Re: TWW Friday 3/26
Month/Cycle: 28/31
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -2,O
Typical LP length: 10-13 days (doing some testing next cycle to see what’s happening)
Testing: Next week sometime
R/R: I felt off all day yesterday and of course I was like “maybe my body is working on iMpLaNtAtIoN” haha - so the SS has arrived. I had someone at work ask me to find a vaccine appointment for their mother in law but they only wanted it at one specific location of a pharmacy and I’ve been driving myself crazy for a week refreshing the website seeing every location except for that one. She finally found an appointment somewhere else (why wasn’t somewhere else an option for me?) so I’m happy to be finally free! Also happy it’s Friday (even though I have to work tomorrow)! TGIF!
CS/Q:
@bows22 isn't SS the worst? What a cruel trick of mother nature to have PG and non PG symptoms be the same. Sorry you had such a headache dealing with the vax scheduling!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 23/10
Timing: good
Typical LP length: 13-14
Testing: Tuesday
R/R: I have a massage tomorrow!! Probably ruined all the progress she made 2 weeks ago by doing all the weightlifting that targets my already tight muscles 😂🤷♀️
CS/Q: not much to see of value since I started waking up early to better align with the UK team. Probably throwing my temps off a little, even though it's only 45 min difference.
@bows22 SS is, to me, the hardest mind fluck out of all the TTGP stuff. hang in there!
@pajamstagrams that massage sounds WONDERFUL - enjoy!!!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 29, 15 DPO
Timing: -2, +1
Typical LP length: 14
Testing: still stark white BFN, @bows22 I'm beginning to think you might be right about the CD 18 O date lol. waiting on AF basically and if she comes later today I'll edit and go over to WTO
R/R: getting my second vaccine dose today! planning on being dead to the world for the weekend, watching lots of streaming sites under a weighted blanket
CS/Q: temps still elevated but not outside of what is typical for me
today I’m thinking your LP might be shorter than 14 days. I’ll be curious to see! Good luck with your shot today!
@bows22 for your viewing pleasure 😂 . We're loving the cover line this month. My temps pre and post O were oddly close together this month. Idk what was going on. (Also, the dotted CH because I usually still have EWCM 3 days after O.)
ETA: I have definitely learned my lesson, ALWAYS have OPKs
@pajamstagrams enjoy that massage! I’m sure your tight muscles will thank you for it!
@chgilmore argh, sorry that you’re in the BFN limbo. Hopefully you get an answer soon! (And 🤞🏻that it’s favorable!) Enjoy your weekend of R&R.
Month/Cycle: 15/15
CD/DPO: 13/1
Timing: -3, -1 (IUI), O (IUI)
Typical LP length: 15-17 depending how long I take progesterone for
Testing: doc cleared me to test 12 days from yesterday so on 4/6. Also testing out the trigger.
R/R: it’s MHs birthday today and I’m taking him away for the weekend to Carmel! It’s also our 12th sexanniversary. Lol. We celebrate it jokingly because a bit of sex when we first met led us back to one another 9 years later and now we’re hitched. Also, my boobs are so sore and I haven’t even started the progesterone yet. That’s what you get when ovulating 4 eggs. Blergh! Oh and another rave: I started learning to play the piano over Christmas break, and yesterday I spent a good hour trying to figure out my first song with harmony. I did a really great job and even made a video of myself to send to my parents.
CS/Q: I forgot to wear all my wearables last night — Oura ring and my TD so this lags by 1 day. But I had a significant temp jump Wed-Thu night. Anyway, I O’ed about 24 hrs after trigger shot which is really early. Normally O is 34-42 hours later. Very happy we did 2 IUIs both because of early O and because of poor quality sample the 2nd day. Also doctor yesterday said that even tho I O’ed the night before, yesterday I was not post ovulation which is why I’m counting today at 1DPO.
