Happy Friday!

Timing: just okay

R/R: my birthday was not too bad yesterday! DH wished me happy birthday (plus some ridiculous comics) 12 times via text message yesterday. Not to mention the maybe 10+ times he said it to me in person. He has a strange sense of humor but I love it lol. And then to top it off, when he passed me to go shower this morning he turned around and said "oh.... happy belated birthday". Just... why?!? lol.

CS/Q: temps are still climbing!

R/R: TGIF!  i have a bunch of work headaches that seem likely to run into the weekend unfortunately.  this particular project ends on Tuesday so the end is in sight!  Will spend more time this weekend with our workshop reorganization.  maybe more yardwork, weather permitting, but my allergies are still bothering me a bit so i might sit it out.

CS/Q:  i spent the morning transferring all my temps into FF from premom, so now i have both and will likely transition to FF for temping purposes.  however i really need to be better about timing it because its a mess.  is there a way i can track my T/C ratio on FF too?

here is my premom chart

here is my *~new~* FF chart

@inthewoods23 unsure how i missed your post.  Glad your bday was not so bad!  sounds like YH was trying to be cute!

@asf0613 for some reason your premom pictures never show up for me! The FF one shows up just fine. *shrug*

I don't believe FF does the T/C ratio. To my knowledge you can't even enter pictures of your OPKs to keep record. Hence why I downloaded the Premom app specifically to check my OPK lines ha. I'm using Pregmate brand OPKs though so it might not be as accurate as using the Easy@Home brand.

That just made me realize I'm using THREE apps for tracking. I started with Flo and like it's interface a lot better. It looks nicer. Then I added FF since that's heavily used here and does seem to allow you to take more things into account for your cycle. I could mark my IUIs and IVF in FF but not Flo. And then I just added Premom maybe 2 weeks ago to track the OPK lines.

@inthewoods23 thanks for the insight on FF.  i too have 3 apps.  before i was involved on TB i used Glow because i was really just tracking my period and sex, then i added premom because i use pregmate test strips.   i've pretty much phased out glow but i do still log my period in there.  ill definitely keep premom for the OPK lines though i guess.


i think i was saving my premom charts differently, but i tried a new way here.  i think i like FF because i can see temp difference more clearly

@asf0613 I always get confused between the line for temps and for the T/C ratio in Premom. I wish they would make the LH line smaller/less bold so you can read them better.

asf0613

@inthewoods23 that would help for sure!  FF is really missing a good opportunity to make an all-inclusive app.  id even pay for it if it means one less thing to log every day

Sorry I haven't checked-in in a couple days! I find I don't always have much to contribute and I'm trying not to hyper-focus on the TWW.

@inthewoods23

@asf0613 I'm not temping so I just use Premom but I don't like that I can't see other things that I've entered on the chart like in FF, like cramps. It took me forever to even find where I could see it at all. All these apps need to just get together to develop one app that has the best parts of everything! And they just did an update to the Premom app and everything is different and I hate when apps do that! If I'm still at this next cycle I might need to use FF again. 

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0, 1

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: Waiting until 5/1 which will be 12 dpo

R/R: Rave - it is beautiful out! I have been "working" from the deck all afternoon. Rant - trying to stay positive so none!

CS/Q: Not really a question but I have decided to cut back significantly on alcohol in the TWW. I have always sort of used the TWW as a time to "drink while I still can" but this quarantine has increased my drinking in general so regardless I should cut back. I know it can't really hurt but it's also not helping. I might have a glass of wine tonight because we're going to do a bonfire but I don't want to drink as much as I have been. 

Nothing too exciting here:

@krash_ ive been cutting back on my drinking too for past two cycles.  i now don't drink from CD11 and on until AF arrives.  during the week of my period i've been going all out though which is probably counter productive!!
and good on you for not focusing too much during the TWW, it's really all i can focus on
