Re: TWW Tuesday 3/17
CD/DPO: 93/6
Timing: -2
Typical LP length: 13 days
Testing: WFAF
R/R: I'm supposed to have my follow up appointment with my OB on Thursday to discuss the results of my US and blood work. I really don't want to go out in public with all that's going on right now. I wonder if he'd do the follow up over the phone.

CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: -5, -3, -1, O
Typical LP length: 9-10
Testing: Tomorrow but not expecting much at 9dpo
R/R: I thought I was handling the TWW better than usual, especially in light of all the other craziness right now, but this morning I had a dream AF came and woke up feeling blah about it. I am also kind of going stir crazy. I don't have any FRERs on hand but feel like it is probably stupid to run out today/tonight just to buy those if I want to start testing tomorrow. I have a billion Wondfos so should probably make do.

CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 5/3(AL)
CD/DPO: 25/9
Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0, +1
Typical LP length: 11-12 Days
Testing: Nope. No point
R/R: I’m feeling kinda blah and down today. 😢 I just know deep down in my heart that I’m not PG. I can’t explain it but it’s just this strong feeling I’m having and it’s making sad. At this point I just want AF to come so I can get it over with. I have to go to work today and I really don’t want to. I don’t really want to leave the house or go anywhere. Ugh... it’s gonna be one of those days today. Also, every time I blow my nose it bleeds. I don’t know why. Maybe the air is so dry??
CS/Q: None
@runningoncookies Sorry time is going to go slow for you the next couple of days. I hope it goes by quickly and you can test soon.
@legallykate I’m sorry you had a dream about AF coming and it made you feel blah. GL testing tomorrow. FX for you girl.
@Gingermama29 I hope you can have your OB appt over the phone instead on Thursday. I wouldn’t want to go out either if I didn’t have to. GL.
Month/Cycle: 9/8/2(AL)
CD/DPO: 15/3
Timing: Good, surprisingly, technically we were NTNP. 😬 I guess we were just feelin it around FW.
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: not unless AF is late.
R/R: Officially on quarantine starting today. I did some last minute shopping yesterday to grab some essentials. I’m hoping so bad that DH doesn’t come in contact. He is a welder in a big shop, but they have a lot of employees.... maybe his hood will act as a mask. 😂 Now that by benched time is over, I’m nervous about having 1 tube will affect my fertility.. ugh.
CS/Q:
@legallykate the TWW is always such a mind fu**! Even more so when you don’t have much to kee your mind occupied. FX for tomorrow!
@runningoncookies I hope the next 4 days go by quickly for you!
@mindyb2019 Sorry the TWW feelings are getting to you. It’s hard not to lose hope every cycle... *hugs* hope your nose bleeds stop soon. That has to be annoying.
CD/DPO: 25/13 (or 11 - I didn't opk this cycle)
Timing: pretty good
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: at this point WFAF. tested on Sunday and BFN.
R/R: I slept really poorly last night. I spent yesterday washing all of our bedding including our mattress topper and our light weight comforter bc it's been too warm for the winter comforter. All the blankets and mattress topper took for.ev.er to dry, and only finished right before we went to sleep (our dryer is small and old so it takes a lot of cycles).
I ended up having a dream that the mattress topper was still wet and the dampness was coming through the sheets, and then woke up and couldn't figure out if it really was. Every time I fell back asleep I had the same dream. I woke DH up 2x to ask if his side was damp. Of course I woke up this morning and everything is 100% dry and DH is annoyed with me 🤣. Good think I have nowhere to be today so no one will notice the bags under my eyes!
CS/Q: none.
@gingermama29 I hope your Dr will speak to you over the phone! They might prefer that too. I've been getting alerts from all our drs, dentists, and even the vet that they're closing the offices unless emergencies and then to call first.
@legallykate I always get frustrated when I have tests in the house bc I take so many and then I get frustrated when I don't have tests bc I want to test so much! Good luck with whatever you decide to do, I'm also team Amazon bc the lines at our local stores have been nuts.
@mindyb2019 ::hugs:: sorry you're having such a tough day. Be kind to yourself. Do you have allergies? Sometimes I get nosebleeds this time of year due to those.
@photographerwife welcome to quarantine life! It's day 2 for us and I can't imagine doing this for weeks, let alone months! Hoping it doesn't come to that.
@runningoncookies I hope thought gets here quickly for you and testing goes well!! Hopefully you can find something to distract you between now and then.
@mindyb2019 hugs friend. I'm sorry you're feeling out this cycle. I hope you're not! FX!
@photographerwife DH has to work still too and I'm also feeling nervous. He's in a bank. I hope YH can stay safe!
@_orchid_ sorry for the BFN this weekend and the rough night of no sleep. Hopefully you can squeeze in a nap today!
@gingermama29 glad you can do your follow up on the phone!!
@gingermama29 thanks my friend. I don’t want to be out either but Sadly I am. trust me. I just know. I will be going to WTO this weekend when AF comes.
@gingermama29 that's great that your Dr will call instead! What a relief! I forced myself out for a 30 minute walk in the rain this morning and that woke me up... I am going to pass out tonight though lol.
