Re: TWW New Year Long Weekend 2021!
CD/DPO: 31/4
Timing: -3, -1
Typical LP length: 12-13
Testing: not yet
R/R: I think I've finally gotten a sustained temp shift? Honestly I'm not holding out hope for it since CM was iffy but I miss the dailies so here I am! I took the last 2 days to myself and it felt really good. I finished a 1000 piece puzzle and just didn't push myself too much. I'm ready to hit reset today and am committed to starting my day.. around 10 AM
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your favorite New Year memory? Probably DH's and my immediate 2 post college New Year's. We spent it out with friends and had a blasting dancing all night. New Year's is a little more tame these days!
edited to finish filling out the info haha
Month/Cycle: 11/12
CD/DPO: 12/1
Timing: horrible
Typical LP length: don’t know since I won’t take progesterone this month
Testing: not a chance
R/R: this is a blow-out cycle since my lining was so thin (at 4.11mm); not viable for pregnancy. So I’m just gonna sit this one out and gather the necessary IVF info in the meantime.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What is your favorite New Year memory? As an adult, I’ve actually had more bad NYE memories than good. Somehow something nefarious always happened so I stopped making a big to-do’s out of New Years when I noticed that pattern. These days MH and I go to bed at 9:30 anyways, and we don’t make an exception for NY.
Okay, I don't want to be a spoilsport so I'll just say back in my twenties, I went to this one hotel party (and it ended up being bad because the friend I went with locked me out of our hotel room after she saw a guy she was interested in make out with someone else... or something like that... it was boy related). But I do remember just grabbing some random stranger at midnight and making out with him! LOL. Oh back when I had no cares! We also had quite the ridiculous photo shoot... I still have photos from that party.
ETA: a happy-ish NYE memory

R/R: I have so much to do. I need to make a list so I can stop procrastinating. I need to order a new laptop cord so I can use my silhouette machine. I’m itching to make something. I worked out yesterday in a barre class (at home) and my legs are so sore. I plan to do a good stretch today and then try to workout again tomorrow.
CS/Q: I’m amazed none of these temps have adjusted down. My RHR went up again too. It’s looking nice and I hope I can hold out to test but it’s gonna be hard.
GTKY: What is your favorite New Year memory? We don’t go all out celebrating New Years. Mainly because DH has always worked that holiday so he can have Christmas off. I used to go out to the bars and clubs in my early 20’s but I wouldn’t necessarily call any of those my best New Years memory.
@fameonmain2 Today’s temp is high and you have enough to confirm ovulation. Has your CM dried up. If so, I would say this is it!
@acleverusername That sounds like a good party. Sorry your friend acted so ridiculous.
@emeraldcity1214 thanks! No more CM at all so here's to hoping something is happening! Nice work on the barre class -- happy NYE!
