the_most_happy

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 28/? (I realized yesterday that the day FF identified as my O day was not the day I identified as my O day based on OPKs and CF -- I think I'm about 7 DPO, FF thinks I'm 11 DPO)

Timing: -2, -1, 0, 1 (if I'm correct about when I O'd)

Typical LP length: Unsure

Testing: This weekend probably

R/R: Rave is that we made delicious barbacoa, cilantro-lime rice, black beans with chipotle peppers, fajita veggies, guac, and spicy palomas yesterday for Cinco de Mayo, and I'm very excited about getting to eat/drink more of all of that today, haha. Rant is that I have been having trouble sleeping lately and so I took a half-dose of Zzzquil last night and I feel groggy now.

CS/Q: Nah.

@the_most_happy That meal sounds sooooo good! DH made chicken fajitas so also on point but def not to that level. FF is confused for me too because I drank the night before O and had to ditch the high temp (fail) so I switched it to manual for this cycle, I know I O'd on CD17 and not CD16.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: -4, -3, -1, O, +1

Typical LP length: 9-10 (but on progesterone now so who knows)

Testing: Sometime next week

R/R: I'm finally feeling really good again mentally. I think because I am almost done with my rough work period and have been getting really positive feedback and also the weather is amazing. It is so nice to feel good again but also makes me realize just how meh I have been. I'm way too hopeful about this cycle with the progesterone though so I could be in for a hard fall next week. 

CS/Q: Would be pretty aside from my temp fails

Month/Cycle: 24/18/8 (AL#2)

CD/DPO: 19/1dpiui

Timing: Hopefully spot on! 

Typical LP length: 14-16 days

Testing: May 19th and not a day sooner!

R/R: Happy Hump Day!! IUI yesterday went well, and now the waiting begins! I’m trying not to put too much pressure on the first IUI working, but we are also trying to stay positive & optimistic! So hopefully we can find the right balance to not be too crushed if it doesn’t work out this cycle! It’s been a bit gloomy and cooler here, but we were still able to get a walk in last night and plan on doing the same tonight! 

CS/Q: None.

@the_most_happy your Cinco de Mayo dinner sounds so yummy...and yay for leftovers! Sounds like you have awesome timing if you O’d when you think you did! Fingers crossed for you! 

@legallykate so glad you are feeling good! That’s great you have been getting good feedback at work, and the weather being nice always puts me in a good mood too! I totally understand the optimism, especially with starting the progesterone! I will say, my first cycle using it...I had my hopes up really high, and my temps made it seem very promising. I actually stopped temping after that cycle, because I think the progesterone made my temps a little misleading, so I didn’t want to keep getting my hopes up based on that. I so hope this is your cycle though!!

@legallykate so glad you're feeling better! I know that feeling of coming out of a fog of bad emotion and realizing you spiraled a bit more than you thought you had at the time. Really hope progesterone does the trick for you and this is your cycle!

@bluetickgal YAY for the IUI going smoothly. It's so hard to strike that balance between optimism and not getting your hopes up too much. Fingers crossed for you!
