just dead tired so I haven't been running. I'm hoping to get out for a bit today, especially since it's sunny! I went to the grocery store last night to grab milk and it was INSANE. I ended up getting my essential disaster supplies: milk and Oreos 😂 I feel like this week has gone quickly bc I'm so preoccupied with the Corona stuff that I'm not analyzing my chart 40 times a day (only 10x lol).
CS/Q: nine
@bows22 good luck tomorrow and yay that you can wear casual clothes for the rest of the week!
@runningoncookies yay for O! Enjoy that wine on Friday and early happy birthday!! Are you doing anything special?
@legallykate my temp dipped down 2dpo too- it was right about the CH. Good luck on all the adulting!
@dobiemom11 you have a lot going on. Good luck with whatever you decide. Sometimes I feel like ntnp makes me even crazier bc I'm like well maybe this one is it bc we're not trying so hard. We're completely benching ourselves the next few months bc I can't handle ntnp - I don't handle ambiguity well!
@allthingscozy I'm so sorry.
@allthingscozy TW
@photographerwife I did because I had the same question. Unfortunately just as faint on the frer this morning.
(Edited to add spoiler because I forgot before posting)
@runningoncookies love your silver lining! Enjoy your wine!!
@legallykate Wishing you luck with your project. I always wonder how much -5 really counts too, lol, because I tend to BD that day as well! 🤣 I have no answers, just comiserating.
@dobiemom11 I’m sorry. It is definitely nice that YH is on board with moving forward and seeking help. NTNP during happy a busy month sounds like it would be good for sanity’s sake. ❤️
CD/DPO: 28/9
Timing: -5 (so @legallykate isn’t alone in counting this day) & -1(x2)
Typical LP length: 10-15 but guessing 11-12 this cycle
Testing: Holding out until Saturday
R/R: Not much going on.... just looking forward to the weekend. Also trying to decide whether I can justify on spending $100 on updating my wardrobe because there are sales right now and I feel like I could get a lot for that amount. Worth it, right?
CS/Q: None, stopped temping

@_orchid_ the coronavirus prep is so fascinating to me. I hope you guys have a good plan in place (but hopefully you won’t need it). We have no plan here!
@bluetickgal I’m only hopeful for you too so I get it!!
@dobiemom11 sorry for waiting for AF to start. FX for you during your NTNP month...you never know!
@bluetickgal I totally am with you in the hopeful/realistic camp. This month is for no reason at all the most hopeful I have been and I keep trying to reel myself back in!
@allthingscozy I’m so sorry...sending so many hugs your way.
@krystrist2014 yes to new clothes! Shopping is always the answer.
@allthingscozy. Sending love your way and hopefully the doctor can help get some clarity!
@bows22 I'm fascinated too! I keep checking the latest news. I see every student in the school over the course of the week and it's all we've been talking about! This is truly history in the making and is going to change the world, even if it's just how schools/work operate by having more people join in remotely.
@runningoncookies that sounds like a perfect birthday! I'm all about low-key. So sweet YH is making you dinner!
@dobiemom11 hope you made it out of the grocery store ok! Is your mom coming to see the new house?
@allthingscozy fingers crossed your Dr is right!
