Re: TWW Tuesday 11.3

  • Month/Cycle: 3/2

    CD/DPO: 25/7

    Timing: good

    Typical LP length: 11-13 days

    Testing: Sunday at earliest (only have cheapies and they aren’t very sensitive so Sunday may even be too early tbh) 

    R/R:  I’ve been watching old 30 Rock episodes in the evenings and they are just so funny and uplifting and amazing.

    CS/Q: here’s a funny story of how crazy I’m going with the SS: *TMI*  yesterday evening I wiped and got a gob of cm and a little faint spot of blood - got so excited - like over the moon.  Reality came crashing down.... hi that’s the lube and spotting from your dang Pap smear today you fool.  LOL how did I forget about that hugely uncomfortable part of my day?!

  • Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: CD24/8DPO

    Timing: good

    Typical LP length: 13 last cycle

    Testing: tomorrow 

    R/R: I have been awake since 4:30. I think my body is all messed up from DST. The days are already getting super short. The sun comes up at 9:30 and goes down at 4:30. I’m thinking of getting a SAD lamp this year. I felt fine last year until mid January. As for today, we are headed to the lake. Last week we got to watch the coast guard practice water rescues. They were actually in the water too. Picture of that in spoiler. The lake was completely frozen so they are out there standing on it. They had to saw through the ice. That’s also around 11 am and it’s still pretty dark out. 


    CS/Q: Tempdrop only dropped yesterday’s temp by .1 and gave me a temp of 99.3 today. My chart is looking promising. 



  • @canucklehead123 did you stop temping? I love looking at charts which is why I ask. Sorry you had to go in for a pap but yay! It’s over! 
  • Month/Cycle: 13/12

    CD/DPO: 28/7

    Timing: -5,-3,0

    Typical LP length: 14 days

    Testing: Friday? Sunday? 

    R/R: Hubs is the newest target of the "Mean Girls" at work and his HR department answers to Regina. He hates his job and is now looking elsewhere. 

    CS/Q: 


  • @canucklehead123 I have done that with leftover semen 🌝
    @emeraldcity1214. I am going to have to get my husband one of those lamps. He was already grumpy at 6:20 when I got home. 

  • @canucklehead123 isn’t SS so fun?! Lol 
    @emeraldcity1214 that’s cool to watch those rescues. Your chart looks great! 
    @legendairymomma another beautiful chart!

    Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 21/5

    Timing: pretty good!

    Typical LP length: 11 days last cycle 

    Testing: holding out until the weekend at least!

    R/R: I am getting my Christmas decor out today! My new fake tree comes on Thursday. Looking forward to enjoying my Christmas stuff this year. Anything to make this dumpster fire of a year better😂

    CS/Q: temps are weird but still very much elevated over the cover line. I’ll take it!


  • @emeraldcity1214 Yes I did stop temping - it's too much anxiety for me (I stopped after confirming O last time ttc too and just felt alot less anxiety, I read into everything just WAY too much).

  • @canucklehead123 I’ve been there too. I managed to convince myself last cycle that I was having legitimate symptoms even though we’d been ntnp and I’m sure our timing was horrendous. I’m trying to stay busy this time around so I don’t do it but I’m sure it’ll happen still. 
    @emeraldcity1214 I’m sure those exercises were fun to watch! The picture looks so cool. 
    @legendairymomma ugh that sucks for your husband! I’ve been in situations like that before and it’s the worst. 
    @daisy528 that’s awesome! I’ve broken out my holiday masks at work but am trying to hold off on decorating the house for now cuz I know MH would hate it this early

    Month/Cycle: 2/1

    CD/DPO: 32/2

    Timing: good

    Typical LP length: first time tracking really so 🤷‍♀️

    Testing: holding off as long as possible

    R/R: I’m almost done with work for the day thankfully but I’m not looking forward to all the election talk that I’m sure will be happening for quite a while now. It’s all just so stressful. I’ll just have to find ways to distract myself in the meantime I guess!

    @emeraldcity1214 @legendairymomma your charts are so pretty. ❤️🤞🏻
