CD/DPO: 28/11

Timing: None

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: No HPTs

R/R: It’s Friday! My temp is down, I’m having cramps, and I’m just WFAF so we can actually start trying. Am I the only one who calculates a potential due date every CD1? 

CS/Q: Nothing interesting

@fitzfizz I used to but I haven't the last few cycles, each cycle that passes I just assume it will be sometime in the month after the last one. I've been lazy with TTC lately though.

Month/Cycle: 2/2  AL #2

CD/DPO: 22/4

Timing: Had surgery so doesnt really matter

Typical LP length: 10-11 days

Testing: No. Will WFAF

R/R: Off at home from work till mid next week resting from yesterday. Im bleeding from my surgery but to be as expected:( sucks! Hope it doesnt last too many days. Its been miserable out these past few days. Soo windy and stormy and rainy. Good day to curl up inside on the couch and watch Netflix! 😀 My throat is sore from the tube in my throat from the anesthesia yesterday I hate sore throats. It should only last for a few days they said. They gave me a yummy cherry popsicle yesterday after I woke up. Lol. Soo yummy and felt good on my throat. It's amazing how a popsicle makes everyone happy even if your not a little kid 😆 

CS/Q: Temps are climbing up. 

@fitzfizz No, you're not alone. I calculate a new potential due date every new cycle too LOL. Hopefully AF comes for you soon so you can actually start to try this next cycle. Im excited for you.

Re: calculating EDD on CD1...I have never done this; I don't think I could torture myself this way. Plus, it's easy enough to ballpark it whenever there are grad announcements (which I hope just keep on happening!)

R/R: Major lurking this week since I’ve been in work mode for all of my working hours. Looking to reengage this weekend and next week and catch up on what i missed this week. 

CS/Q: CH keep moving, temp dips and then same same reading multiple times. Drives me bonkers.

@chindimples04 Thank you. How do you manually add your own crosshairs in? I didnt know you could do that lol

@mindyb2019 When I started back in December I found my old “pregnancy wheel” from OB rotations. You turn it to your CD 1 and it tells you the dates for everything after that. It is a very handy form of self-torture! 

@chindimples04 I agree with your manual CH. have you tried adding a fake temp for the next day to see what it says for CH? That has helped in the past when I was not sure but thinking I probably had it.

@and846 I was having a problem earlier this month where my thermometer kept giving me the exact same readings multiple days in a row, so I don’t trust it anymore. I took the battery out and put it back in and now it seems more reliable, but I can’t be sure. I have a new one ready to start next month.

@mindyb2019 in the settings, there is a detector/override setting. There are 5 different options that it can detect O, one of which is a manual override. I had some rough nights of sleep around O, so my temps got a little wacky.
@fitzfizz I haven’t! I will try that and see what happens. I didn’t sleep at all on what I think is O day, so that temp was super high. The last couple cycles, my 1dpo temp is BARELY above cover line, so this would match that pattern. I’ll play around!
