Month/Cycle: 30/33

CD/DPO: 22/7-8

Timing: Either just in time or a little too late  

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: I have FRERs coming tomorrow but I have one left from last cycle that I’ll probably convince myself to use tomorrow. 

R/R: We had a work happy hour last night to celebrate the deadline (even though the deadline had nothing to do with me and I’m still really busy haha) and it was fun to do something social with coworkers after so long. Then I went to bed really early because the drinks made me tired and finally got a decent night of sleep! Yay. 

CS/Q: My temps are so close to cover line but since my temps around O are all screwed up I think my cover line is higher than it should be

@bows22 yay social time!

Month/Cycle: 6 AL

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: very good

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: Thursday

R/R: I checked everything off my list yesterday my! Even folding and putting away all my clothes! Left the load of towels in the dryer though but whatever. I could easily do that today. It's a gorgeous day today but we are expecting rain later. Please nourish our plants mother nature ☺️

Rant: I'm on my own again for work both today and tomorrow so FX it's not insanely busy.

CS/Q: boy am I happy to see that temp jump. Downward trends make me nervous!

@bows22 sounds like a fun night, and glad you got some sleep!

@inthewoods23 nice job getting things done! I feel like I always make a list for myself on days off and then I enjoy the ability to lounge so much that I cross like 1/3 of it off 😆

Month/Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 26

Timing: ok

Typical LP length: 14ish

Testing: nope

R/R: well I did a stupid thing yesterday and pulled all my old clothes out of storage to see what still fit. Long story short I’m basically going to be naked once we go back to the office after Labor Day. That was super depressing, but I’m sending everything to thredUP so hopefully I’ll be able to make a little money and fund my new wardrobe 🙃

General TW? Not sure if it’s needed but alluding to LO

I know this is only cycle 2 of actually trying (with 5 or so cycles of NTNP) but I’m already so down that this could take another 2 years. I don’t think I could do it again. My end of cycle moodiness isn’t helping.

CS/Q: no

inthewoods23

@b_1029 I'd lounge too if I didn't have so much motivation. The awesome weather really helps keep my mood up. Have you and YH talked about going back and doing IUIs sooner rather than later? Does your RE still expect you to try for a year first?

b_1029

@inthewoods23 we haven’t talked about it. He’s too hopeful and I’m too cynical. Maybe I’ll call the RE soon just to see and then I’ll bring it up.

ReadyForaB

@bows22 That sounds like a fun night!

@inthewoods23 It feels good when you're able to check everything off your list.  Enjoy!

@b_1029 Ugh!!!!! Been there. 

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 29/8

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 14 days but shorter and irregular since loss

Testing: nope

R/R: We have a wedding this weekend.  An actual wedding.  I am so excited. 

CS/Q: Not today. 

kgg2241

@bows22 yay for happy hour and a decent night of sleep!

@inthewoods23 good job being so productive! And that temp spike looks good 🤞!

@b_1029

I feel ya. I know it hasn't been long for us this time either, but I have a lot of anxiety and fear of it taking two years again. I was so hopeful we would be one of those snowflake couples who gets pregnant right off the bat after struggling before. It got me real down when that wasn't the case. So no advice but I get how upsetting it is to think about. Hugs ❤️.

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 24/7

Timing: good

Typical LP length: 15 or 16 daya

Testing: Friday

R/R: IT got me a new laptop and seemed pretty unphased by the whole thing.. Apparently a lady melted her laptop with a lamp too close. So at least I didn't do that 😆. Rant is that we had to cancel camping this weekend. It is supposed to rain and be super cold. I'm a bit bummed about it.

CS/Q: nope

abjm0325

@bows22 Glad you had a fun night with coworkers!

@inthewoods23 Woohoo, way to be productive!

@b_1029 Haha, loving the naked return to the office plan. Hope you can get some money for the clothes so you can get new ones that you will feel great in.

@ReadyForaB Have fun at the wedding!

@kgg2241 I shudder to think of all the crazy things IT people have probably seen.

 

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: Meh

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: WFAF

R/R: I have to have a meeting today with one of the people that is causing a lot of the problems for my department (although we aren’t meeting about that). Here’s hoping I can keep a neutral expression during the meeting. Wearing a mask for so long has me out of practice controlling my very loud facial expressions. 

CS/Q: Nope

b_1029

@ReadyForaB oooo have fun getting all dressed up for the wedding! We’re definitely at the end of it, but used to have so many weddings a year. I hated it at the time but now I wish we had an excuse to dress nicely and spend a nice night together! 

@kgg2241 I was hoping the same, so I’m here with ya. I’m glad they weren’t mad about the laptop, but wtf to someone melting theirs with a lamp? Did they like sit their computer on top of the lightbulb? Haha 

@abjm0325 LOL I was thinking that the other day, I find myself making weird faces / with my mouth open a lot in the mask. Hope the meeting goes well and you’re able to hide your feelings haha

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/4

Timing: decent? I think -3, -1 🤷‍♀️

Typical LP length: 14-16

Testing: holding out for 12 DPO 

R/R: I did a core workout this morning which was super dumb because it means my abdominal region will be sore tomorrow and I will definitely SS that at 5 DPO. I’m pre-annoyed at myself. 

CS/Q: nope

@b_1029 just sending hugs 🫂 (this emoji pops up when I type “hugs” and if I squint it’s two people hugging but I definitely thought it was a blue slice of cake with mouse ears first)

@ReadyforaB have so much fun at the wedding!

@kgg2241 how does a lamp get hot enough to melt a laptop?! Yikes!!!

@inthewoods23 Every time I dry towels I end up drying them twice because I forget about them and then I’m mad they’re not fluffy anymore. I aspire to one day wash, dry, and fold towels all on the same day. 😂

ReadyForaB

@b_1029 yes, we went through a phase where we had weddings constantly.  Now, we are lucky to have one a year for the past three years.  COVID didn't help either. I am excited for a night out. 

bows22

@inthewoods23 nice job on the to do list! I’m really impressed you got it all done!

@b_1029 I definitely think you should call the doctor to see what the plan is. Even if you aren’t ready to start yet at least you will know if you’re able to go back earlier than 1 year 

@ReadyForaB we went to a wedding last weekend it felt SO normal. I was afraid it would be weird but it really wasn’t. I hope you have the same experience!

@kgg2241 very happy to hear it went well with the new laptop!

@abjm0325  lol @ the facial expressions. I don’t think I ever do a good job at controlling mine. Especially when I’m on a zoom meeting sometimes I forget that people are looking at me. I hope you were able to hide your annoyance!

@rachelredhead yep you are definitely in for a day of SS tomorrow! Haha

*lurking from WTO*
@b_1029 I agree with what others have said; I'd give your doc a call and even ask about Letrazole + TI if you're comfortable with that. Good luck! Sending you hugs.
