Month/Cycle: 22

CD/DPO: 2DP5DT

Timing: Excellent

Typical LP length: Full 14 days this cycle 

Testing: Beta is 6/24

R/R: I really do dislike the wait for beta (not that anyone likes it!), I'm counting down the days at this point. I told MH last night, one day down 9 to go. I'm trying to just take it one day at a time, but I feel like that's easier said than done  

Work is helping to keep me busy, which is a double edged sword I also have to do my mile tonight (MH has asked me to take a couple of days off of running it, which I'm fine with, so I'll walk it.) Progesterone has officially started kicking my @ss, which is also a total mind game because there's scientifically no way it could be anything but progesterone, but I know I'll start SS at some point. I feel cranky and bloated and hungry, so I'm basically a delight to be around  

CS/Q: Nope

It’s 9:20! Where y’all at?! 

Month/Cycle: 12/11 

CD/DPO: 27/5

Timing: -3,-2,-1,+1

Typical LP length: 12-14 days 

Testing: haven’t decided yet. They’ll start burning a hole in my figurative pocket around 9-10dpo. 😂 

R/R: not much going on for me today. The past couple of weeks have been insanely busy, and I don’t have plans for the rest of the week besides just some small things around the house. Thank the Lord! I’ve got some summer things to pull out, and winter things to put away. Clothes, shoes, coatrack etc... if only I had the money for a laundry service. Laundry is my least favorite chore. Hope you guys have a good day! 

CS/Q:

@mvt2003 hopefully work makes the next 9 days fly by!

@photographerwife i stupidly keep my tests right above the toilet so at 9DPO they literally start popping off the shelf!  hate that clothes switchover--did mine a month ago and i haven't even used much yet!

Month/Cycle: 6/5 AL

CD/DPO: 24/7

Timing: -5, -4, -2, +1

Typical LP length: 11

Testing: sunday maybe??? not testing earlier, not testing earlier, not testing earlier....

R/R: my week is off to a busy start!  i worked last night at the restaurant, and it went pretty well.  i'm working tonight again so i try to cram in as much work from my regular job in in the AM before i flake on it around 2pm. ill tell you though, being so busy i hardly think about this TWW so that's something!

CS/Q: my temps are weirdly yo-yo-ing.  nothing i can think of causing it though. ugh!

inthewoods23

@mvt2003 everybody complains about progesterone and I'm over here like... I've never noticed a real difference when I'm on it.

@photographerwife it was also super quiet on Friday and over the weekend! Like a true ghost town.

@asf0613 I love having things to distract me to make the days go by fast!

Month/Cycle: 36

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: -4, -2, 0

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: 27th at the earliest

R/R: today is a better today I think I've been doing a good job of being more relaxed about things. Although the mass of dishes on the kitchen counter were hard to deal with but getting a load in the dishwasher yesterday really helped clear off some of the counter so I'm feeling less stressed about it.

CS/Q: nice temp bump up again. is this considered triphasic even though I only had lower temps for 3 days before it jumped up?

@inthewoods23 @photographerwife nice temp bumps. @asf0613 I'm having the same issue this month. 
@mvt2003 😂@ "Excellent" timing. 

First time on a TWW thread! Nice to see some folks from the WTO thread. 🙂

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 20/1

Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0 (we went all out this month!)

Typical LP length: I honestly have no idea; I had my IUD removed in Dec 2019, and I think my body has been adjusting for longer than expected because last 3 LPs have been: 11, 13, 10. 🤷‍♀️

Testing: gonna use Proov to check ovulation 3 DPO and progesterone levels 7-10 DPO but no other tests. I can tell what's what by cervix position anyways. 

R/R: not today

CS/Q: started using Tempdrop this month and the temperatures are all over the place... so frustrating when you spend $$$; still using my trusty Premom bbt thermometer and it's doing what it's supposed to do. 

asf0613

@acleverusernameis this your first cycle using Proov? i had gone back and forth last cycle about getting it but now i've decided that if this isnt my cycle i am doing it next month

inthewoods23

@acleverusername @asf0613 is that the progesterone test I've seen floating around as a sponsored FB post? The weirdest sponsored ad I've seen from FB based on my TTC search history was an at home insemination product called (I think) Moxie or Moxie Baby.

Month/Cycle: 25/19/9 (AL#2)

CD/DPO: 26/8dpiui

Timing: Hopefully spot on! 

Typical LP length: 15-16 days

Testing: 06/22

R/R: Hi ladies and Happy Tuesday! Sorry I have been a terrible participant lately! I actually started a post yesterday morning and then never made it back to finish! After work last night, we worked on putting landscaping stones/pavers around everything...for like 4 hours! It was so much work...but it look so much better! We have more work to do tonight...but hopefully it won’t take the entire evening again! Work has been super busy...which has been great with keeping my mind off all things TTC related, but it means I haven’t been able to interact here! I am going to try and do much better this week...I know I said that last week and failed though! I’m in a conference call now so I have some time...shhh, don’t tell anyone! 

CS/Q: None. 

@mvt2003 ugh, the waiting definitely sucks! But, you are one day closer...I think that’s a great way to look a it! Sorry progesterone is already playing mind games with you! I’ve told myself the last couple of cycles that whatever could be happening with my body can most likely be explained by the progesterone suppositories, so I’m going to try not to SS...that’s so much easier said than done though! 😂

@photographerwife glad things are settling down for you this week! Hope you can take some time to relax aside from your small tasks! That is a pretty rise you have going on there!

@asf0613 sending you patient vibes to hold off on testing, you can do it! Hope things go well with your restaurant job tonight! Also hope the busy week makes the TWW go by very fast! 

@inthewoods23 glad you are doing better today! That’s good that getting the a load in the dishwasher helped to lower stress! Very nice rise going on for you!!

@acleverusername sorry it seems like your body is still regulating! Hopefully this is your cycle and it won’t even matter what your “normal” LP is! Your timing looks great!

@asf0613 - 2nd month; I actually found it really useful last month since it was negative DPO 7-10; helped me get a blood requisition for a Day 21 progesterone test from my doc. 
@inthewoods23 - yes, it's the at home progesterone test. I would have to agree with you re: Mosie Baby. It's not something I imagine trying myself. 🙈

inthewoods23

@acleverusername yes Mosie not Moxie lol. It just doesn't seem worth it considering at a clinic they do a sperm wash so you're only using the best of the bunch sperm vs whatever you collect in the container. Also IUIs actually insert it all into the uterus, not just at the opening of the cervix like the Mosie device does (if I'm remembering correctly).

Month/Cycle: I lost count.  We've been trying for four years now.
CD/DPO: 19/4 Apparently I couldn't count yesterday (1, 4, 54, 34, 75, . . . )
Timing: IUI
LP length: 14 days
Testing: Jun 27
R/R:  Been trying to stay hydrated and keep my feet warm.  Been doing housework here and there, but I'm mostly just sitting around on youtube.  MIL has baby on the brain; it's all she talks about, and it's a little hard to deal with.
CS/Q:Nope, too bored to think.
