I hope its okay I started this. I've been up since 5am here and its a lazy day around the house. 

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD/DPO: 22/no clue

Timing: meh

Typical LP length: 12-14d? I'm questioning #allthethings

Testing: Monday

R/R: I started reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility last night, as recommended by you lovely ladies. It resulted in my staring down my chart and wondering that I probably interpreted some of the signs wrong. Its the first time I've used Apple's Books app, which I actually really like. I use Audible a lot for read out loud. I have several books on the Kindle app, but Books is pretty nice. 

CS/Q: bleh. I'm over this cycle.

@emmylou78 totally fine that you started the threads. Whoever is ready to post first can do it, it’s just usually the same couple of people that are up early. Good luck testing on Monday, I hope you
just get a BFP and never need to know what’s happening with your chart!

@emmylou78 learning about your own fertility is a long journey; don’t be hard on yourself. Good luck testing on Monday and good luck with learning #allthethings. Don’t forget we’re here in case you’ve got questions.

Month/Cycle: 11/11

CD/DPO: 21/9

Timing: IUI so excellent 

Typical LP length: 17 when taking progesterone 

Testing: Nope; waiting for beta on the 17th

R/R: rant: found our yesterday that my lining was only 3.91mm at my monitoring ultrasound and I have no idea why the doctor thought it was a good idea to proceed with the IUI. I emailed the clinic last night but I don’t expect a response until Monday. Although sometimes the doctor looks at messages over the weekend so who knows. I’m pissed is all.

Rave: we brought our Christmas tree home today (natural) and it was literally love at first sight. MH went to our something in the car and said he’ll come find me in the tree yard. I walked in, saw this beautiful Douglas fir in the front section (reject section) and just fell in love. I went to look at other Douglas firs thinking this one might be a bit too big (we had decided on a “small” tree) but when MH came in, I showed him my first choice and he’s like “this is our tree!” This is his first real tree ever! I’m so excited to decorate it, even though we have all of 2 ornaments right now. Haha.

CS/Q: Nope 

Edited: for instead of DOR. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 16/5

Timing: -2, O

Typical LP length: 14 

Testing: undecided

R/R: Overall, not a bad day. But it's 40 degrees and snowing outside, so we are staying inside. 

@acleverusername: Ugh, sorry to hear that is the situation. Hopefully you get a response soon. Sucky to find out on a Friday and have to wait as well.

@emmylou78 Enjoy reading it! Great resource.

@emmylou78 7 cycles in and I still have no idea what my body is doing. Is such a learning curve, especially since our bodies aren’t robotic like we wish they were! I hope you are learning lots though!
@acleverusername that tree is stunning! I am so sorry they proceeded with the IUI despite less than stellar lining. I’m hoping it doesn’t matter! ❤️

@bmo88 you can keep the snow! We haven’t gotten any and I don’t want any! 🤣

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 15/2

Timing: -3, -1, +1

Typical LP length: 11-12 days

Testing: 20th, since my Tarot card reading said 20 was one of my numbers (I’ll be 10 dpo so it’s not COMPLETE craziness)

R/R: I finished all my Christmas shopping and just need to finish the wrapping! Almost there!

CS/Q: pretty sure I ovulated the night of my positive OPK (CD13) based on symptoms, the sticks, and the temp increase.

@bmo88 @chindimples04 good news; my RE got back to me and said lining was actually 7.8mm; for some reason they only measured 1/2 of the diameter this cycle; whereas last cycle, they measured the full diameter. Go figure. 

@bmo88 Snow is... pretty to look at? Enjoy staying indoors.
@chindimples04 welcome to the TWW side of the fence. Your chart looks good! I would agree with O on CD13. 

emmylou78

That’s great news @acleverusername ! Did you wave it in front of your husbands face? So glad you called and got an answer! 

chindimples04

@acleverusername oh thank goodness! I’m so glad you got an answer. 7.8mm is awesome! 🎉  Hoping things “went right” this cycle for us.

@emmylou78 luckily MH had the humility to admit that I did the right thing by messaging the RE; so no waving in his face required.
