Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 24/6

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 11-13 days

Testing: waiting till weekend 

R/R:  seeing our family doctor likely for the last time today - she is moving at the end of the month.. I really like her (and so does dh) so I’m disappointed and also annoyed at having to go through the motions of finding a new doc that we all like. 

CS/Q: none, trying not to SS lol

@canucklehead123 O haven’t had an actual doctor in a few years. I don’t get sick much. I went and established care the other day at a new place and it was ok. Their COVID procedures were ridiculous though. They lacked you out of the office and you had to answer yes or no to 20 different questions before you were allowed in. By the time I got through the door I was beyond frustrated. So I likely won’t go there again unless I absolutely have to. 

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: CD23/ 7DPO

Timing: good 

Typical LP length: 13 days last cycle  

Testing: Maybe Wednesday if I can’t hold out  

R/R: I have been on a new eating plan. I have lost 13 lbs so far and feel so much better. I have been trying to make sure I have plenty of food around to eat so I don’t get hungry so I have been cooking meals from scratch. I haven’t really cooked in a very long time so it is really fun to see the things I have been doing. I made chicken pot pie from scratch last night. A few nights before I made an enchilada casserole from scratch. 

CS/Q: Well, my temp went up to 99 this morning and Tempdrop didn’t adjust yesterday’s temp down. I’m positive today’s temp will be adjusted down tomorrow.

@canucklehead123 ugh I hate having to find a new doctor. I had to go through that process finding one for DH, and it was miserable. 

@emeraldcity1214 that’s awesome about the weight loss! What sort of eating program is it?

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -3, -2, -1 pretty good

Typical LP length: still unsure, but it was 12 days last cycle 

Testing: I’d like to hold out until AF, but I’ll probably cave around 10dpo lol

R/R: I made myself a breakfast quesadilla this morning with scrambled eggs, cheese, onion, red peppers, and bacon then dipped it in sour cream and salsa. HEAVENLY! 

CS/Q: no questions🙂

Month/Cycle: 13/12

CD/DPO: 27/6

Timing: -5,-3,0

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: Sunday or WFAF

R/R: I am really feeling the sugar hangover today. I have gone 13 months without taking NSAIDs for 3 weeks of my cycle and I could really use a Tylenol today 😣

CS/Q: a true thing of beauty...

@daisy528 that sounds DELICIOUS!!
@emeraldcity1214 I am confused at your saying that tempdrop adjusts your temp...can you elaborate on that? I just use a regular bbt thermometer. 
@canucklehead123 I know that feeling too well. My ob/gyn left and it took me 4 years to find a new one

@daisy528 I have a friend who was posting about her weight loss and within 6 months she had literally lost an entire person. So I started asking her what she was doing and she told me It was Trim Healthy Mama. You basically eat protein at every meal and snack and either eat fats or carbs with it. You don’t mix your fats and carbs if you’re trying to lose. You can mix them if you are want to lose at a slower pace. I highly recommend it. I was stuck unable to make my weight budge and feeling bloated all the time so this has been great. 

@legendairymomma Tempdrop is a thermometer that I wear all night long. It doesn’t require a solid 3 hours of sleep so you can be up and down all night and still get a reliable temp. It takes your temperature all night long and then uses an algorithm to give you your BBT. So you get your initial temperature and then it continues to adjust the last 3 temperatures to give you the most accurate temperature. It learns your sleep patterns and adjusts over time to give you your most accurate temperature. It takes 60 days to learn your patterns and during that time it will adjust all your temps (which is very frustrating to new users) and then after the 60 days mark it only adjusts the last 3. When it doesn’t adjust your temp that’s a good thing because it’s giving you the most accurate temp the first time. Sometimes I will get really high temps during my FW that I know shouldn’t be that high and it always adjusts them the next day. I would be surprised if it didn’t bring today’s temp down because it is quite a bit higher than yesterday’s. I have been using it since 2017 and I trust the algorithm 100%. It has never been wrong and has always given me a shift. I don’t think I could ever go back to a regular BBT. Since I use charting as a method to avoid pregnancy this literally takes the work out of the entire method.

@legendairymomma I also want to say, your chart is beautiful. 😍

@canucklehead123 sorry to hear about the doc leaving. It’s always a pain trying to find someone new!
@emeraldcity1214 congrats on the weight loss! I’m sure it feels great seeing some change after being stuck, at least I know it always does for me. 

@daisy528 your breakfast sounds amazing and is making me crave some greasy breakfast food right now
@legendairymomma I’m feeling you on the sugar hangover, my stomach wasn’t happy with how much Halloween candy I ate last night!

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 31/1 (probably)

Timing: good

Typical LP length: unknown

Testing: going to hold off for as long as possible

R/R: I had super duper EWCM yesterday and my OPKs are back down to almost nothing so I think yesterday was O. No matter what our timing was good but not getting my hopes up since we’re just starting out. Rant is that I’ve currently been waiting over an hour to get my oil changed in my car!
