@bows22 I had just copied the WTO prompt and was about to post when I decided to refresh and see if you were doing it, and of course you were. I’m sure we are simultaneously posting right now haha

Month/Cycle: 10/3 AL

CD/DPO: 19/3

Timing: -2, -1, O

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: WFAF 

R/R: I finally started watching “The Mandalorian” this week and I really liked it! Finished last night and was sad until I realized season 2 comes out later this month. My procrastination paid off! 

CS/Q: I can’t seem to make FF agree with my ovulation date no matter what I do so I have given up. I just will mentally subtract one day from the DPO. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@fitzfizz I was sure you were doing it too so I tried to be so fast haha. We weren’t posting here at the same time though because I decided to make my FFFC first. I’m not a Star Wars fan but I do enjoy baby yoda and the memes! DH is excited about season 2 of the Mandalorian too so I’m sure I’ll end up watching some of it 

Month/Cycle: 23/25

CD/DPO: 21/6

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

Typical LP length: 12 

Testing: Probably 10 DPO

R/R: My deadline work is done! What a weight lifted off. I sent my team a nice email last night and I hope they are feeling good too. I have some stuff I need to catch up on today because I’m taking off next week, but the pressure is definitely off. I won’t be around next week (see FFFC) so don’t be worried about me but I’m sure I’ll find the time to pop back in if I magically have good news to share, as I am definitely taking FRERs with me (and tampons, TSA will be very confused if they search my suitcase). AF is due for me on Friday so I’ll be back to WTO when I get home. And then we will call the RE to discuss next steps! Have a great weekend ladies!

CS/Q:

@fitzfizz You’re tempting me to watch the mandolorian. I’m petty and didn’t want to watch it bc MH liked it 🙈  

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 27/9

Timing: good

Typical LP length: unknown 

Testing: I want to say Saturday but I have no self control

R/R: rave: made it to Friday finally and I’m having a socially distanced walk with my neighbor on Sunday. First time seeing a friend in months. Rant: I talked myself into Wendy’s yesterday even though it makes my stomach upset and I still feel 🥴 this morning 

CS/Q: I’m trying so hard not to over analyze it bc I’ve been super hot and cold the last couple of days. Last night it was 74 degrees in the house and I was freeeezing. I’m hoping I’m not getting sick 😓

Edit: typos

fitzfizz

@bows22 Have fun in Disney and I hope you don’t end up needing the tampons at all! 

@mc0303 If you liked the older Star Wars movies you would probably like the Mandalorian. It definitely had old Star Wars vibes. 

mc0303

@bows22 have so much fun!! You deserve it. So glad the work deadline is finished must feel loads lighter FX for no tampons!! 

bows22

@mc0303 I wouldn’t read too much into your temps. You definitely could have just been cold. Have fun on your walk on Sunday!

I will likely be posting and ghosting today since I’m at our manufacturing facility all day plus my phone has about 15% charge as I forgot to plug it in when running GPS this morning and the commute was 50mi!

@fitzfizz it’s glorious when procrastination pays off. Especially like it when it makes a chore totally disappear (I.e. it’s no longer relevant.)

@bows22 Enjoy Disney. You deserve it and I know you will take all of the precautions and still have a great time. 

@mc0303 I hope it’s not a cold! Also be strong and hold off until Saturday! It’s only tomorrow.

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 23/10

Timing: just “OK” according to FF

Typical LP length: 17 days because of progesterone 

Testing: tomorrow or Sunday 🤷‍♀️

R/R: I had a visit with a psychiatrist yesterday to see if I should get back on anti-anxiety meds since I can feel it increasing and in the past it’s always culminated in a panic attack. The session was great and I’ll post more about some tips / advice he had for me in the Mental Health thread. But I am starting on a low dose of Lexapro today. I feel pretty good about it. Although no medication have been absolutely positively proven to be 💯 safe for pregnancy, Lexapro is among those that is very well researched and recommended. I’ve been on it before so I know it works for me. 

CS/Q: feeling less hopeful today hence the flip-flopping of testing from Saturday to maybe Sunday. I think progesterone is really messing with my body even though it’s my 3rd month taking it. My chart of tracking exactly the same as my Aug cycle. And obviously I didn’t get KUed then.

Cycle: 3rd round

DPO: 9 DPO (11 DPT)

Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0

Testing: I've been testing since yesterday because I wanted to test out my trigger and yesterday was 10 days past trigger. Yesterday, there was still a faint line. Today, it was pretty much gone, so I think my trigger's out now. Still, I was really bummed to see a BFN. I was secretly hoping that yesterday's faint line could've been the real deal instead of the trigger. 

R/R: Today was just one of those days that is bad from start to finish. It started badly and just kept getting worse. I guess I'm glad it's almost over. I am just praying that tomorrow is a better one and that the weekend brings some positivity.

@acleverusername I’m glad you didn’t procrastinate and talked to your doctor about getting back on the lexapro! I hope it works well for your anxiety. 

@fingerscrossed1 I’m sorry your day has been so awful. FX the weekend brings some peace and happiness! 

bows22

@acleverusername I hope you had a good day today! I know you were excited about it. 

@fingerscrossed1 the good news is you still have plenty of time for the line to get darker again. I hope it does!

fingerscrossed1

@fitzfizz & @bows22 Thank you both so much for the support!

@fingerscrossed1 I'm sorry you had such a crappy day, and for the reality of a BFN. Hopefully you'll get that BFP sooooooon! 

@bows22 my day was amazing but TIRESOME! Still not sleeping well and ended up having to have a coffee at 3pm to get me through the day.
